THE STOCK MARKET STRONG.

The stock market was strong, and at times active
and buOyant. With few exceptions the share list
showed a further important advance In quotations,
particularly at the second last call, succeeding
which the market became quiet and prices under
went q very natural reaction after the recent
smart rise. The chief incident or the day was
the failure OF three operators for O decline, who
fell victims to the insdious and malicious,
teachings OF the defamatory circulars and
other jaundiced literature which the spectators
have been employing in order to delude the street
into selling stocks. The luckless bankrupts were
.shortn OF Lake Shore and Rock Island, which
they rad sold at 81 and 104 respectively ON the ad
vice Of men who told them not long since to buy the
same stock at 102 and 1926. The extreme prices Of
the leading active shares were as follows:--

who was formerly Treasurer OF Massachusetts,
brought bill In the supreme Court OF tha, State
for an injunction restraining the plaintiffs In error
their agents. from the further Drosection OF their
business as an Insurance company until the pay
ment OF tax OF four per cent upon their premiums
OF 1854. The tax was exacted under q law OF the
State, imposing II upon all contracts made IN tile
State OF each ire marine and fire and marine insur-
snce oompAny incorporated under the laws OF any

grounds that the citizens OF Massachusetts MAY

payment OF such tax; that under the constitution
OF the United states citizens or other States may do
the same being eniitled the same privileges and
immunlties in Massachusetts as ciLlHens OF thai

"WEDNESDAY. Jan. l1-6 p. M.
On Change to-day wheat was frmer. but inactive.
Cotton was heavy, but without change In price.
There is considerable discussion among the cotton
brokers over the projected purchase Of the Stock
Exchange building and removal thereto Of the Cot
ton Exchange, which Is now occupying c!rcum-
scribed quarters, with prospect OF still greater
inconvenience In the future Judging from the grow
ing annual business OF the board. All circumstances
point to New York as the great cotton CITY or the
world, and hence tine agitation OF an appropriate
Exchange building Is wise and timely,

day tho rate on call loans was generally ak per

paid In exceptional instances Commercial paper

TIE GOVERNMENT PURCHASE OF BONDS.
The government bought million or flye-twenties
IN pursuance OF the Treasury programme for Janu-
ary. The offerings were 900 at prices ranging
from lex interest) 107.al TO 10sS0
GOVERNMENTS BARELY STEADY.
The absence Of quotations from London the lower
ruling or the geld premium and the moderately
large offerings of bonds at the SuhTreasury deprived
the government list Of Its late firmness, and prices
were fraction of, with the tone Of the market
barely steady. The changes were unimpsrtant
