the lndustrials and the specialties being
prominent Subsequently, values moved
alternately down and up, leaving the net
changes mixed with losses averaging
point in prominent railways, accompanied
by some sensational advances among the
specialdes.
The dispatch from the American naval
commander In the Far East requesting
the presence of a battleship for political
reasons, was considered possible of an
unfavorable Interpretation. but the rout
of body of Fillpinos by the American
army, in measure offset the advices.

price ran off. and closed at net gain of
~.
There was some very violent advances
among the local specialties, the extreme
rise in the case of Third Avenue, being
IA; Consolidate Gas, 1917; Brooklyn Union
Gas S1a; and 2 points in Metropolitan.
The highly favorable condition reported
in The iron and steel Industries and init
nations that the relations of the leading
interests would be closer, led to an ex-
IRENE advance of 51s in American Steel
with which Federal Steel sympathized, to-
the extent of 33s, its extreme rise.
The feature OF to-day's bond trading was
The active inquiry for San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass As, which improved points.
