NEW YORK. Mav 51 Tl,.r tvn a allll further decline In activity In the stork nur ket today, the aggregate sales falling to n llguro that has not been touched befnro In many months, Even the diminished volume or nusiness was largely centered In n texv atorks, notably Union Pnclflc. That stork spi med to have a dominant Inllllenro on the whole niHrket, and the evidence tlnil It was supported turned the market from the early weakness. In rnntlnuancc of yester day's downward movement, nnd llftnd prices to a higher plane, except for n stork nrrc arm mere, wmcn did not move In the Into tradlnir. The nuturn nf Ihn Imoltira Is Indicated by the example of several stocks today. Union Parlllc was sold yes terday on reports of nn nddtttonal Issue of ronvcrtlblo bonds to finance the Northern Pacific stock purchase. Today the fact wns confirmed that the company had applied to wic niucn rxemtuge 10 list the additional bonds, yet Union Paclllc ruse nt one time 41i over last nlcht. Missouri Paclllc was weak yrslerdnv on the mniomont ilmi iim expected dividend would not bo declnred nt once, ii.riy the directors met without act ing on the dividend; yet tho stock ros? 4 points over the enrlv low iwilnt. Tlw buying by railroads and ciipltnllsts to effe.-t I'liuiiKcs in various railroad systems which uns supposed to make tip the bulk of Iho buy'tig In the boom market, when dealings ran between 2,om,(niO and 3,00O,iji shnres a day, : also Inconsplc'Jous, although rumors of such dealings continue to piny some par', esticclnlly In Union Pacific, which Is credited by the newest rumors with secur ing an Interest In St. Puul. Tho strength of the Toledo, St. Louis & Western stocks Is accompanied by Inltimattnns about the exchange (hat the buying Is for Vanderbllt account, with n view to elimination of com petition. The old story of n consolidation of southwestern roads was revived today In connection wnn tno rauy in .Missouri Pa clllc. Tho continuation of the Injunction against Amalgamated Copper's merger projocts accounted for the early weakness of that stock.

The receipts wero the heaviest of tho yenr, but still tho de mand was equal to the occasion and prac tically everything was sold early In the morning. The bulk of the hogs sold from $5.65 to j.'..i'ii, with some of tho better grades at $5.7214 nnd from that up to $5.77H. It took a choice load of hos, however, to sell over t6.6"14. Tho lighter weights went from 15.65 down, and, as usual, were neg lected and In most cases were left until tho last cnl or ttm market. There was not much chanru i" the market from start to finish, as good hogs on the close sold for .is much as they did at ntiy time during the day. Representative sales: No. St.... 92.... 90....
