New York. Aug z4-A market that
was agitated into violent commotion last
week by reports Of Mr.. Hartman S
health was little affected by his return
7 to-day. though all the reports regarding
him or from him were favorable. and
many were much better than had been
expected.
One Of the first reported him as calling
the Union Pacific directors to meet him
down the bay. and 1t could only be in
ferred from this that ne could not wait
10 reach the shore before talking bust
ness again, and that he was by no means
returning for his health alone
Other reports represented his condition
as good as had been expected, and his
own remarks on the business outlook
had it that his health was reassuring.
Reports Widely Discussed.
The reports were discussed in all the
Offices for there was little else in the days
news 20 form topic among spectators.
but the discussion was languid, and
produced little speculation. It seemed
that, as food for speculation. the topic
had become stale. and only the floor
professionals and the habitual traders
hazarded any commitments upon It.
Most of the days business was con-
tributed by traders Of these classes. for.
While the number Of customers on brok-
ers' books is still large. the days devel-
opments were not interesting or Impor-
tant enough to stimulate activity among
others than professional or semi-profes-
sional traders.
Their operations resulted IN few price
movements at all noteworthy A drive
on the market In the morning caused a
slight recession and covering in the
afternoon. brought about a weak rally.
From the beginning to the end OF the
session trading was less active than on
any previous day for two weeks. and
fluctuations in a narrower groove Moth
ing at all Of the excitement OF last week
seemed left over
The recovery from last weeks reaction
has been rather greater than usually
follows sharp break in prices. but the
market has acted in accordance with
precendent in gradually working toward
steadiness and dullness.
The late trading yesterday was particu-
larly dull and featureless. and II seemed
that the effect Of last weeks break
had entirely disappeared and that new
developments Of some consequence are
now needed If there is to be inspired any
considerable increase in activity.
Expected from Union Pacific.
Some Of the more credulous specula-
tors had expected some such development
from the Union Pacific and Southern Pa
cihc dividend meetings to-day, but in no
weil-informed quarters was any such ex-
pectation entertained, so that the dec
lsratiop Of the customary dividends
passed without the slightest market ef-
feet OF the few individual price move
ments attracting attention. gain OF 21L
points In Consolidated Gas In trading
usually heavy for this issue was con
spicuous. this stock closing within
fraction OF $50. and thus Indicating an
expectation OF an increase In the divi-
dent above the present rate Of 4 per
cent.
In money the only movement OF IN
terest was an advance In sterling ex
change rates 70 a level of 30 points
above parity Time money on CONNER
cial paper was in fair demand: otherwise
both the call and time money markets
were dull, with rates unchanged.
