STOCK MARKET OPERATIONS.

Transactions in yesterdays stock market were
light in volume on q movement Of values that
showed great irregularty with final prices in
the majority Of issues at unimportant changes
as compared with the closing figures Of the pre-
ceding day. An active demand for St Paul
which carried the price Of the stock three points
above Tuesdays closing failed to attract an
inquiry elsewhere among the prominent issues,
room traders and commission house interests
apparently being unwilling to make extensive
commitments on either side of the market, their
attitude doubtless being based on the theory
that both the short and long side of speoula-
ton present at the moment little opportunity
for profits In the greater number Of securities
final prices showed net losses as compared with
the last quotations of Tuesdays market, the
heaviest declines being recorded by American
Locomotive, American Smelling. Metropolitan,
Northern Pacific, Tennessee Coal and Iron and
the United States Steel shares Weakness in
the steel shares was due to selling induced by
the weekly reports from the centres Of operation
in the iron and steel fields, which showed a de-
crease in demand compared with the recent
large inquiry From consumers. The fact that
the iron and steel industry is developing a
quieJer tendency does not alarm people who are
well informed regarding the position OF the
trade, especially at this period Of the year. when
dulness is apt TO develop in most lines Of bust
ness.
While total transactions were heavier than IN
Tuesdays market, the general volume of bust
ness was extremely small. the greater part Of
the dealings being supplied by Amalgamated
Copper American Smelling, Pennsylvania.
