WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

",
The principal activity in speculation to-day was
in the unlisted department. In the railway sha re
market the announcement Of traffic agreement
between the Rock Island and Atchison companies
strengthened the price Of their stocks and weak.
cned Union Pacific and It's auxiliary stocks, be-
cause the alliance was well understood TO be de-
fensiyc against the recent combination between
the Union Pacific and Northwestern railways.
The last named stock not affected, because
il is held too closely TO be disturbed by ordinary
Developments The final loss in Union Pacific was
Insignificant for the stock rallied toward the
close, possibly because of rumors that no agree
ment had been made, but probably because the
fact would hardly excuse considerable decline.
The importance OF this and other traffic alliances
recently made has been exaggerated evidently in
the interest of stock speculation. The combina-
tons will hardly prevent the extension Of tho
separate systems whenever the growth OF the
country shall be thought to justify "A renewal of
railway building unless the actual control OF the
properties is secured before that time by one or
the other parties TO the agreement. Other traffic
alliances ore likely to be made, but all develop
ments of this kind will be unimportant in their
effect on Western railway rates. They would aid
in maintain ng them in times OF peace and in
breaking them when traffic is ight. The fuctua-
tons In the stocks directly affected by
inc mtest agreement must he consld,
cfeu therefore, the simple results OF profess onal
trading. The rest of the railway share list was
dub within narrow limits. The Northern Pacific
and Oregon stocks were exceptionally strong. the
coal shares firm at some recoyeres. and ST. Paul
and Western Union rather weak. OF the special.
ties, wheeling and Lake Erie preferred fell over
pcr cent on rumors OF issue OF preferred
stock which were denied last week, and Rich
mond Terminal lost 81 per cent apparently for
no better reason than that the stock had recently
advanced.
The sharp turn in the course Of the trust stocks
was the prominent feature of the market. Sugar
RelncricS stock was extremely active under per.
sistent buying for the long account. and Cotton
Oil certificates advanced sharply in the afternoon
on the very probable success of the reOrganiza-
ton scheme. Both closed at about their highest
figures with gains of ] IL per cent or more,
Lead Trust was active, but its fluctuations were
narrow, and il closed virtually unchanged. In
general the closing was quiet and firm. and the
final advances were more significant than the
declines.
THE DAY IN TIE BOND MARKET.
The Treasury bought $4,000 Of II per cents
at % 81 and S2j7, 200 per cents at l27. At
the Stock Exchange there was small sale of the
last named class at the Government price. The
quotations were nominal and unchanged.
