Tobacco had net decline yesterday of
four points, making the total for the last
two days thirteen points. Tobacco open
ed yesterday nearly two points lower than
the close on Monday, and dropped dur
ing the first hour and a half of the day to
13s 1-2. Later there was an advance of
a point and a half to the closing price.
This sensational decline in Tobacco at
tracted the attention of the market large
Iy during the day, and influenced the re-
mainder of the trading. There was much
liquidation of long stocks and a general
disposition to believe that the Tobacco
situation is not as favorable as has been
pictured by the friends of the company.
One explanation made Of the decline is
that the stock is being manipulated to a
lower figure in order that it may be pur-
chased largely by the insiders prior to the
announcement formally that the Tobacco
combination has been made. There is
much doubt, however, in the average
traders mind if the deal has really gone
through or if it ever will.
The Pacific securities, although in bet
ter shape than most of the market were
weak towards the close, and the subject
of considerable realizing sales. 1t is said
that Northern Pacific was sold by large
Western interest, not directly connected
with the property, which has done con-
siderable speculation on both sides of the
market during the advance of the Pacific
issues. Despite the decline in Northern
Pacific preferred from rs 1-2 to 70 rs, and
of the common from al to 40, II is still
confidently predicted by friends of the
company that the magnificent earnings OF
the road will quickly assert their influence
on prices and force them to advance. II
is believed by many that Northern Pacific
common is cheap anywhere in the sos.
