New York, Nov. T-Stocks were quiet
and very irregular to-day. Operators gen.
erallv were disposed to hesitate until the
presidents message is sent in to congress
and commission houses complained of
lack of orders. Room traders were bullish
and bearish by fits and starts, but their
operations were on a much smaller scale
than of late In the early dealings, the ten
dency was downward on account of lower
cables from London, the general expecta-
tion that the st. Paul and Burlington and
Quincy statements now due will be unfa-
vorable and an advance of half cent in
the posted rates of sterling exchange to
S4S4 and S4.S715. The Industrial group scor-
solIdated Gas dropped 31a to 1914. The d.
rectors at their meeting to-day declared
the usual quarterly dividend of 2 per cent.
This was a disappointment as the declara-
ton of an extra 10 per cent. had been
looked for in some quarters. The mana
gers, according to official statements did
not consider the question of consolidating
with the other local companies. This was
also a disappointment and led to liquida-
tons. Laclede Gas common broke Az per
cent. to "a and the preferred ~ to rs. Ru-
mors of a forthcoming unfavorable decis-
ION by the United States supreme court
had an adverse influence on these stocks.
In the inactive issues, Long Island which
has been heavy of late dropped 81 to 5fl5.
Toward the close, st. Paul and Omaha ran
up 90 to 461a on talk of dividend of IL
ner cent This was not generally credited,
however. in usually we'll informed quar-
ters This stock was also benefited by the
favorable statement for october. For the
month named the road earned SLIT 261, an
increase of $40, 16S. The rise quoted had
strengthening effect on the market in the
late dealings and the closing, while quiet,
was firm A feature of the day was the
enormous supply of money offering on call.
