THE STOCK MARKET

New York, Aug. 1s.--operators in. the etock market today concerned themieives almost wholly with the af. coming nnal developments In this prop srty continued to circulate In great va- risty. They were 70 far lacking in hold the general list of stocks against the pressure of realizig sales. which were pushed constantly throughout the day. On the Union Pacific stocks lack vigorous influences as shown by the days advance to 216 for the com mon stock and 118 for the preferred stock. The special prominence of the new claims discovered for that stock the benefit of the oompanys Invest ments. Such as is pointed to by the re- last few days. It is said that means might be found to retire the preferred stock on terms advantageous to its holders to clear the way for the com. the proposed plan. The terms of that plan continued to be very vaguely out- lined and the time of it's adoption very indefnitely indicated in the rumors. nouncemenf of the matter. The ap- pointment of a committee of officials Of the company to consider plan for segregating the investment holdings of stock of other companies was made some two years ago with an intimation that it would be taken up when con- ditions became settled after the panio sufictently to make It feasible. The fact that those conditions might have been regarded as restored long ago led to a general assumption In the minds of the public that it had been abandoned.
 A substitution of a new security for part of the old stock was then urgede as promising the advantage of greater facility in open market dealings even with no actual change in the dividend cet. dividend now is expressly desig- mated as 6 per cent. from railroad top- eration and { per cent: from income tdends if allotted to different securi- ties would not seem so sensational in Q way considered undesirable by finan- cial managers, owing to the effect in arousing public sentiment. The gem eral strength of the market at the opening gave place to a spotty show ing of advances here and there which thinned- cut until the Union Pacific stocks were left practically alone at the mates of the currency movement also gave ground for some hesitation in speculative extension. The movement of ofnf funds aads from the Union Pacific had made 1t unwieldy for public or ordi- nary stock market activity.

A late rally followed a bullish statement regarding for etgn mill stocks and spinners takingA for the month of July. but seemed chiefly due to covering. as 1t was not maintained.

 Liberal sales of lard to exporters was one of the chief reasons for a strong market in provisions. Lighter receipts of live hogs at Western packine< cen- ters also contributed to the nrmness. Prices at the close were s to 10s cents higher. .
