any real business. The only source from

taken by foreign houses. but some selling,
mostly OF Southern Pacific, was noted IN
the foreign business
The Pacific shares yielded easily TO a plen-

houses Were Inclined to tie view that the
long-delayed reaction had come from in
side liquidation. On merit alone this group
should be first to recover from the preseut
setback.
The buying of Missouri Pacific. which has
been commented upon for several days. WAS
a feature of the forenoons market. one
house is believed to have purchased 5000
shares during the day.
This buying, coupled with liberal T,tr-
chases on previous DAYS, has been various-
ly explained, dividend prospects and q
change in control being alternately used in
this connection. The former prospect is
generally believed to be the more plausible.
Inc steel STOCKS were weak under

skillful manipulation and the covering or

The sudden demand for the traction is
sues has no logical explanation: the desire
of the large interest to see higher prices
served the purpose of newly discovered
merit. The underwriting of the bonds nee
esSary to relieve Third Avenue was an
nounced during the day.
The clique in Baltimore and Ohio issues
made the market active for those issues for
time by spirited bidding in the presence
OF only moderate offerings. Having had

The net result of today's stock trading WAS
decidedly mixed, owing to the irregular

on the Quay case. said that among the ar
zumeurs against that construction of the

legislature might fail to elect in order
that tn. the governor might appoint. He
did rot think there was much practical
f,rcr in the argument. He thought there
much more force in the argument
that the legislature might fail to elect by
r~aSnn OF a faction which desired that the
election might go over to the next legisla-
tire in the hope that its politics become
changed as to enable the new legislature
