NEW TORIC.Aug. 12. Operatera In the stock market today concerned themselves almost wholly with the affairs of the I'nlon Pacific. Rumors of coming financial developments In this property continued to circulate, but they did not serve to hold the general list of stocks against the pres sure uf realising sales, which are pushed constantly. On the Union Pacific stocks tnemseives the current rumors did not lack 'vigorous influence, as shown by the day's advance to 215 for the common stock and IIS for the preferred stock. It is said means might be found to retire the preferred stock. It is sp found to retire the preferred stock on terms advantageous to Its holders to clear the hit for the common stockholders' ex clusive claim to the proposed plan. The terms of that plan continued to be vaguely outlined and tha time of Its adoption in definitely Indicated In the rumors, while of authoritative announcement of the mat ter there waa none. The appointment of a commitee of officials of the company to consider a plan for segregation of the In vestment holdings of atock of other com panies was made some two years ago. A revival of tha discussion of the plan began when the rise In the price of Union Pacific had expanded It to a figure unwieldy for purpoaea of ordinary stock market activity. A substitution of a new security for part of the old stock was then urged as prom ising the advantage of greater facility In opea market dealings, even with no actual change In the dividend disbursements. Union Pacific's 10 per cant dividend now Is expressly designated as f per cent from the railroad operation and 4 per cent from Income on Investmenta. It was urged, furthermore, that an In crease In the dividends If alloted to dif ferent securities would not seem so sensa tional In a way considered undesirable by financial managers on account of arousing public sentiment. The general strength of the market at the opening gave place to a spotty showing of advances here and there, which tnlnned out until the Union Pacific stocks were left practically alone at the higher levels. The preliminary estimates ot the currency movement also gave ground for some hesitation In speculative exten sion. The growing demands of the Inte rior now for money are likely to shape the future of the money market. The general stock market became much unsettled in the course of the day and ran off weak all day with no definite dealings. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value, (r.484.000.

Packers indulged In 9 rather half-hearted effort at the opening to put a little crimp In the prlrellst and early trade sa a rult was a trtfle slow. On the other hand salesmen were not disposed to grant con cessions and a hen a trading casta was finally established It became apparent that buyers really wanted the goods, even at quotably strong prlcei. The market armd up considerably after the first few pens I, ad been d ared and practically everything was weighed up In go?d season. Fat sheep realised good strong pr!e on most sales As was the rase yesterday, packers were Inclined to give preference to handy weight killers and values, if any thing, were a shade higher on thla class of stock than on the heavier grades of aeth ers. Wyoming wether sold at 14 3.'4 60 Fat lambs continued to meet with a good broad demand and commanded prices that sere somemhat higher, quality considered, than yesterday. The generni market on young ktlleia Is right around strong aa com pared with yesterday. Quite a drc'nt string of Wyoming lambs brought 87.50. The Inuulry for feeding stork was as vig orous as ever and values on all classes were well maintained. The movement wss a -five and the market fully steady. A few cars of feeding wethers so d for 94 IV Lim ited supMles of feeder lambs afforded an Inadequate test of values, hut In view of the strength exhibited lateiy In feedet circles It was generally conceded that any- th ng suitable for reeding purposes would bring steady to strong prlcea. The market for the week up to date mows a little alder gap between gvat sheep ana lambs. The latter Is about a quarter higher than last week's close, while butcher sheep are about 10fll.Vs lower. Feeders have been In good supply on most flats, but the de mand has been fully capable ef absorbing even larger recelpta. Feeding sheep are fully strong at compared with last week's close and young feeder stock Is bringing prices not far from 169260 higher. Quotations on rat sheep ana isnios.

There were almost no fat cattle on sale this morning, at least not enough to make a showing on the market or to estabiun quotations. What little atuff there was commanded about steady prices, In fact the feeling was steady. A considerable proportion of the receipts consistel of cows and heifers, there being between twenty and twenty-flva cars of that kind of cattle on sale. The market did not show any material change. Pack ers all seemed to have use for the few loads here, and as a rule they picked up the offerings In good season In the morn ing. There were no feeders here to amount to much, but as usual at this time of the week the demand was not overly brisk, still there was sufficient inquiry to clean up the few loads at about sUady prlcea.

Dun A Co '8 Weekly Review of Trad tomorrow will ay: All branchea of business affected by the new tariff law are tspldly ad.l'istlng them selves to the amended schedules and the ending of the period of uncertainty ss to the rates of duty to be Imposed naa already had the effect of stimulating trade. Reports from all the Important cities in all the leading trades are most encour aging. In the Iron and steel trade each week serves to bring an Increased volume of business to the mills, and Is In greater request. Advices from the Industrial cen ters Indicate that working forces are being enlarged whenever possible. and retail trade shows mure activity as payrolls ex pand. Conditions In the steel trade, es pecially in the railroad division, steadily Improve, the railroads buying with In creased freedom. Liberal orders are re ceived for cars, but structural contracts are not significant, although considerable business for moderate lota continues to be placed. The dry goods trade has been steady and conservative, many retail buyers being registered In the large central markets, and Jobbers report a more general call for merchandise. Ready-to-wear and spe cialty houses are heavy buyers, but fleece goods and knit goods are In better de mand than at any time since the middle of the spring jobbing season. In the pri mary markets on cotton goods and yarns the uncertainty of prospects In raw cot ton Is still a factor In causing delay In naming prices on late delivery goods. There Is mora animation In the silk piece gooda division, and woolens and worsteds show no sign of recession from a very strong position. Reports of large ordera for cotton goods for shipment to the Philippines are confirmed. A very con siderable demand for burlaps Is a feature of considerable Interest as showing the slowly broadening general demand. The footwear market continues In a wait ing position, but the adjustment of the tariff schedules will lead to more activity, as some buyers have not supplied their fall wants. Some fall orders are received by mall and. although the amount of new buslnts continues moderate, forwarding of goods from Boston show sn Increase this week. The leather market Is some what unsettled owing to lower prices being made by some tanners on sole, while an accumulation affects the lower grades of side upper leather.

Aug. lJ.-Bradttreet's morrow will say: Improvement Is more manifest In general trade and Industry this week, but mere It still present the feeling of conservatism hitherto noted, which makes for small and frequent rather than heavy Individual sale. Developments have been largely favoiaole, chief among these the Increased artlvais of buyers In most markets, a greater disposi tion to take hold for fall and spring de livery, a very favorable government crop report, the continuance of the market s strength In security markets and the grow ing firmness of the time money macket. Trade with first hands In dry goods is tali. while Jobbing trade expands most rapidly and retail trade Is now engaged In digest ing the remnants of a summer Business. 'Hie railroad situation Is Improving and ide cars are disappearing on the wea.ern Hues aa the winter wheat movement enlarges. Industries are active, Iron and steel lead ing, with railroads reported buying freely of rails, cars and locomotives, 'mere is Increasing evidence of growing scarouy cf help in some sections, notably the coko legions, from which emigration waa heavy outing the depression. Collections show a little Improvement, but aa yet do not reflect the Influence of new crop marketing, possibly because of the farmers being busily engaged. Building Is active and liades catering to this lino are busy.
