Bullish talk continues on Atchison, but tve would not neglect fair returns lu it. even in view of n higher dividend. It should not be bought on bulges. Neither should other actives. Brooklyn will meet a check toward Cl, according to a specialist, who reports a short demand. Canadian may sag off some more In view of Increased offerings. St. Paul Is now held lndween 122 and 123. New York Central 113 nnd 120; Pennsylvania 120 and 126. A stop-or der safeguard Just beyond limits may be beneficial. Town Topics: The demand from the short* seems to Imre been pretty well sntslfled In most Issues, nnd we look for a further general decline, ns there Is not much encouragement to buy stocks after the sharp advance that bus taken place. The strength In Brooklyn, on the other hand. Is accompanied by rumors of a enm- nalgn sgalust the shortage, which Is still fulrly large In this security, and there uiny be other points of strength due to simi lar causes, but, on the whole, the market seems to Invite renewed tmnrlsh aggres sion around the present levels, especially ns the bulge* bring ont plenty of offerings from banking quarters. The Atchison directors will, In all prob ability, place thnt stock on a 6 per cent basis today, but It is a question whether such action has not already l>een discount ed In view of the relative quotations for stock* of equal value. We would not buy Atchison, or. Indeed, nuy of the mils, except on sharp recessions from Inst night's close. We expect materially low er prices to rule In Amalgamated, ns there Is no likelihood of any ndvauce lu the dividend rate for some time to come, nud er metal Is still on the down grade, our opinion there will not be any pos- m ty of any bull movement of Importance until .the settlement of the western rail road labor difficulty, which Is ns much a drawback on the Industrial list ns ou the rails. Cotton should be sold on strong snots. Whent Is a buy only cn sharp reuctlons. ACTIVE STOCKS OPENS LOWER in London Prices at the Opening Were'Mostly Below Parity.
