The Post says: Business in stocks was
light this morning, the common eXple-
nation b. ing the wish of spectators to
see the presidents message before re-
suming activity. When the message
was published, trading became more
dull than ever-a natural consequence
enough, since the document, both III its
positive recommendations and il its
conservative tone was precisely what
had been expected. Such declines as
there were in today's prices took place
as rule before the publication OF the
message. and arose chiefly from mod
crate realizing sales. The afternoon
market was hrm throughout. II was
the reported decrease In st. Paul's
gross earnings which started the fore
noon selling, and the safes were partiei-
pated in by last week 5 speculative buy
ers and by London. In London's mar
ket the only development worth MOTTO
ing was the sudden drop in the call
money rate, promptly reflected by lower
sterling rates here and III Paris.
Chicago Gas and Distilling certificates
scored sharp advances.
AT present all the Wall street dabbiers
IN the stock believe implicitly that the
Disabling company always carries an
enormous manufactured surplus. and
that the more the trade is taxed the
Larger will be its profits.
