SrocNs-There was an irreguiarity about
the dealings on the Stock Exchange to-day
that demonstrated that there are distinct
groups Of traders operating without con-
cert OF action in the several speclaltles
which are most active in the transactions.
In many instances prices were moving up
in one pool while in another they were
receding. The buying for London account
was heavier than for many weeks and
there was an activity among the houses
with European connections which
gave evidence of an increased inquiry from
abroad for American securities and led to
a belief that the financial and political dis
turbarceS in Europe would be reflected in
heavy investments in the better classes Of
railway shares and mortgages in this
financial centre One or the notable
features of the speculation was the strength
developed Dv Union Pacific. based on the
reorganization plans and the report that
Receiver Mink would lend his assistance
thereto. At the opening Dlstllllpg
broke and sank rapidly. A reaction fol-
lowed which sent prices up higher than
the opening. In the general market one OF
the most important moves was drive
against Chicago. Burlington aud Quincy,
due to reports Of bad November state
ment. 1t declined s per cent, but re-
covered 81 before the close. The dealings
became unsettled very soon, and continued
irregular during the day, with frequent
fluctuations between strength and
weakness. In the last halt
hour the temper Of speculation underwent
g marked change and there was sharp
upward turn, which restored values 10
within a fraction Of the best figures Of the
morning in many cases and beyond in
others, some shares, however, sharing only
slightly in the advance compared with
Wednesdays closing sales. Sales POI, 200
