STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Prices Improve in Early Trading
-IrrequIarity at Close.

The short day session yesterday was
marked by irregularty in the course OF
prices, and the result of transactions
was not sufficiently defined TO forecast
future movements. In the initial sales
fractional gains were shown, but trad
ers who were on the short side were
not convinced of the strength of the
market. and remained inactive. United
States Steel. Union Pacific and Read

can Smelling and Refining displayed
gains at the opening. The news from
Mexico indicating that the revolution
was on the verge of settlement ma

Rubber. which in the early days OF the
week presented a very firm tone, sold
off easily. Taking the list altogether
so much irregularity was shown that
sentiment grew more uncertain as the
morning advanced. Stock was offered
literally when prices reached point
where profits could be taken. Some
support was in evidence during the
second hour in a few Of the issues, ana
at the close gains were recorded IN
several stocks. confined largely to the
oil N rs-
port was circulated that the hremen
had rejected the proposal of the rail-
roads, which caused weakness TO pre-
vail, and declines from the high quota
tons of the session followed. Other
news Of the late morning included IA
story that, contrary 10 the dispatches
from Mexico published in the morning
papers telling of a new government
Madero had not resigned, and that the
prospect of cessation Of fighting be-
tween the Madero and the Diaz troops
was not very bright. Instead OF a
more cheerful outlook, as had been en-
pected, the stock market closed yester-
CAV with a heavy tone and conditions
so disturbing on the surface that slight
announcement was offered for opti-
mistic predictions. Trade reviews OF

CONSOLIDATED EXCHANGE.

An improved market tone was reflected
i'm the early dealings on the Consolidated
Stock Exchange, but there was a soften
