The New York stock market assumed a more
healthy tone this morning, which it retained during
the day. The most active stock the list was Fort
Wayne, which opened at SO. The purchases were
large both at the Boards and on the street most of
which evidently made to close short" con-
tracts The reluctance with which it was offered for
sale appeared to impress the bedrs with the great
probability of another 'cornermg operation" and its
advance was aided by the extreme desire to buy in
the stock irrespective of price. The condition of the
road is such as would at least. suggest the idea of

Rock Island was barely sustained at 120 New
York Central exhibited weakness in the after
noon. AT one O'Clock it was quoted at 921s, after
selling at 92s at the first Board. 1t became frmer
however towards the close, and changed hands Mt
92. Erie huctuated in consequence of the conflict
ing influences brought to bear upon it at tho different
Boards. 1t opened at 1925, and declined to Y at one
o'clock after which it rallied and sold at 724 at the
close. The Northwestern stocks each improved the

quoted at 5713 late in the evening.
State bonds were inactive and Mssouri's and Viz
ginias unchanged. Tennessees were sold at 90l4-an
advance of d since yesterday. and North Carolina:

Governments firm and in demand. Five
Twenties advanced to 104A. and SevenThirties

Gold was steady and in fair demand at 127 being

ant and call loans still average to per cenl.
