FINANCIAL REVIEW.

New York. Nov. 1.-THE New York
Evening Sun financial Review today
said:
The line of cleavage between the In :
dustrial and railroad lists was clearly
defined when trading In the stock mar
ket was resumed today. The shares of
the former were distinctly soft at the
opening and continued SO for the first
hour or more when they steadied and
at intervals thereafter displayed some
firmness. There was a forward move
ment in rails under the leadership Of
Union Pacific which advanced through
l31 to point gain early in the ses-
sion. The movement had scarcely got
good start, however, when the decis-
ion of the supreme court adverse to
the Southern Pacific in the minor of
two California land cases came over
the wires from Washington.
Southern Pacific shares suffered an
immediate sinking spell which carried
them down from los to below 1902. I'm
ion Pacific paused In it's upward swing
and dropped back to below 129 the 9TH
err rails steadying themselves rather
uncertainty. As 1t became generally
known that the case on which decision
had been rendered was not particularly
important In itself and that the cues
tions of law involved were quite dis
tinct from those in the other case re-
Gently decided In the federal district
court in California having to do with
the title of some 100000 acres in that
state, Union Pacific got back to It's
top price and Southern Pacific regain
ed about two points OF the loss. At the
same time industrials did better also.
While both rails and industrials did
better through the remainder of the
afternoon previous losses being neu-
trallzed in numerous cases trading con-
tinued relatively dull and devoid of
push In any direction.
