demonstrated that stocks are in strong hands
and that owners intend to hold them for ma

trading was entirely for the account of the board
room traders, who were scalpiug for small
under conditions which have always
been attended by declines, shows conclusiYely
that securities are not held in the street on
margins. The features of the day were very few,
and nothing in the news Of the day seemed to
have any effect whatever, although rumoTs
were used to cover up operations which had
their beginning and end in the board room.
Union Pacific was the stock which received the
most attention, and II quite active at adj
vanced prices, the Improvement being accompa-
MED by vague ruInors OF something of a favor
able nature to come out in the next few days.
