eve look said prominent broker, sfor a
dull and depressing market for week or
two" The Vanderbilt houses are still divided
| in opinion, some predicting much lower prices
| while others advise the purchase of their
favorites. The pool in Chicago s. Northwest
ern acquired considerable stock yesterday.
The German is reported bullish again on Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul. The fact that
exchange on London was posted yesterday at
within a fraction of the point at which gold
shipments would be profitable, created con-
siderable uneasness. Some parties, however
claimed that sterling was being manipulated
somewhere for effect on the stock markets.
The advocates of this idea claimed that while
the posted rates of exchange were high enough
to warrant gold shipments, it was difficult to
sell sterling at the lower actual business rate.
The foreign situation causes an unsettled feel
ing.
