BALTIMORE, october Zo 1898.
The only activity in the Stock market TODAY
was in Northern Central Railroad shares of which
1850 sold at S22 regular way and sellers option and
S22H@S22s buyer GO days, an Improvement of so
cents per share the prices obtained on Saturday
This stock left off at S2lA bid, so asked regular
way. The recent favorable exhibit of the business
of the road has doubtless had corresponding in
iuence in advancing the price of the stock Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad was dull, with sales of only
so shares, buyers option 60 days, at S57A, closing
at S57 bid, S57M asked, cash, an advance of 81 on
Saturdays rates. Bank stocks are held very
firmly. Canton Company is without any move
ment, but has an advancing tendency, S2l1s being
bid. We again without any transactions to
note in any description of Loans or Bonds. There
are no regular dividend paying securities pressing
on the market, and this will doubtless be the case
so long the present prevailing in the money
market continues. Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
bonds steady for l875's S5I was bid, Sc asked;
lSS0's 81 bid; 1855 s215 bid. Northern Central

at 73. For Northwestern Sd mortgage unendorsed
33 was bid, an advance of l per cent, and for
dorsed do 674 was bid, SO asked.
The New York stock market, which has been
tending upward for some days past was quite
cited to-day, and material advance in both State
ana lancy stocks was experienced, the market at
poth ooards closing hrm. virginia D S improved 2;

The above statements indicate not only the natu-
raj increase IF tho ,ross roronro cor.onrort nnon

before the full opening to Sunbury, than prevail
ed the nrevious wear. This is shown bv the exbib-
