'I hero was some early weaunc-s In tho croup In i.ptte of 1111 opening rise of J In National Tube and of 2 points in Tin Plate, but the whole group became Strang later nnd rose 011 an uver.ige between I and 1 points over last night.

Tho stock Itself dropped l:nck nearly 5 points. The currtnt turmlsti as to what dividend would bo declared I inched tho limit at 6 per cent, so that tho per cent dividend was far In excesi of tho mcst snngulno estimate. bemo selling to realize by Insiders was to be expected, but tho surprising fact wa.i that tho buying attracted by the largo dis bursement was qultu Inslgnlllcniit and en tirely Inadequate to ubsorb the ruallzatl in. T he more moderato conjecture as to tho moro fnvornblo development!) In ste l stocks made speculators ficl that tlulr movement on good news was likely to bo disappointing. Tho bears wero not slow to take, udvantnge of this framo of mind, u heir selling forced an extreme decline ( f 0' In Federal Steel, accompanied by a rumor that today's declaration would bo simply n qhurterly one of 1J4 per cent, omitting tho extra dividend or 5 per cent. After the close of the market a 5 per cent dividend was. declared. Steel and Wire was forced down Hi nnd National Steel. Smelting, Steel Hoop, Colo rado Fuel mid National Tube from 1 to 3 points. The episode Is, by some, rcKatdejl as rellectlng the Impression produced by th" uttcranco nnd project of the country s leading steel magus te. To tho same in lluenco was perhaps traceable tho weakness of tho Trunk lino rnllroad stocks, tho mng nato'H projects, belurr reported to Include tho construction or a railroad lino from Chleano to tho seaboard by way of Pitts burg, In order to secure satisfactory freight rates for Pittsburg. Pennsylvania and New York Central wcro both off about 2 points. Although tho market generally gave way In the late dealings, In sympathy with the break In tho steel stocks, there wto ex amples of strength In tho earlier part of tli3 tlav The Brio ttocks were generally and persistently strong and the grangers and l'neitlcs wero ut one time higher than las. night.

Sugar was erratic and dropped 4 points from the enrly advance, closing with a not loss of 314. Tho break In sterling exchange this morn ing mndo It evident that gold would not ro out immediately und this had an effect 011 tho early strength of the market. Tho money rnto ran up to I per rent Just b'foro tin elo-e und reports wero current of snmo enormous borrowings by tho Pennsylvania railroad 011 account of Its purchases of stock of other railroads during tho hist year. A Philadelphia dispatch placed the nmount railed by tho company slnco Jan uary 1 us high as $50,000,000. Payments on account of the Pennsylvania Coal company nre also In progress this week, luvolvlin; scmo very heavy llunuclal operation1.
