Il marked decrease from the recent
average, the large proportion absorbed
by these specialties formed Il Significant
commentary upon the condition INTO
which the market has fallen.
After the opening weakness, due to
sympathy with London and some other
foreign exchanges, had been overcome,
it looked as though the strength radiat-
ing from the grangeTs had prevailed
in the market, but the increasing weak
ness of Sugar coupled with a fall in the
prices of local New York specialitics in

driving prices below last nights level.
The radical utterances made in the
course of the debate precipitated i'll the
Senate on the Maine disaster also en-
gendcred distrust in the minds of spccu-
lators and prompted liquidation. Rusi-
ness on the decline was by far the most
animated of any during the day. Gossip
was rife as to the probable action of the
st. Paul directors on the dividend rate,
the rlumors all pointing to an increase.
The absorption of This stock was credi-
ted to a powerful financial interest,
which was said to be selling out its
holdings of Sugar at the same time.
London supplied st. Paul stock freely
and sold other international stocks here.
Rock Island responded to the action
of the directors in calling the debenture
and extension bonds, thus assuring the
stock the benefit of an early reduction
of fixed charges. The Union Pacific

on rum0rs that the reorganization in
prospect would bear easily on them.
