Sporty SHOWING
IN STOCK PRICES

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-operators in
the stock market today concerned them
selves almost wholly with Union Pacific
affairs. Rumors of coming financial devel-
opments in this property continued to cir
culate. On the Union Pacific stocks them
selves the current rumors did not lack
vigorous influence, as shown by the days
advance to 2l5 for the common stock and
lis for the preferred stock.
The special prominence of the preferred
stock was due to the stories Of new claims
discovered for that stock to participate in
any plan for sharing the benefit of the
company's investments, such as is pointed
to by the reports that have been prevalent
for the last few days.
The appointment of a committee to con-
slider a plan for segregating the invest
ment holdings of stock of other companies
was made some two years ago, with an
intimation that it would be taken up when
conditions became settled after the panic
sufficiently to make it feasible. The fact
that such conditions might have been re-
gsrded as restored long ago led to a gen.
eral assumption that it had been aban
doned.
revival of the discussion Of the plan
began when the rise in the price Of Union
Pacific had expanded it to a figure un-
wieldy for purposes of ordinary stock mar
ket activity.
I The general strength of the market at
the opening gave place TO a spotty show
ing of advances here and there, which
thinned out until the Union Pacific stocks
I were left practically alone at the higher
levels.
The preliminary estimates Of the cur
renoy movement also gave ground for some
hesitation in speculative extensions. The
J movement of funds from the interior shows
q marked falling off, the balance of re-
ceipts on the express movement falling to
below ST. 600, 600 compared with upward of
81, 0o0, 900 last week. This weeks receipts,
in fact, are pronounced the lightest for
any week in five months, during which the
receipts over shipments from the interior
aggregated SIs0, O0O, 900.
The general stock market became much
unsettled in the course of the day and ran
I of weak all day, with no definite dealings.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
! value, 81, 49, 900.
United States bonds were unchanged on
I call.
