another. There was a rather general show of strength at the outset in con tinuation of the movement amongst the bears to cover up their shorts which has been manifest for a day or two. Meantime, stocks which have been made the engine of the bulls in lifting prices against the shorts began to show the effects of the retreat of the bull party, Especially ill Reading the movement to take profits was con spicuous and that stock was sold steadily at the time the Hill stocks were most conspfcuously strong There was little in the occurrences of the day with any direct bearing on values. The rise in American locomotive seemed to indicate feeling of gratifi- cation by stockholders that the rate of the dividend distribution was left unchanged New York Air Brake, however, was equally strong, in spite of yesterdays decision to postpone the dividend action. New York Central and Pennsylvania did not share in the early rise of prices, notwithstand ing yesterdays declaration of the div idend at the full 6 per cent rate for the first and the increase in the sub sidiary Pennsylvania company's divi- dend in the case of the other Much weight is given to the supposed inten- ton of these companies to prepare the way, by these dividend actions, for the offering of additional new securities at a later period. The effect of this con sideration seems to be depressing on the stocks themselves, although it might be regarded as significant of a hopeful feeling over future revival of prosperous activities on the part of the capitalists thus planning for addi- tional outlays. Reports that an agree
 ment had been reached amongst the steel rail experts on the patterns for l the 1908 rail was accompanied by in timations that the railroads were pre- paring to make their assignments of

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Day Characterised by Indifferent Deal
 ing -Actlon in Few stocks.

New York, Dec 19,-The atmos- phere of the holidays began to gather about the stock exchange to-day and the tone of the dealings became dull and indifferent The whole market gave clear evidence of it's narrow pro- fessional limitations. Activity was con gested in a few stocks and in these the action was irregular and not ruled by any consistent motives. Any sign of the strength in one part of the list was taken advantage of to sell stocks at

H. Content was an early buyer of Missouri Pacific. Wall street is very much interested in what the directors will do regarding the dividend on this stock The general opinion favors a material reduction. if not passing en- tirely. The bears assert that the action of the tape points to such course, There was a report however, yester- day that the directors would act be- fore this week ends, and that the rate would be nearer the usual ? 1-2 per cent. than otherwise.

The market however, was mostly marking time yesterday, This contin- ued apathy, and the absence of the more prolonged recovery in prices which has usually followed the quiet ing-down of panic, is explainable this year, partly by the approach of the year-end demand on money which all ways holds down rise in financial values, but, even more immediately, by the continuance of restriction on payments by eastern banks and by per- sistence of the premium on currency.
