STOCKS DULL AND STRONG.
The prevailing feature In the stock market was
dulness, which at times became stagnatl0n. The
market was firm, with further considerable adj
vance In prices Rock Island sold nc 1925 and Wa
bash at coz. These were abont the only features of

holders whose stock was borrowed just before the
recent sudden closing Of the books intend
disputing the lulhlment OF the lease Of
the road 10 the pennsylvania Railroad, which
guarantees only ten per cent dividends, when the
road Is capable OF earning much more, and has for
two years past earned from 10 TO 20 per cent. Tho
point will be made that the lease must be ratified
by Q majority Of the stockholders as they shall
stand ON reclosing after reopcning OF the books
for special election, and doubtless an Injunction
Will be sought to prevent consummation Of the
lease without such preliminary action. Hannibal

ami declined TO 46G.
