STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Volatile Rise of Hartman PaCifcs
 Gives Powerful Tonic

New York. Nov. 10.-A very DOW
 crful tonic was administered to the
 stock market to-day in the volatile
 rise in the Hartman Pacifcs This movement, for violence and volume of dealings, recalled the days of the spec
 ulativc eXcesses of 1908 preceding the advance in the Union Pacific dividend
 from per cent, to 10 per cent. and
 the initiation of dividends on Southern Pacific at the rate of per cent. The meeting of the directors of these companies to act on the dividends was set for to-day but was postponed until tomorrow to give opportunity for att tendance upon the funeral of Vice President Cornish of the Southern Pacific railroad A flood of old rumors converged upon the supposed intention of this meeting in regard to dividends or other financial projects. The most clearly defined of the many rumors circulated alleged an Intended issue of { l-2 per cent. Southern Pacific bonds to retire the : per cent preferred stock, which is subject to redemption at ll5 or to exchange into common stock. An advance in the dividend rate on the common stock to [ per cent. was an alleged accompaniment of this proposed financing. The large holdings of Southern Pacific in the Union Pacific treasury make clear the advantage that would accrue to that treasury from increased dividends on southern Pacific and enlarged dlvi- dends for Union Pacific were hastily assumed from this possibility, There was no authoritative confirmation or denial obtalnabe for any of these rumors Stocks in which the Harri- man interest has been demonstrated moved up strongly from the forenoon depression when the Hartman paci- fics began to boom The purpose tc turn paper profits into cash was very apparent in the rush to take advantage of the high opening of prices 10 sell
 which carried prices backwards to the neighborhood of last nignts prices or below. Then 1t was that the move ment in the Harrimans came to the relief of the supporters of prices, The sympathetic movement in the genera
 list was constrained by steady offer. lngs to realize. A feature was a mum. ber of sensational advances in special. ties International Harvester, for in.

The banks of New York made pro- visional arrangements yesterday to re- tire the circulation based on the ma turing issue of treasury certificates which the government has arranged to redeem within the next ten days. This operation may involve payments of s6,000,000 or s7,O00,000 cash by local institutions, which secured most of the s15,496,500 one-year notes at the time they were brought out last autumn.

Call money did not touch Mondays

Call money did not touch Mondays per cent. rate--the highest since January when the boarding of cur rency had not wholly subsided--- aroused much inquiry as to whether continuance of the stock market ex- cltement might not stir up the money market to some purpose. The large surplus bank reserve at New York it is still $9,000,00O above what the opening of November has witnessed in any year since 1S94--would seem a guarantee against such result. The present case is similar to that of the after election boom" of 1904.

They have been shelved for quite long time, but are now being bought by the same interests who have been put ting up the price of United States Steel.

Wall Street was full of rumors that the Southern Pacific directors, at their meeting to-day, would place the com mon stock at a 2 per cent. dividend basis. On this report there was very heavy buying of the common stock. Little attention was paid to the prev ious rumors that the preferred stock would be retired with the proceeds of convertible into common it was felt that raising the dividend from to z per cent. would make the conversion privilege attractive.

A dividend. possibly 2 per cent. for the first six months of the fiscal year, with payment at this same rate In the first half of 1909, contingent on earnings, Is expected to be declared on Colorado Southern common Thurs day. There Is still q division in the board over the matter, but it is be- lieved that the majority favor tho payment The tape certainly ndi- cates plainly that common stockhold- CTS are going to receive some bene- fit, as the price is the highest ever reached. and would be much too high for stock that had no dividend promise.
