although at intervals there were periods
of hesitancy, the result of profit taking.

ing and an absurd story of a dissolution
that the syndicate has practically accom-
plished it's work and that under the terms
of the contract it win go out of existence
| on April ], was ignored by the originat-
ors of the rumor. The great stregth of
the Vanderbilt group was the most en-
couraging feature of the market from
