It ma be predicted with entire confidence that Burlington and Rock Island will show quite as good figures however, and there Is every reason to believe that this group will continue to advance with the better market that is to .be looked for. A de cline of two to throe points has been reg ibtered in them in the last three dajs, but it was after an advance of five to ten points and the result contains nothing to be frightened over.
