BILE to imitation aud the fact that tie West
ern Union directors did not declare the ex-
pected dividend. The events of TODAY in
Wall street, taken altogether, were more
important than for a long time past. The
sudden revival in speculation took many BY
surprise, and bat few were prepared for
such violent fluctuations. The directors of
the Union Pacific railroad have issued a
circular announcing that they have author
lied their Treasurer to offer new sinking
fund bonds in exchange for incomes which
mature Sept. l, at the rate of six new bonds
for five Of incomes. These new sinking
fund bonds are each for $1,000 gold coin,

ally March and Sept. LIST. The Union
Trust Company of New York are trustees
for this mortgage, which becomes first
