STOCKS DULL AND STRONG.
The movement at the Stock Exchange was less
active, Dut the tone OF the market was hrmer. and
prices underwent steady and gradual improve
ment, particularly after midday. The speculation
ran chehy on Lake Shore, at an advance from ss,{
to ok. the movement being attended with consid
cradle gossip as to possible struggle for the con-
troll or the next election, 1T which the

overcome the embarrassment occasioned by the
ssBoston Danicv and has been readmitted To his
seat at the Stock Exchange.
