'esterday presented

The stock market yesterday presented
few new features and was on the whole
uninteresting and unimportant Prices
1uctuated within narrow limits and showed
small declines at the close In nearly all
stocks. The opening was at a somewhat
lower level and there was heavy realizing
when il was seen that there was no dis
position to advance prices. rally at I
O'Clock carried prices up a point or less,
but in the last hour there was selling
again and still lower range OF prices.
Money WIS held at "A high rate all day and
toward the close was marked up TO 10 per
cent at one time. This had a very de-
pressing effect or the market though
financial people in general deprecate the
possibility that permanent high rate
can be maintained. The promise for to-
day in the close was vague. somewhat
lower opening is expected in sympathy
with the weakness yesterday. but perhaps
the general belief is more bullish than
otherwise for the course of the market
after the opening. The Flower crowd was
not a prominent factor in the dealings
yesterday If it bought any stock, and il
is certain that the advance will not come
until Mr.. Flower shows disposition to
help It along. This gentleman has come
TO be more and more a power in the
market during the movement and IL may
almost be said his pleasure is waited by
professionals and the public alike as to
buying campaigns.
There were few exceptions to the gem
eral rule of dullness and declining prices.
Two stocks. Rubber and American Cotton
Oil, We're taken up by the manpulators
and pushed up two points each, despite
the general weakness, and although both
declined in the afternoon they closed with
net gains. No particular reason was
ascrbed for the movements which have
been expected TO occur at any time.
Cotton oil has been dull for many weeks,
with almost no transactions, but hints
have been circulated that the stock would
be advanced. This company is earning
more than II ever did before. andg will
probably pay more dividends this year.
II will be remembered that a 3 per cent

largely, but made no new high records and
seemed inclined TO sag during the greater
part OF the day. Federal Steel common and
preferred, Brooklyn Rapid Transit, Atch-

be included in this summary. There was
at all times fairly good buying of the Fed

that they will be taken up by the leaders
as soon as the market regains its fun tone
