There was little trading to speak of with very light at tendance on the floor of the exchange. At the start tha market ruled soft In spots. Some selling In New York ffen- traf forced this stock down to 89. Mod erate liquidation, however. In other parts of the list did not produce much animation and the swing In th* lenders were confined to fractions. Pennsylva nia declined with New York Centro! along with Missouri Pacific. It was the general view that some stock Is being pressed on the market In these Issues. The decline In Missouri Pacific was In fluenced by dividend prospects. The selling In American Sugnr continued, and there seem* little Inclination to support tho stock. This deter* many from buying at this level. The decla ration of a stock dividend of 3 1-3 per centdn Missouri Pacific was announced In the afternoon session. There waa very •iittl*_ exciterflfcht t^tlending the publication of this.
