and Notes.

The Wall street market was irreg-
ular, yesterday, with early loss and
later rally, net changes for the day
being few
Industrial and traction specialtIes
led in strength. In Boston continued
bear attack against Dominion Coal de-
pressed it 8, to SO IL, while another
drive was made against United States
Oil, price receding 8. to A, with IA
rally. Both of these stocks were active,
5000 shares of Coal and $500 shares of
Oil changing hands in the morning,
while Federal Steel maintained prom
inence, contributing over 1000 shares
to the forenoon total. Arnold also was
active, losing l Is, to IA "a, but ral-
lying to 16 and Bonanza added over
1000 shares, rising 9-S, to 8 9-4, react
ing to 8 IA. A rise from 95 TO SO "a
in Michigan Telephone was a feature
on good buying. Sugar of course WIS
active, and Boston did a fair business
in c., B. & Q. and in Atchison pre-
ferred. A drop of l Is, to 80, was re-
corded in Centennial, and White Knob
Teappeared, falling from IA to II. Wash
ington mining was up SIS at 5-S,
some 1000 shares changing hands in
morning dealings. Maine Central was
up 4. at 40; Central Massachusetts OFF
IL, at 10 IL; Boston and Maine rose
3, to 100. This last mentioned advance,
to within 81 of this years highest price,
hardly looks as if the attempts against
the Names control of the Central Mas
sachusetts were taken seriously.
Names interests do not show much
concern over the current talk of llu-
cation. Trimountain Mining was up
5-S, at II IS; Parrot rose ! IA, to
"a ga, receding to SO IL and ra!lying
to "a; Cochiti was up IL, at 1S IL;
Lamson Store Service off 2, at 49,
Yesterdays weakness brought some
selling orders to the commission houses
this morning, and the tone was heavy
in a part of the list at the opening.
Some of the specialties showed sharp
losses. Metropolitan dropping and the
American smelling stocks to 2. Sugar
was off 1-2 and Steel & Wire a point.
A number of the steel stocks showed
evidences of strength, Federal steel
rising a fraction. Some of the hi5h-
uriced specialties moved sharply up
ward in the first hour, but the weak
ness in American Smelling, Steel "
Wire, Anaconda Mining and some OF
the railways, proved an effective drFg
on the market and general realizing
set in which was very notable IN the
New York city stocks, which had risen
early The grangers and southwestern
also lost substantially. Values contn :
Ced to sag downward towards noon and
new points of weakness appeared. Con-
tinental Tobacco and Pan Handle werc
sold vigorously. Sugar went of to
14f ga and rallied Il. Business be-
came very dull, but this did not pre-
vent the shading of prices.
Sugar recovered all the earlier de-
cline after noon, and there was Wig
orous advance in Brooklyn Transit
TedaraI steel and Manhattan There
was a fractional response in the gen
eraI list, but no animation was awako
ened. Baltimore & Ohio dropped l II

CONTINUED slow, with an irregular ten
dency, and showed little positive fea-
ture in the late trading.
