"A 10 l per cent, Chicago Gas, the Graz
gers ana Manhattan being most promi-
nent, the upward movement being supu-
lated by the decline in sterling exchange,
which makes il tolerably certain that no
gold will be shipped this week. After the
publication of the St. Paul statement,
nVely selling movement in Northwestern
set in, which carried the stock down from
10lh TO 9S7s. The reason assigned for the
weakness of the stock was the report that
reduction in the dividend was contem-
plated. This dividend is not due until the
end of the year, and nothing ofhcial can
be obtained about the matter. There was
plenty of stock for sale, however, fully
10000 shares having come out on the
way down. Certificates in the names of
prominent bull house were delivered. The
ease with which the stock yielded to pres

creating more than the usual amount of
trouble, and the meetings called for to-
morrow and Friday will be closely
watched. American Sugar was quite
feature. It opened steady at S4l2dS4A,
S49s at the close, when the general list
weakened. The early break was due to
the weak condition of the market for re
fined but at the decline, lower Wall street
interests were buyers.
