Of the large oversubscriptions to the

considerable momentum in the preceding
session. The market continued more or

yesterdays sellers found il convenient to

these requirements were met the demand

buying power to be still very limited.
In so far as price movement was con

nished a Striking Contrast,
Soaring to 1872

The depressing weakness of United
Gas Improvement and the pronounced
strength Of Electric Storage Battery
stood out in bold contrast in today :
local market The dealings attending
these two striking opposite movements
were unusually heavy. The heavy "cIl
ing Of United Gas improvement. was
unqupstionably prompted by the fears
which have sprung up Of cut in tn"
dividend rate. which many seem to
think will be unavoidable after the
frank admissions made by Mr.. Brdine
in his statement regarding the city gas
lease yesterday.
The directors OF the company declared
the regular quarterly dividend of per
cent on the stock: and even though this
news came out before the opening it
failed to stay the fresh outburst of
liquidation. The largely increased sell
ing orders found the buying demand
very limited and in consequence the
price was promptly forced down from
40 to 81 u, the lowest price the stock
has touched in many years. 1t was
pointed out by conservative people that
even il the dividend should be reduced.

can obtain better price for its product,

adverse conditions with which the com
pany has been fighting are only tenn

The spirited up bidding Of Electric
Storage Battery of 81 to 1872 furnished
pleasing change. and the renewed
buying OF this now local favorite was
accompanied by confident reports of q

ers. The supply was found to be equal.

case of r. G. 1. Although some profit
taking was met. the gain was nearly

There was not much doing in the bal
ance Of the local list, but the market
showed an inclination to droop, and in
most cases there was fractional ahad
ing Of prices, The railroad shares
which had been the backbone Of the
market, fell fractionally. The traction
shares continued neglected. Philadcl
