THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

A good demand from the short interest in yes
terday's market did not cause important ad-
Eances in stock values The inquiry from the
shorts was accompanied by further commission
house liquidation and in consequence bear trad
ers had difficulty in reducing their commit
ments without sending prices materially higher
In some stocks fair net gains were made. but
price changes We're not generally heavy The
speculative community showed no inclination to
forsake the bear side OF the market while senti-
-nent was not improved despite the reassuring
outlook in all lines of trade. Wall Street has
made UP its mind TO be depressed, and while in
this condition Il Will believe in shadows and see
hobgoblins in every corner. And II will receive
as facts the fiction that is telegraphed from the
West and other parts Of the country regarding
the crops, industry and hard luck stories In gem
eral. Already the news bureaus are receiving
gloomy tales Of the coming of the chinch bug
the weevi, the army worm, the webworm and
various other farm product eating bugs and
worms that worry Wall Street more than they
do the agricultural community. Wall Street sees
farm destroying insects In the West investment
selling in the East, trade paralysis in the North,
East, South and West and gloom everywhere.
Wall Street has a wonderful vision.
Sugar Refining stock furnished the chief weak
feature In yesterdays dealings. This erratic
and much manipulated stock advanced at the
opening and broke several points before u
O'Clock on comparatively heavy dealings Sugar
Refining seldom moves in response to legitimate
conditions. and its fluctuations cannot be taken
as significant of influences affecting the value of
securities in general. 1t may properly be called
thimblerigged stock, and such it should be
left alone by operators who do not care for blind
pool operations. American Tobacco stock is also
moving under the influence of manipulation and,
like Sugar Refining. furnishes excellent oppor-
tunities for people who wish to lose their money
Manipulation may be looked for in a market
bare Of genuine support. The current market
affords many chances for manipulators, espe-
cially on the bear side of speculation. The rail-
generally firm in yesterdays dealings but the
demand almost entirely from the shorts.
The general course of values one of great
irregularity. Baltimore and Ohio issues were
weak under liquidation, while the local traction
shares with the exception of Brooklyn Rapid
Transit, suffered from the Burling-
ton and Missouri Pacific in fair demand
and good buying reported in Peoples Gas
The steel stocks showed decided tendency
until the late trading, when they developed de-
cided weakness. The market closed dull and
heavy.

WESTERN UNIONS DECLINE.

A large amount of Western Union stock has been
sold in the last few days, and bear traders have
been active in forcing the price down. 1t has been
ported, but not generally believed. that the dvi-
Gend will be reduced. although 1t is said that
within the last week director of the company
assured a stockholder that change would be
made in the dividend rate. The company has not
had much Of a margin beyond Its dividend in the
last few years. and the current market price Of
the stock suggests that. measured in Wall Street
opinion It Is not entitled its actual worth
to sell on level with 3 per cent securities. A
reduction in the dividend TO per cent ought not
to carry the price lower. at Its current level on
a per cent basis the investment yield would be
