THIRD AVENUE 81" IS BOOSTED

Special Dispatch TO The Star
NEW YORK, June 2J.-Prices on the
stock exchange today seemed merely 'c
be rejecting kind of profit-takinS
sentiment which made the market for
Americans in London weak. The opening
sales here this morning. except in A
few securities. were from Il to y be-
low Thursdays closing figures.
Union Pacific, whose preferred shares
had risen yesterday mysteriously from
1O3 to 10. was reactionary today, AID
the preferred lost much Of its gain
yesterday and carried with it in SYM
pathy the common shares down point
and a half from yesterdays highest
quotation.
the Third Avenue railroad out of the
hands of the receiver by assessing the
stockholders SD a share instead OF de-
pressing the stock of that company had
the immediate effect of advancing the
stock three points. either on the theory
that the worst was known, and that m
siders had already discounted the Ell
feet OF the assessment plan. or else the
shorts were speedily running to cover.
London was seller of considerable
block of our stocks this morning upon
stories of an American operator In PARIS
having become involved In mining Snares
ana COOneFS IN particular Ofi tue ctiCi
side. 1t was supposed here that the
stories referred to an operator who had
not been identified with any important
movements on this side for several
months.
Losses for Many Leaders.
Money continued easy both here and
abroad. offering every incentive for opera
tors 70 carry investments when money is
cheap.
The market movements up to early in
the afternoon were very narrow. Reading
contributed a majority of the sales in the
more active securities. United States
Steel sold as low as 6iI4 by o'clock in
the afternoon. and with the eception al
ready noted, in the case of I'd Avenue.
most of the active railway and industrial
securities showed <osses of from 1 to .
points since yesterday.
The weakness of the market here, In
addition to sympathy with London. was
scribed partly to technicalities calling
for q slight reaction and partly to the
uneasiness over the settlement OF the
tariff and prolonged discussion at WASH
ington on the subject of raising more rev.
enues from the corporations in the form
of tax upon their earnings.
