Provisions were active with large

in splendid condition a record should be
made for the distance.
The other Princeton men who will ap-
pear are Captain Cregan, in the SS0-yard
and two-mile run. Carroll in the high
lump. and Hutchinson in the hurdles This
is the largest team that the Orange and
Black has sent out this year and as all
men are champions at their distance ii is
regarded as another instance of the friendly
relations existing between Princeton and
Georgetown.

A Dividend on Union Pacific Common
Has Little Influence on Trading

African wsr-Western Union Bonds

NEW YORK, Feb. s-The stock market
opened active and fairly strong. hut after
the first hour the trading fell away in vol
ume and the price movements were irreg-
ular and uncertain. Prior to the declara-
ton of the initial dividend of IL per
cent on Union Pacific common the uncer-
tainty in that regard served to restrict
trading TO some extent. or at least ii was
offered as an excuse for inaction. The
market showed little improvement, how
ever, In any respect, upon the announce
ment of the dividend. London again ex-
erted favorable influence in the market,
both furnishing a higher range OF prices
for American stocks and buying literally
here but the local dealings reflected
heavy profit realizing sales. which ef-
fectually counterbalanced the continued
buying of general commission houses.
There was little news of general impor-
lance. nor were there any material
changes in the fur lamental conditions
bearing upon the market. Only languld

ress of hostilities in South Africa. al

vances made there and for the foreign
buying in this market No change was
made today In the Bank OF England's rate
OF discount.
Aside from the announcement of the
first dividend on Union Pacific common. the
most important matter bearing upon any
particular security was the official state
ment regarding the issue OF s2o,0oo.ooo
bonds by the Western Union Telegraph
Company. The latter announcement was
followed by a severe decline In Western
Union stock, as IL came quite uDexpect-
eddy. The Western Union company has
maturing at early dates some 81 GOO, 900 of
and per cent bonds, which are to be
extended through the new issue at a
much lower rate of interest, and TO that
extent at least the matter should not be
a cause OF uneasiness TO the stockholders.
The proceeds OF the remainder OF the issue
are to be applied TO a further necessary
extension OF the company's lines.
Local traction issues did not appear TO

contractor for the underground railroad

opment of the general reaction. As noted.
the recessions in prices were not attrib-
utable TO any material developments with

TO reflect altogether technical market con-

Rumors that the Subsidy bill will fail this

ing fund was sI17.706. an increase OF

December 81 was s62s,501. a decrease OF
s2G5. 400. The increase for December is
all that was promised. II shows that the
business OF the company is in most
prosperous condition. The surplus FOR the

is more than sufficient to pay the fu!l
dividend OF 3 per cent, and the surplus
for December is at the rate Of more than
I per cent.

The traction securities were somewhat
disappointing yesterday. as il had been
general impression that Metropolitan and
perhaps others of the group would make
good advances. Metropolitan went as high
as ISL early in the day. but after this
squirt was sold of and closed at las S-S.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit sold as low as
721-2 and closed at 20. Manhattan sold
off to 81 H. closing at the bottom. and
Third Avenue was weak. making net de-
cline of several points. There was talk OF
an increase in the dividend rate of the
Metropolitan. which found favor with
many on account of the excellent earn
ins statement published recently. The
stock of company that has such an i'm
mense field as this, and operates for so per
cent or less, is not good one TO sell
short after a decline OF hundred points.
But a reason even better than this for
present bullishness regarding this stock,
and the other fractions as well, lies
in the certainty that powerful interests
are obtaining control OF all the companies
for the purpose Of operating them In har-
mony if not as one concern. There have
been denials and doubts and counter sug-
gestions without number, but people who
think they know say that there can be no
question as to this.
