there were fractional declines, in when
Western Union, Union Pacific, Missouri

promiuent. Before ii o'clock renewed
strength was again infused into dealings.
in which New York Central, Lake Shore

Union Pacific IN the meantime, which
opeped higher and declined / to 744, wa
only able to recover Its early loss, while
Western Union, Northwestern and st. Paul
were compa. stively steady with gain
of small fractions. Early in the after
noon the strongest stocks lost q
considerable portion of the advances, and
| the whole market drifted. into greater dull
Mesa and this continued without material
changes until the close of the board. No
table exceptions were New Jersey Central
which was strong all day, opening ct an sd
vance of 4 to 37s, from which It steadily
rose to 39i, and closed at 80, gan Of At,

accompanied by statement that strong
pool had been formed to put up the prices.

Gullness was attributed in part to the fact
hat trading in railroad bonds was again
confined. with few exceptions, to dealings IN
small amounts, and principally to some Of
