Bradstreet's financial review tomorrow
will say:
Although the volume of transactions a;
the stock exchange this week suffered by
comparison with recent ones. there was in
the main a renewed exhibition of buIlish
speculation, which. however. had many
signs Of = manipuiative origin. The an
thractte coal stocks were the chief lea
ture and the objects OF principal activity
the part of the large interests and
while some OF the induslrials and special
ties We're prominent in the trading the
standard railroad stocks seemed to be
comparatively neglected. Indeed. while
realizing sales became more abundant as
the week drew TO its close. the process
was somewhat accelerated on Thursday by
the fact that the St. Paul directors on
that day made no change In the half year
~ dividend rate of 2i2 per cent. and that
indications were considered unfavorable TO
any increase of the 1ia per cent. semi-an.
nual rate on Union Pacific preferred. 1t
might be observed. however. that on
Wednesday last the absence of any change
III the American Sugar Company's dvi-
dend, the directors declaring the usual 3
per cent. on the quarter on the COM
mon stock. temporarily postponed the
tendency 10 liquidate and in the opinion
OF the street at large. checked a DISPOSE
ton on the part OF the industrials stocks
to break. which 1t was expected would
ensue had the sugar dividend been passed
or even reduced. AS already indicated
professional leadership was responsible for
N'e 14'pte i.ipVi tant movements In the list
ana though there were reports that the
sharp upward squirt in the coal stocks was
encouraged by powerful inside interests
who based their action on the pending
announcement of important deals in con-
nection with the anthracite coal and the
corporations engaged In it, there was am
pie ground on which to form the con-
ciusion that opera tons by manipulatiye
operators We're even more effective The
part which the public. acting through
commission houses. has PLAYED in the
movement has been one of decreased i'm
portance, Judging from the activity OF
sucn interests, though there Is no appar-
eht disposition to liquidation and profit
taxing sales are conducted so leisurelv
that the bear traders met with compara-
.Veiy little success in hammcring prices.
I'ondonS interest in our market has been
confined To few spec.alties.
