Currency IS and Sis, weak on 10-40s, and

50, 500, 900. Stocks opened strong at about
the closing rates of Saturday Northwestern,
Pacific, Western Union, Lake Shore, Rock

during the present bull specu'ation This
was particularly the case with Pittsburg,
Western Union, and Pacific Mail The
above mentioned stocks were the features
of the afternoon, and the balance of the
list was up in sympathy, although there
were some active special movements in
Ohio and st. Paul Central, and Union Pa
