terday in the Northern Pacific stocks,
especially the preferred, which rose
15s by the close of the day. Metropoli-
tan Street Railway and the Rubber
stocks also displayed strength, all gain
ing over point. Consolidated Gas was
notably weak all day in the doubt
which is persistently kept alive concern
ing the prospects of the merging Of local
gas companies. 1t showed an extreme
decline of 61a points, but recovered
part Of this. Brooklyn Union Gas lost
a point in sympathy. The stocks Of the
American Spirits Company showed ex-
IRENE weakness on the reports of the
demoralized condition OF the trade.
The coalers also inclined to weakness,
though they showed some recovery from
the lowest. There was some selling Of
Union Pacific, probably induced by the
call for the payment of the third 8 per
cent assessment tomorrow, but the
decline did not exceed Y cent, and was
recovered before the close. Leather,
preferred was weak and lost over point
on disappointment that the dividend as
declared, was limited to one per cent.
There was some little selling of St.
Paul and Northern Pacific, preferred,
for London account, but without per-
ceptible effect on this market. A feature
of the day was a further rise Of Is in
the actual rates for sterling exchange.
This is in force of a continued very
heavy outward movement Of merchan-
