Establishment ot highest /prices of the your unite nnturally re* |fctri;tcd buying orders, and furtho* progress of rcaMzaUbn also had its et 'lect, and to a more marked degree, So [many wants have been supplied by ex [ tensive profit-taking in the last tew days that opportunities to close out. at the top wero less general to-day, -;nd the active issues were under pres? sure muchof the time. Recessions were comparatively small; however, and the ability of the market to tib porb offerings tinrl ho!<i the <op level pave an appearance of utfderlyins strength until the closing hour, when Chord was a sharp reaction; which re? sulted in net losses for mtihy of the more conspicuous stocks. Sporadic movements at various places through the litt gave 1 lie tnurket an irregular tone, while the Hill and rlnrriman stocks brid the Gould group wore ad? vancing, although they, too, chared in the decline at the close. The strongth of the Gould issues revived discussion of possible change 'n con? trol of these properties. In the ab? sence of any authoritative informa? tion, Wall Street is inclined; lo the be? lief that the Standard Oil interests will soon be dominant. Considerable attention was given Southern Pacific, Which also lacked contlrtnatlon that arrangements were tinder way which contemplated formation 61 a new steel co npany of large capitalization by In? terests formerly Identilled with tne> United States Steel Corporation. Tbo plan, it was rumored, involves the con? solidation of a number of steel plants, bet not with the idea to oppose the best Interests in the steel trade. The copper shares yielded much of their recruit gain, nfti r a further advance qarly in til: day. A hardening ten? dency in the money market was notetf to-day tor the llrst time.
