NEW 1Ohh, september lV.-IO-day'S
market was strong almost without va
Ration, but in an irregular degree in
| different parts OF the list. Realizing
sales at one time depressed the average
the extreme net decline being shown by
Louisville, rs: New Jersey Central, a.
Missouri Pacific. 5 3-s, and Northern Pa
cifc preferred, "a. In addition, there
were some sharp declines from the best
price before the close. The net gains
for the day all through the list are
the more notable in view of these facts
There was little news OF a sensational
character. beyond what was confirma-
tory OF facts already known. Much i'm
portance continues TO be attached to the
declaration OF the extra dividend by St.
Paul yesterday, and the good influence
Of this was manifest in the improved
buying for London account to-day. This
helped 10 keep the price OF st. Paul
arm all day, and advanced Union Pa
cihc 5-S. Burlington, although it closed
81 under the best, shows a net gain
II over a point. and Rock Island did
as well. Omaha advanced at one time
nearly points, and its allied line
Northwest 2 1-2. falling back somewhat
at the close. Burlngton's crossing the
par-line was greeted with enthusiasm
In the southwestern group Kansas and
Texas preferred led, with net gain
Of lis. In the Vanderbilt group
Cleveland, Chicago, Cincinnati, and st.
Louis gained 3-S and the others less
amounts, except Chesapeake and Ohio,
which continued exceptionally heavy.
The large earnings reported and in
prospect on the enormous movement OF
grain had to do with the strength OF
all these stocks. The Coalers all showed
weakness during most OF the day on
account OF the disappointing dulness
which continues in the anthracite trade.
This encouraged some short selling. and
rise OF 21-2 points in New Jersey
Central in the afternoon indicated the
distress of the shorts, and rallied the
other Coaers.
The heaviness in Louisville was pro-
badly due 10 a recurrence OF apprehen-
sion over yellow-fever possibilities.
