per cent higher. The declines. were all
nominal. the most important one being
a loss OF q per cent in Erie. The gains
Included y per cent in Missouri Pacific
and 2s per cent in New York Central
Union Pacific, and Brooklyn Rapid
Transit
There was a similarity between the
opening of the market today and the
initial dealings for the last few days
Firmaess was exhibited at the start. but
general prOht-Jaking caused some frac-
tiOnal recessions. Several issues were
however, notably firm. Union Pacific
advanced IS per cent on additions made
70 the board OF directors at the annual
meeting yesterday. Louisville & Nash
vile was in better demand. and solo up
a point. New York Central rose Is
per cent then reacted about 10 opening
prices. Other firm features were Atchi-
son, St. Louis Southwestern, St Louis,
San Francisco second preferred, Della
ware and Hudson, and Illinois Central
IN the industrial group there was a
slight dip in United States Steel issues.
Colorado Fuel and Iron was firm. United
States Leather stocks were strong, and
there were gains in Pressed Steel Car,
American Car and Foundry. Railway
Steel Springs. General Electric, and
SI0ss Sheffield. In local fractions Brook
lya Rapid Transit continued IN demand
and Metropolitan Securities rallied.
Government bonds unchanged. Rail-
road and other bonds were strong.
A very large proportion OF the stock
market is now al the highest points Of
the entire upward movement The mar
ket IS broad, with decided increase in
number of stocks dealt in. but at the
same time there IS a notable absence OF
large individual transactions London
trading has not been particularly heavy
AmaIgamdted Copper has been an eX-
ception TO the general strength, keeping
fractiOnally lower on steady but small
sales from Boston.
