Calumet today to

New York, Aug 1G. There wui no cessation in the upward movement of the Harriman stock in the early trading today. Union Pacific started off point higher than yesterday's last sale and continued advancing until it had reached ICJT. Southern Pacific followed very closely, opening a point higher and selling at 8 2 "a. The buying of these two issues was on the same enormous and aggressive scale us-- during the past two weeks. The directors of Union Pacific are supposed to meet today to take action upon the forthcoming dividend. Should they fail to increase the rate, it wiii in

a great disappointment to some of the optimistic bulls on the property and will undoubetdly induce considerable selling. Pennsylvania was again taken in hand by the manipulators who have been prominent in this stock recently. They bid the market up fiom 137 y2, last nights closing price tc 139 and a fraction without creating any particular excitement. The shorts in St. Paul were given a small scare during the lirbt hour of the session. Finding little Mock for sale, th?y made an effort to buy back their short contracts. Thiprocedure resulted in making a new high record for this security on thib bull movement, selling at 19 0. Aftei the shorts were pretty well run in, the market quickly eased back, sell

ing under 188. The action of St. Paul gives credence to the views expressed by a great many traders, that it is entirely a professional market, without outside influences. In the last hour of the session, on the announcement by one of the directors of the Union Pacific that no statement would be given out today as to the dividend action, a reaction began which extended over the entire list and even the Harriman issues, Union Pacific and Southern Pacific, lost the major part of their gains. The market closed with a decided weak undertone and possibilities for future recessions. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
