While tliorr was no trace of tlie wild tnidliiR wlilcli iimrkiri oiern tlotu tin tlie Slock KxcliuiiKu jestctdiiy, the niarltct tone held Htroiiu nud thn Important movements were aunln to matriliilty lilfilier prices, with it number of Insiici pasHlns above the liljrh iiuotatloiiM mralo on the violent advances at the opening yesterday morning. Tho assumption whs central that the plans for control over the rail roads, which went Into effect at noon today, permitted distribution nf allotted net Income which would place many low-priced shares back on the dividend paving list, and this belief caused vigorous buying of stocks like Krlo first preferred, and good gains were made In the stocks which had been In a, position of uncertainty In regard to dividend maintenance. Ilotli St. I'aul common and preferred and ll.iltlm.nro and Ohio vcrc steadily bought on n. belief that dividend uncertainty bus been eliminated. The Street had something definite to work on with the declaration of Initial dividends on the Hock Island and lMclllc pieferrcd shares. That action had n quick response in a vigorous buying movement In both those Issues. The 7 per cent preferred advanced 13 points to 08 Vi and the fi per cent preferred rose J Hi points to 5'J. Itock Island common followed, with a gain of nearly 3 points to' 24",. A feature of the day'B trading was the action of Lehigh Valley, which sold ex dividend, moving up to CSi with tho dividend off. against &S at the close yesterday with the dividend on. The slock more than recovered its dividend during tho first halt of the day. Many specialties vvero forced Into prominence and made further violent advances, and there was heavy trading all through the day In United States Steel, which moved up 1' points more to above S3. Hallroad bonds continued strong, with many .ssucs making addi tional gains to those established In yesterday's trading.
