Coal and Iron, although the full gains
were not maintained. The railways
and some other standard stocks saggeu
slightly for lack of attention. On the
announcement that dividend of 112
per cent had been declared on Union
Pacific preferred, the stock eased, it
having been previously falsely rumored
on the board that the disbursement was
2 per cent. In the early dealings Lon
don was the principal seller, while in
the afternoon some selling appeared for
both accounts on progno3tication5 that
there would be another heavy decrease
in the surplus reserve in tomorrow
bank statement, but prophecies as to
the bank statement based On the known
data of Friday had often OF late proved
misleading. The action of the days
market seemed to show that the spec
ialties were pre-eminently in favor
with the professional element. The
early dealings were featured by an al
most entire concentration OF interests
into the higher priced stocks, which
moved in a sensational manner. The
standard stocks trailed along somewhat
automatically but soon developed a
yielding tendency. In the late session
interest shifted into the low priceQ
s.ecialties which had not moved pro-
portionately with the rise in the indus
trial division in the morning. The las
L. fo1fnyr-iTcr tho IIniNn po-
cifc announcement was of an eXcep-
tionally uninteresting character, scarce
~ any interest being evidenced IN the
movement Of prices. The Closing was
dull and steady.
