London was a purchaser on balance to-
day, particularly Of Northern Pacific and
Reading, and sold Union Pacific and
Louisville. There was considerable shift
ing OF comm's sion house accounts from

some rumored arrangement with the Glu-
cose Sugar Refining Company Az the

Sc. Louis minority interest were constru-
ed as favorable and resulted in a sharp
advance in the stock part of which was
lost on realizing. Gossip had Il that
Northern Pacific was in control of the
party In favor of larger dividends, and
that the stock was receiving poor support.

sertions that partial union OF the gas
interests on Manhattan Island had been

izations ana renewed bear aggression
brought about heaviness, but strength in
the speciaiies and the Southwestern group
steaded the market, which resumed It's
upward course. The grangers, after per-
iods Of inactivity, rose moderately. West
ern Union and the Reading issues, were
also lifted Profit-taking again encourage
ed a smart raid on values effecting numer-
Gus declines. General recoveries ensued I'm
the final dealings and the market closed
firm.
