STOCKS DULL AND INACTIVE
1t was the dullest day in six or seven months,
fba yail in no ahsan n a
being painfully apparent to the luckless and impa-
tient operators looking for an active movement in
either direction. The wider movement and the
more active dealings were in Pacific Mail, which
opened at 455S, touched 49, declined to 44a and lett
OFT at ASH. The general market opened steady
at last nights Improvement, but failed to
retain It, the excess OF dulness being followed
by slow decline, Notwithstanding the otherwise
favorable conditions Of the market-among them
easier money and further diminution of the in
nuences OF the foreign market Outside OF Pacific
Mail the changes in prices ranged from 4 to per
cent, the average being Il per cent in favor OF the
BEARS The feeling OF the market tended to this
side OF speculation but business was TOO limited
to furnish real test of the strength of the
| tending elements. Erie declined in sympathy with
the London quotation, and in precisely the same
proportion as Pacific Mail. Lackawanna was ex-
ceptonaby strong and advanced to 1885, move
ment which foreshadOws another dividend.
