WISCONSIN CENTRAL STRONG

NEW YORK. Aug. 19.-The absence of
the sentimental guidance OF the Lon
don quotations, and d holiday spirit
which always pervades the summer Sat
urflays to a greater or less extent. oper-
ated strongly against the market to-
day. The opening averaged somewhat
lower, probably 4 per cent. The tone
was. on the whole, heavy during the en-
tire first hour on a reduced volume Of
trade. Occasional advances. notably in
Reading and Wisconsin Central. failed
TO stimulate the list. which was heavy
on lack of interest rather than increase
in supply.
The bank statement was made public
somewhat earlier than usual. and was
we'll received, as the net loss In cash
was only half the amount lost through
the principal channels. and the reserves
did not show the decrease popularity ex-
pected. Prices rallied Immediately, and
the last forty-f1ve minutes showed a
better tone. On the whole the list closed
at a slight net advance. In many
stocks Of the usually active class there
was variation of about 1 per cent from
the extreme low TO the extreme high.
The most notable feature was the
strength of the Wisconsin Central Sc
curities. which yesterday just passed
