railways weaker. Texas incomes fell off to 10%
and Texas Rios to 56. State securities were dull
ana share speculation feverish and depressed to-
day. Coalers Union, Central Pacific and Union Pa-
cific dropped from 40V<» at the close yesterday to
35W on a report that Charles Francis Adams, in
an interview in Chicago, said that the company
had not earned its dividend for the current quar-
ter and that none would be paid. The bears sold
stock heavily 011 these reports. Late in the day
the following was received at the Union Pacific of-
fice, this city:
The reports are made out of the whole cloth and
are without foundation. You can safely make
such denial as you deem expedient of everything
alleged to emanate from us. F. L. Ames.
Central Pacific dropped from 42% to 39% in sym-
pathy with the general list, which was well sup-
ported during the first hour business, and a few
shares showed an advance of % to ^ per cent., but
subsequent attacks on coalers aud Pacific stocks
weakened the market, and in the last fifteen
minutes business a moderate buying movement,
set in. and prices rallied to 1J^ on
