division there was a decided weakness,
but others showed q mort gratifying !
strength on dull business, and at the |
close losses are few in number, while /
great majority of the stock dealt In are |
higher with one or two !
material advances as a result OF the ,
DAVIS operations. Some weakness Is
still in Illinois central, but outside of
that strong, and in sugar refiners the
nasket showed strong uudertone, aud
more resistance to the bearish attacks Is
developed from dav to day.
Could bullish utterances were instru-
mental in imparting considerable
strength to Union Pacific. Louisville
auj Nashville, ST. Paul and Reading
we're the most active. but neither showed
snv feature of interest. Southern Pa
life Is up per cent, and Jersey Gen.
raj rose 21a on light transactions toward

We and firm at about the best figures.
