 An illustration of the markets un- usual indifference to favorable devel- opments was furnished by Southern Pacific which barely gained a point, although the annual report disclosed record breaking earnings and net gain of 3S.70 per cent over 1917.

 Noteworthy movements of the day were mainly downward, General Mo tors making an extreme decline of nine points with only nominal recovery. while Sumatra Tobacco was tossed to and fro at a gross reversal of 31a points and Lorillard Tobacco lost 10 points on one transaction.
