closed at 1881. The market is quite steady and cash
sold scarce. The deliveries have been made slowly,
and the market is in position TO rise upon smalpur-
ehases. Government Stocks are all stronger with q
large increase Of business at the Stock Exchange
the registered sales reaching 81 100000. At the
close of business 520s could not be had under 100
For 1905 the inquiry is steady, and the number OF
ANAL takers is on the increase. The general share
list was stronger and in some cases much excited,
Enc selling as high &C, cash, receding to 81 and
closing at 57a, at the Second Board. This
stock still largely oyersold and high rates paid
for its temporary use. The Western list active
and 81 paid for Southern common, s. for Rock
Island, and % for Reading. At the Second Board
the extreme prices Of the morning were not sus-
famed, but very substantial advance is shown
over yesterdays rates, with a strong disposition TO
buy for fresh rise. A good meDy bulls who
bought at last weeks low rates, and realized their
profits, are now taking their stocks back at this
afternoons reduction. After the Second Board

In addition to the increase Of National
Bank issues. The decreased price Of stocks
md commodities makes two dollars perform
Che task Of three short time since, and there
promises to be glut of money, which will soon be
felt upon the Stock Exchange in tho form Of cheap
call loans, and consequent speculation for use.
