While prices held fairly well yesterday
and fluctuations were narrow, it was said
by many careful readers of the market Il at
heavy realizing was noticeable, and that
the real aspect of the market was lass
promising than at any time heretofore this
week. The lookedfor recession, after the
professional advance, has not yet material
lied. II may not come this week. But
there is an extreme probability that it will,
that it may begin today. The professionals
have made quite a lively boom on the
strength of Wall Streets alleged belief that
Mckinley is sure of reelection. At times
IL has even seemed to many that there vas
more than professional market In reali-
ty there have been few if any indications
OF any such broadening of speculation.
Professional bcoms frequently have the
aspect, for short time, of better and more
important movements. The thing that
should be expected now is temporary hes
ttsDcy with small declines for a week or
two, and perhaps for longer. The declines
should not be very important, as the ad-
yances have not been. Or so at least talk
the more conservative houses in Wall
Street OF the situation. As 10 the more d s.
tant future there is ample evidence on
which to base the belief that when the
present professional market gives way TO
something else there will be large adj
vance In prices. Intrinsic conditions war
rant such an advance.
The talk of politics is still heard in the
etreet to the exclusion of almost every
thing else. Perhaps the statement should
read that politics is talked because there
Is very little else Of interest to the mar
kei al present. for this is the fact The
bulls are still preaching the certainty
that Mr.. Mckinley will be elected, because
Nr. Bryan's party has come out for free
silver. The bull side of the market is in
fact, the more popular at present, with
the unthiniging portion of the street and
the street following of semi professional
traders in other cities. These people have
been loading up with stocks for the past
two weeks. The real professionals are now
taking this excellent opportunity TO sell
GU. and TO go short. They know that
whatever the fate of the election is TO be
the advance has been only manipulat ted
one. with politics a cloak, and that il
is well nigh certain to be followed by a
reaction.
Dividend runners are next to politics In
favor with the gossipers for the moment,
and these rEmorS account fer the strength
shown by few securities yesterday, while
the general market was inclined TO sell

/; has shown much more than this amount
earned during the past year. But the pres
ent policy of the big railway men of the
country. the men that control the Bal,i-
more and Ohio with others of the trunk

more than this, it does not need any great
extremity of conservatism TO urge that a
company which is issuing bonds to make
necessary Improvements should not be anx-
ious TO put its common stock on dividend
basis in so short time after reorganiza-
ton. A dividend may be declared next

not look for one.

The Union Pacific boom had somewhat
died out yesterday. At one time the stock
advanced to a new high price for the
movement, sc. but before the close there
WAS seen to be very heavy realizing at
the advance. and the close was 90 SIS, frac-
tionally below the opening. The unofficial
statement of the earnings of this company
published on Wednesday, showing about .
per cent earned on the common stock, is
believed to be accurate, but the prediction
of 4 per cent dividend on the common
stock made at the time the statement was
launched is received with less implicit
faith.
