Ihe professional traders accepted this
as an indication that yesterday's one.

the market. When this realization was
h9tieed they offered prices down.
The early buying which helped TO i'm

had been relied upon to continue the ad-

The Hartman dividend meetings were
also lacking In speculative material, be-
ing confined to the regular dividend in
the declaration on Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific Assertions for some
time past that the Southern Pacific divi-
dend was to be raised have received no
authoritative countenance. But there was
oNluently remnant or nope that the

Wall street has made much market

these conjectures of a treaty. Today
there was rather a notable concurrence
I'm the substance of several news dis
patches from Washington on this subject
which pointed to information from first
hand source and which ratker belied the
assumption Of change in the admins

duced on speculative sentiment by the
revision thus forced of an impression
built upon unsubstantial rumors.
Money worked easier at first both for
call and time loans, and no effect was
apparent from the return tomorrow of
$1,000 900 of government deposits The
conviction was held In some quarters
that the withdrawal of this money would
be postponed. but no official announce
ment from Washington appeared as the
basis of the assumption.
Another s., 100000 note issue, this time
