NEW YORK MINING STOCKS.
WALL STREET GOSSIP.

New York stock gossip reported by H. Hol-
bert & Son, bankers and brokers, s4l
Bank building, st. Paul:
Post & Flagg wires u.s. "a determined eff
fort was made al day to make the market
sell down, by the big professional operators
stocks and who are anxious to buy them
back at profit. U. P. pfd was the particular
point of attack On account of rumor that
the dividend on that stock would be at rate
of per cent per annum instead of 4 per
cent as had been expected. When one con-
siders amount of long stock that has been
sold IN last two days the impression left is
that the market is marvelousiy strong and
we think it reasonable the same operators
will buy their stocks back at higher level as
was the case last summer several times when
the talent thought the market high enough
and consequently sold. London did not do
great deal today, being inclined to sell the
market when strong"
