CHARACTER OF TRADING.

There were few active features. and trading was
almost wholly professional Union Pacinc anu
Chesapeake and Ohio were taken by good class
Of buyers: also Federal Steel, American Linseed
issues and Northern Pacific. The ticker reflected
no buying incident to the Pennsylvania-Baltimore
story which has now developed into a rate deal
rather than a consolidation or absorption f. w.
Savln & Co. large buyers OF Union Pacihc
common and Housman brokers bought Chesapeake
and Ohio Bear attacks on Brooklyn Rapid Transit
did not bring out much stock, but they depressed
the price over one point. Colorado Fuel and Iron
was strong buying by II. Content & Co In
United States Leather the only feature was the
borrowing OF 10000 shares by prominent firm
Federal Steel was strong the announcement that
the directors will declare per cent dividend on
the preferred stock on December r. making the
full per cent TO which the preferred stock Is en-
titled, and leaving the management in position 20
begin dividend payments on the common stock at
the beginning Of the new year London traded on
both sides Of the account with sales and pur-
chases about evenly distributed. Continental To-
bacco was under the influence of manipulation, and
closed a net loss. In the early dealings Iennes
see Coal and Iron rose two points but near the
close broke abruptly Some Of the buyers and sell
