that their policy in the future would be
to return to a per cent. basis on the
New York Central, while all extra divi
dend of per cent. was declared on Lake
Shore, and a dividend on the Cleye-
land, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indian
apolis was declared. This, however, was

the day, and it soon became evident that
it had been discounted as usual, although
on any other kind of market its effect
might have bsen pronounced. The market
was narrow, and dealings for the most
part were confined to the actions of the
professionals, who sesawed the price up
and down TO their hearts content. The
market closed fairly active and heavy at
but little better than the lowest figures.

evening.
