GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
At IL Again.

Another item has been added by mar
ket observers to the long list Of market
operations of a certain well known bear
plunGer. Two successive raids against
the leading issues yesterday were attrib-
uted directly to this man and his fol-
lowing. One report had It that he had
dumped overheard an enormous block Of
long stock and had immed lately followed
this by short sale of almost equal pro-
portion. The absorbing capacity of the
market, however. was excellent, and
these two efforts had but momentary
effect There were. here and there. nu-
merous specialties which were Off some-
what more than previous quotations, but
they were affected by purely local con-
sideration. and the market generally re-
covered well from the low OF the day. In
spite of Its decline there was favorable
disposition toward steel common as re-
spected the dividend. II has now been
pretty generally conceded that the dis
bursement at the meeting later this
month will be the regular / l.. per cent.
and an extra of the same amount, al
