II.—'Thara was no new Incident today which acted as a de termining factor on the movement of prices of stock, although the operators In the board room and ut stock quotation tickers were ulert aa usual In ranging the world for signs of such news. In Its ahsi-nce the niarknt showed the wan ing Influence of some of the older factors which have been active for aomo Ume past, notably since the election. commission houses report that the vol ume of orders from clients In scattered lornlitlea bus fallen off In the last few days. Tha task of supporting the mar ket grows more difficult when price lim it* are placed on the buying order*. The [growing difficulty of the task was man!- Ifcst today with the Indifference shown to the striking advances In a number of stocks that have beern the more Influ ential traders of sentiment for montha past. Tin- rise In Houthern Pacific to 126 established a new high record that stock and Union Pacific. St. Il’nut mul Northern Factflc sold at the highest prices of the present year. The feeling of distrust gathered force and re sulted In the general decline In the lat ter part of the day. 8t. Paul was affect ed by a report of an Intended bond issue |H be secured by Its Pacific const lines Pw building and It was on the official I denial Of these reporta that the stock to 159. Northern Pacific was bought -Jtho assumption that the deduction from the price tomorrow of the $11.26 ex- Itivi dividend would make the stock look cheap and would lead to some recovery of the amount of dividend. With the re- nctlouury tendency of prices established ther© grew up dlscusalou of thn possibili ty of some setliack In business and In dustry from the first pace having been rapid. Professional element lias l*eetd ■Etching for a reaction based on technlJ cut grounds for itaya. and their rush to follow the movement helped materially [to extend the reaction lute today.
