WALL STREET NOTES.

Uptown S~entiment-Not only specu-
lators, but the heads of some of the
largest commission houses were not at
all certain as to whether the stock
market would have a pronounced up
ward movement in the near future
Nearly all interests agree that the
trading would be on a small scale I'M
til after the forthcoming holidays. Not
a few observers said that in all proba-
bility the market would be extremely
quiet for several weeks. In certain
b banking circles. however, the opinion
was expressed that while the market
might be comparatively inactive for a
little time. it would harden and
gradually advance in anticipation of
the ounceme of a financial plan
for tho Union Pacific, which will be
fully as comprehensive, II is claimed.

culated in recent weeks.
"A traders market. with good oppor-
tunities on either side for quick turns

expected the remaining two sessions of
the week. said a leading operator to-
day.

wheat yield placed the crop at 725,0s0,-

than a cent a bushel from the higa
price of yesterday.

of August show some notable achieve
