EXCESS OF CAUTION Not Much Animation in Stock Speculation. PRICE COURSE UNCERTAIN Harrimans Are the Principal Fea tures of Strength, Union Pacific Touching the Highest Point of the Year. NEW YORK. Nov. 17. Th. character of today's stock market was much th. asm. as that of yesterday. Th. current of theprlce movement was not consistent at any time during th. day. The show of strength, which was considerable, was made np of successive advances of Individ ual stocks or groups of stocks. These suc cessive advances were alwaya concurrent with a sagging tendency In other stocks, aome of which had been conspicuously strong earlier in th. day. A market of this kind suggests artificial support at some points to facilitate selling at other points. The decreased animation of the specula tion wss attributed in a general way to an exceaa of caution and to the extensive rlso already achieved, which has reduced the rate of the Income yield on everything traded In. Conference, of traffic officials .to diacuaa proposed freight advances also af fected these stocks. There waa a movement of genera! in fluence In the Harrlman and Hill groups. Union Pacific, as usual, absorbed a large proportion of th. day'a total dealings. Ita rise to In3t carried It through the highest price touched during 1907. which wa. 183 In January. 'Today, price has been equalled only In excited .peculation in the atock fol lowing th. advance in ita dividend rate from 6 to 10 per cent, whiclt carried th. quota tion up to 1U3S on September 4. luoo. It. rise today, in which Southern Pacific kept It company, waa accompanied by revived rumors of a pending financial plan involv ing the distribution of assets or increased dividends. Th. executive committee, of the two roads met during the day, but ad journed with an announcement of only rou tine business transacted. United States Steel had alternate periods of heavlneaa and strength. This was true of practically the whole list, but with ex treme irregularity throughout the day. Bonde were strong. Total aalea par value, $.M3e.o0. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sale.. High. Low. Bid. Amal Copper 25.300 -vl -j ttf1.
