St. , Atchison, Steel, nia and Brooklyn Rapid Tran sit Prominent in the Dealings— Wall street heard this afternoon that the Northérn Securities decision would mot be handed down before next Mon- @ay. This following the statement of the Union Pacific steadied the market the gains being held to the clase, which wan steady but dull. ‘The Union Pacific shows gross carn- ange for January | eof 381. while net increased For seven months the grass/ earnings show an increase of $3,696,015! and the net 1,616,009.
