Stocks-Some animation was given
to the closing dealings in the stock
market to-day by the conflicting move
ments of prices engendered by the up
ward squirt in Union Pacific and the
realizing in Sugar. The break in Sugar
proved the more effective in its infiu-
ence and the market closed weak at
about the low level of the day, after
having shown considerable gains in
many stocks at an earlier period. The
trading was dull and continued early
in professional pans. The early
strength was reflected to some extent
from the foreign stock markets which
chowed decided relief over the reliable
tenor of the news of the safety of the
ENJOYS in Pekin. The small commit
Inents on the bear side put out yes
terday were closed up, helping the rise.
4 number of statements of railroad
net earnings for June published over
night were factors of strength. This
was notably true of the Pennsylvania
report, on account of the amount of
territory covered by it's lines and the
exceedingly varied character of its traf-
fic, which makes its statements valued
as accurate reflections OF general con-
ditions in the railroad world. The
stock of the company advanced 112 I'M
der this influence and the price was
well held through the later vieissi-
tuGes of the market, affording a rather
striking contract to the Indifference
with which June reports of some other
railroads were received. The large net
increase shown by the Atchison sys-
TEN did not avail to hold the stock, and
Burlington, after a sharp fraction, fell
below last nights level on realizing
when its statement appeared. The 2
pc recent semi-annnal dividend on I'm
ion Pacific had been counted upon with
certainty, on account of the character
OF the promises made. The dividend
action was Immediately followed by
large and aggressive buying for inside
interests, which carried the stock up
rs. This strength was ineffective in
pulling up the rest of the list of which
the high level of the morning served to
renew yesterdays realizing movement.
Sugar fell abruptly to 1904, an extreme
decline OF 4, and American Tobacco
suddenly dropped points in SYM
patty, Metropolitan showed marked
Weakness, and the whole list fell to the
lowest, Union Pacific yielding a frac-
tion. There was some evidence of a
speculative contest between the
friends of Union Pacific and Baltimore
& Ohio, on account of the attempts on
the part of the bulls, Union Pacific and
bears on B. & o. to draw unfavorable
comparisons between the price of I'm
ion Pacific, with dividends declared at
the rate of per cent, and B. & O. with
dividend action yet to be taken.
Brooklyn Transit continued rather ac-
tive to-day, but the movement was not
wide and the stock saves a fractional
net gain. There was a slightly firmer
tone to sterling exchange to-day, in
spite of a shading of London discount
rates. The question of gold exports
this week remains undecided with to-
days conditions against the probable
ity.
The bond market was firmer to-day,
but very dull. Total sales par value,
