MARKET
CLOSES HEAVY
by Associated Press.

New York, May 1.-THE dropping ten
dency was apparent in the early trading
on the stock market to-day, although
changes were small. The heaviest loser
was Sloss- Sheffield Steel, which receded
34 Union Pacific fell back 1-2 and
Western Maryland advanced the same
amount.
Trading diminished steadily until there
was scarcely a semblance of life to the
market. Fluctuations were in keeping
with the sluggishness of the list, none
of the speculative favorites varying more
than a small fraction. The tendency was
upward, with United States Steel and St
Paul rising to above yesterdays closing
Minneapolis and st. Louis gained points
the preferred 1 1-2 and Philadelphia
Company l IA.
The market closed heavy and dull
Business was quite featureless in the
final hour, the only noteworthy exceptions
being Philadelphia Company, which
gained 219 and Minneapolis, st. Paul and
S. S. Marie, which was up L. The
more active issues, such as Union Pacific
and Reading continued under pressure.

four years the trustees of the Peabody
Educational fund are about to dis
tribute the $2,300,000 balance remain

St. Paul Breaks to Lowest Point Touched Since
I9O7-Reduction in Price of Steel

New York, Oct 4.-Stocks closed dull
and irregular to-day with losses of about
point in standard issues. Two stocks
to attract attention were st. Paul and
Western Union. The former was broken
to the lowest price touched since the
panic of 1907 and the latter advanced
to a new high price for recent weeks.
Steel and Union Pacific declined stub
bornly and it was evident that they were
being sold by professional traders. The
big people arc doing nothing much in
the market except laying traps for pro-
fessionals just now. While there is moth
ing to justify liberal buying of stocks
on fundamental grounds the technical
condition makes rally much more prob
able than a decline for the immediate
future.
St PauTs weakness was due to a wide
spread belief that the stock is now dis
counting a reduction of the dividend TO
= per cent at the next meeting. St
Paul under par will look attractive with
a per cent dividend, and it is the direc-
tors belief they can maintain it on a
. per cent rate. The decline is nearly
over. The insiders sold the stock enor-
mously 80 points higher, and the kept
selling it until it had broken 12O. Per
haps the new low levels are due TO
manlpula tive movements designed to dis
courage small stockholders, and make it
easier 10 get the stock back
see 4 Per Cent Basis.
In Western Union the strength was due
to report that the stock would be put
on "A per cent dividend basis at the next
meeting. This statement is not Official
for nothing could be obtained at head
quarters. The report, however. is be-
lieved in conservative quarters, and the
earnings and management of Western
Union Justify the confidence that the
stock market displayed to-day in the re-
port. As American Telegraph and Tele-
phone owns about % per cent of the out
standing stock IF Western Union. an in
crease of the dividend from its present
; per cent basis to a 4 per cent basis will
