NEWS OF THE MARKETS

adam Pacific suffered sharp relapse
from early high prices. Liquidation of
Rock Island issues was checked and col
lateral As and preferred stock rebounded
sharply.
Bonds were irregular.
The tone of the market improved after
midday when short covering became more
general. Union Pacific led upward
movement turning a morning loss of a
point into a rise of half of a point
Shorts in the stock were timid and
bought freely while the directors of the
company were meeting, in the fear that
something might be done in regard to
the rumored extra dividend.
Prices took a decisive drop downward
late In the day. Announcement that the
negotiating of speculative influence was
done at the Union Pacific meeting af
forded an opportunity for a bear drive.

also was very heavy.
The market closed weak. Failing off
of orders for steel products despite the
