New York, Jan. 2S.-Speculation was ex-
| tremely dull again to-day at the Stock
| Exchange and, in a majority of instances,
| the fluctuations were trihing. The only
| wide changes were in a few of the special
| ties, some of which advanced while others
! declined. The trading, however was so
| small that no special significance was at
! tached to any of the movements. The
| transactions aggregated only 1856 shares,
| OF which Il 200 were American Sugar Re-
! 1ining. No other stock figured for as much
AeIanr ~
lions from London came fractionaily high
er at the opening did not authorize the
! market to make any response owing to the
| continued lack of orders for outside ac-
! count.
Prices yielded hG1z, but the losses were
| soon recovered, only to be followed by
| another decline which left the leading
! stocks fractionally below last nights
| final. The declaration of the long expected
2 per cent dividend by the ST. Paul and
! Omaha road led to no activity in that
stock and it closed with a net gain of only
! Is per cent. Northern Pacific preferred
| certificates were noticeably strong and adj
vanced from 1891 to So. a well-known
| broadway house with Washington con-
nections being a prominent buyer. Hook
| ing Valley advanced points early on the
| announcement that the company had pro-
| vided for the interest and that the Blum
! nous coal roads had settled their trou-
| bles. 1t is understood that the new agree
ment will go into effect at once and that
| the roads will get better rates than for
| some time past. Manhattan was sold
| down 15s to 1913. on a vague rumor that
| the company had decided on a new issue
| of bonds, but there was partial recovery
on the denial of the story. Lackawanna
| rose IA, and later lost the improvement.
| Lake Shore declined point. Manitoba, on
the other hand, jumped 3.Speculation closed
rather weak in tone. While the stock mar
| ket was sluggish. commission houses re-
! port a good inquiry for investment bonds.
| Government bonds are notably strong as
| a result of the extreme ease in money and
| the tours of 1925, to-day scored the high
| est prices for a long time past. Net
! changes in stocks show declines of MnlM
per cent. Manhattan leading. Northern Pa
| cific preferred gained 1h, and Hooking
! Valley ~ per cent. The general bond mar
ket was steady. transactions footed up 81
! $4,000.
