 The Vanderbilt dividends were the pivot upon which the stock market turned to day, and while the forenoon's business showed some weakness owing to bearish rumors the actual declaration of the dividends rallied the list effectively and buoyant tone was soon developed The strength displayed by Missouri Pacific and Western Union did much to resist the early pressure and aided the subsequent buoyancy. Canada Southern and Lake Shore specially weak for time, but afterward rallied sharply. Chicago Gas and Cotton Oil strong all the way out New England and Lackawanna vere special features in the upward movement the sharp squirt in the latter during the last few minutes being one of the days notable events. There were some sharp gains among the active and low-priced shares, Iowa Centrals and Colorado Coal being most conspicuous.
