X New York, Feb. 23.-The markets for
securities showed an improving ten
dency to-day SO far as the course Of
prices was concerned, but the paueity Of
business deprived the advance Of a
good deal Of the significance which
might have been attached to it had the
transactions reached even normal pro-

aggregated less than 1000 shares. At

clared a dividend Of 1 per cent The
