of note. The strength in that stock really dominated the whole market and gave it whatever vague character it had. There was no news to explain the advance in Union Pacific. It was var iously attributed to the formation of stock market pool to speculate in the stock and to the exception of some coming change In the affairs of the company that would rebound to the be- nefit of stockholders, The sympathetic effect of the Union Pacific movement radiated through the market with di- minishing effect in stocks more re- motely connected with 1t, the greatest effect being shown in the more intima- tely connected transcontinental group. The sharp reaction in the wheat mar ket gave some assistance to the advo- cates of higher prices for stocks. Otherwise the day was unusually bar ren of incident. The price of copper made another advance in London to- day and gave some impetus to copper securities. Reports from railroad traf- fic officials were of continuance of fa- vorable conditions, but in a less san guine tone than recently. The car sit- uation is reported easier, although this is attributed to an increased supply of new cars rather than to any falling off ill traffic offering. The keen competi- ton in the London market for the ] newly arrived gold was looked upon with interest. The sharp bidding which advanced the price of the gold half penny. the small proportion secured by he Paris bidders, the continued fall in the sterling exchange rate at Paris and the firmness of the sterling exchange market here all added to the likelihood that gold might be shipped from New York to Paris. The local money market was not affected by these developments and remained easy, with very sluggish demand for funds for stock market purposes. There was unusually languid interest in the im~ minent dividend meeting of United States Steel directors, which is to oc- f cur tomorrow. This was largely due to the decline of any exceptation of a change in the dividend rate to be de- clared. There was a feeling of satis- faction with the tranquil outlook re- ported in the labor field on the eve of May day

 For thirty or more years he was an engineer for the Consolidated road at Belle dock, 8 much-valued and trusted employe. He married Isidora A. Arm- strong, daughter of the late Captain Serene Armstrong, whom he leaves to mourn his death. He was one of the most devoted of husbands and kindest of fathers.
 He also leaves one daughter, the wife of John W. Hum, of the firm of Hum & Futile. For three years he was a great sufferer from brain trouble. He was a member of Adelphi lodge, F. and A. M. Although not buried with Ma sonic honors, there was delegation of brother Masons attending the last sad rites.
