of a lease. with a guaranteed dividend by
New York Central ana Northwestern. IN
many quarters significance was attached
10 the way in which st. Paul sympathlzeu
with the advances ana reactions in Union
Pacific. The coppers and smelterS were
without special feature. but it was claimed
tina. insiders We're acquiring stock. Gould
stocks Were fairly strong, but there was
said to be considerable profit-taking in all
of them. Inside sentiment was bullish on
Manhattan.
There was good buying of Louisville and
of Atchison preferred, but Atchison COM
nor was rather heavy, and the belief in
good quarters was that the dividend would
not be in excess of IA per cent semi-an-
nually.
The steel stocks showed fair strength
and sentiment on them was very good in
inside circles. The fact that the Morgan
syndicate had taken IL large block of British
conSols at the same time that Mr.. Morgan
placed steel stocks in London attracted IA
vorab,e attention.
Announcement that the City Bank had
ordered more gold for export induced some
realizing and traders attacked the market
in the belief that a decline like that on
Monday and Tuesday afternoon could be
forced. but the support was much better
than on either of those days ana after Il
little recession leading stocks advanced to
still higher quotations than had been
reached in the forenoon.
In the last hour traders again attacked
the market and found stocks receiving less
support than on the earlier break. Union
Pacific was the central point of attack and
considerable realizing was forced here and
at other points. The action of the market
in breaking the third successive day les
sened in the last hour on the bull sentiment
largely and ommission-houses are likely to
, .t.,..c CONSERVATIVE hereafter. Cal mon
ey was easy at 81 per cent. Union Pacific
rallied to a new high level just before the
close. but without any marked effect on
other stocks. Conservative judges thought
the market looked dangerous.
