THE STOCK MARKET
The chief activity OF the day was manifested in
Pacific Mail, which opened at Az, sold i'm
mediately at AK, receded to 4Oh and then to Al.
Rallying 1t sold up to AK Az a AN; but
towards the close again weakened, with final
sales at 4Ox q 40la. The rest OF the market indi-
Gated strength and a firm undertone, which found
outlet in the prediction that next week will wit
ness the resumption OF the upward speculative
movement and an advance in prices. Symptoms OF
such tendency were exhibited to-day in c., G. and
l. G., Union Pacific, Lake Shore and Atlantic
and Pacific preferred. The last named
stock opened at 20 and gained per cent but
closed at 2sA 293. This activity Is possibly due
to meeting of the directors Of the company to-
day, ut which Thomas A. Scott, Of Pennsylvania,
was elected President; Andrew Pierce, Jr., Vice
President and General Manager, and General Clin-
ton D. Fisk, OF St Louis, Treasurer; John Edgar
Thomson, Thomas A. Scott Alfred L. Dennis and
David Solomon, Of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
were elected directors. This movement Is impor-
tant inasmuch il Is doubtless the initiation of
new policy with reference to certain immense
railway interests extending acrossRthe country.
