PAcIFICS RUSH UP
EXCITING SCENES ON STOCK
 MARKET FLOOR.
Enormtty of Dividends Caused Brokers To Go Wild I'm Buying and Stocks
 Held Firm Until Close.

New York. Aug. 17.-Amid frantic scenes today on the stock exchange, Union Pacific common stock rushed of Southern Pacific s 7-s points today, after an announcement of dividends far In excess of what the traders had any reason to expect.
 The result was that a large number of traders who had sold the stock short suffered sharp losses, and according to an estimate reported by The Evening realized profits amounting to s15. .000.- 900 and a similar pool in Southern Pacific s10,000,O00
 Notwithstanding the meeting of ex- ecutive committees of the Union Paci- fic and Southern Pacific roads in this city yesterday, the bulk of the brokers were. totally unprepared for the am nouncement of dividends which was today's market The dividends were: Union Pacific ped. per cent semi-an nual; common, per cent, semi-annual- ly: Southern Pacifs. common 1-2 per mon heretofore paid 3 per cent and % to- days dividend was the first ever de- ciared on Southern Pacific common
 Brokers were swept into mad strug- gle to buy the. two stocks within a minute after. the announcement was circulated ana the excited scenes which ensued had hardly been exceeded since the great struggle to control Northern Pacific five years ago. The shorts in both Pacifics were unprepared for the upward rush which followed and led the scramble to cover. Within half an hour after the announcement Union Pacific had bounced up more than eight points and Southern Pacific near ly seven.
 Feverish activity prevailed fin the two stocks throughou. the session with various halts in the upward move ment when the traders sold to realize profits. Except for these halts, the upward movement in Untoa Pacific con- tinued throughout the day almost to the close of the market when there was a slight recession on profit taking, Southern Pacifc's advance, however. was halted early and held.s
 Onion Pacific's extreme advance was from 162 5-S to 179 3-4 and Southern Pacifc's from ss 7-s to Ss. Union Pacific closed 178 12 and Southern Pacific at S7 S-S. The total sales or Union Pacific were 647.100 shares ana those of Southern Pacific 4Si. GOO
