OF the stock market today was dOmin-
atcd largely still by the movements
of Union Pacific. These movements
were very irregular and uncertain
and the whole list conformed TO this
with much eXactitude. The move
ment in Union Pacific showed some
evidence OF running out and this
indication served to discourage ac-
1ivity elsewhere and greatly curtail-
ed operations after the first hours OF
