STOCK MARKET OPERATIONS.

Transac tions in the short session Of yester-
days stock market light in volume on
movement of values that in most instances mad
no definite tendency last quotations IN the
greater number Of issues showing unimportant
changes as compared with the final figures or
the preceding day. The only active exceptions
were supplied by Northern Pacific and Canadian
Pacific among stocks and the Burlington Joint
As and the Green Bay and Western BIS in the
bond department. in which decided Improvement
was recorded. The demand for Canadian Pa
ciic included buying for the account of opera
tors who for no good reason have been bearish
on the stock their dealings yesterday rejecting
some pressure from the element that evidently
is strong enough TO compel the shorts to cover
at higher prices. After the close or business
there were private sales Of the stock at quota
ton above the closing, the last figure showing
a net gain of over l per cent. ON the recent
decline in Canadian Pacific the stock was alb
sorbed by substantial interests who took the
issue its Intrinsic merit rather than for spec
ulative reasons, their transactions being based
on the known value of the Canadian Pacific
property, on the increasing earnings of the COM
pany, on the great industrial expansion that is
under way in the Dominion Of Canada and on the
belief in the relatively low price Of the stock as
a 6 per cent investment. Union Pacific failed to
make important move in either direction
hut there appeared to be quiet buying by In
siders. the operations IN the issue being accom-
panied by the report that people close to the
management OF the property were accommodating

ton of a large scrip dividend for the share
holders.
