demand for wheat, however, nnd during
tho forenoon tho market dropped to 73c. At
thin llKUro commission houses bought

Tho full strength of tho mnrket wns by 110
means mnntrest In tho early dealings, al
though tho olltbnrMl In lbn 'WiiluiHli ne-
curltles had 11 fortifying effect. Tho ah-
Sorntlotl nf the Pnnnsvlv.-inlM. C?nnl pnm-

11 uoriiiniiing lnuueiico nnu wns iieineu ny
this morning's nunouiiccmont of tno nc
cesslon of very Important representatives
to tho Erlo board of directors. Tho effect
was not directly mnnlfest In tho Erlo
stocks, which wero reactionary on tirollt
taklng, but tho clear evidence afforded of
tho persistent policy among tho controlling
Interests of Important railroads towardu
connection nnd extension nt Inttuonco and
representation had a stimulating effect
throughout tho list. Tho coalers wero llrst
affected as being most Immediately con
cerned nnd tho movement spread to tho
Centrul Trnllln connections nf the trunk
lines and to nil minor or connecting rail
roads In which any community of Interest
or ownership could bo traced. It would
bo useless to try to specify or classify tin
final development of tho movement, ns
practically tho wholo market responded.
Even tho Industrials and specialties, which
hung back In tho early dealings, recovered
buoyantly to nbovo last night's close. St.
Paul rose nearly I points nnd a long list
of railroad stocks advanced from 1 to 3
points. Just what Is tho aourco of tho spe
cial movement of cash which has offset
tho week's outgo to tho subtreasury Is not
dellnltcly disclosed, but the belief Is nun-
oral that It Is connected with tho payment
of tho Standard Oil dividend, which was
duo tomorrow, nnd which nmounts to $10.-
000,000. Tho fact that Amalgamated Copper
wan almost mono 111 mnintaiiung a weaic

ernment Interest wero tho final effoctlvc in
