The main feature of yesterdays
stock market was its consistent dull
ness, dealings barely reaching 600,-
900 shares, the smallest total of any
full session for many weeks. Virtu-
ally all the trading emanated from
professional sources, and so far as
was indicated by the movement of
prices, that faction was more or less
at sea.
From its firm opening the list soon
began to drop, and by the end OF the
first hour most leaders, including
United States Steel, weer down to
points. These losses were Irregular
ly extended later, particularly in vol
etile specialh les ysueh as General Mo
tors, which registered an extreme de-
cline of 13& points after announce
ment of the i per cent dividend, re-
covering over half before the close.
More steadiness was shown in the
last hour, when Steel made up all its
losses and Atchison infused some
strength to rails on its rise of rs
points. In the main, however, trans
portation shares were decidedly ir-
regular, with occasional heaviness in
Canadian Pacific and New Haven.
