LOSSES FRACTIONAL Market Soon Recovered and Some Material Gains Were Later Made. By Print. Leased Win. New York, Aug. I.—The stock mar. ket was again vary Irregular, this morning, reflecting a divergence speculative opinion over the Immediate outlook. Some stocks were very strong add advanced sharply, whlls realizing sales were heavy In others. St. Paul rose and fell fltfully without return ing yesterday's movement and while Union Paclftc were much more vari able In their changes than on previous days. New York Central was the only one of yestsYday's regulars to main tain Its advance. Both Reading and Pennsylvania, after a further rise at the outset, felt the effects of heavy profit-taking. The main movement of the day centered In the stock of the Southern companies, Louisville and Atlantic CoastLIne gaining ground very rapidly. No new reason developed for the strength of this latter group. Speculative operations seemed mere, ly to have reached them In the usual course of shifting from one quarter of the market to another. In accordance with a rather general expectation, the stock market opened with most Issues n shade below yes terday's close. The trading sentiment In favor of a reaction was strengthen ed by the lower range from London. Northwestern declined a point, but. as a rule, the losses were fractional. Louisville and Nashville showed ex ceptlonal strength, Union Pnclflc point and Atlantic Coast Line and Southern Pacific scored a like advance. In spite of the fact that no satisfac tory news Is to obtained In regard to the supposed pending railroad de velopments, the market continue!) strong after the opening day and some further material gains were mmV-> In the first hour. 8t. Paul advanced to 188 8-4 and Union Pacific made a gain of 13-8. Penrtsylvanla and New York Central scored advance*. Other stocks made gains ranging from small frac lions to a point, but heavy selling on) era were in the market and the supply of stocks was so large thst buying ord ers at the advance were practically swamped for the time, and continued offers caused reactions on which prac- tlcally all the early gains webs lost.
