The stock market to-day developed little that was
new. although il was more than ordinarily active
for day following Christmas. Its chief character
istic was lack of any decided inclination for prices
10 grow better or worse. Its principal feature
was found in Ere stock. which recorded
greater amount of transactions than
any other stock. and first from 20as to 81 a
and then reacted to 2Ol9 at the close. The North
west shares, as usual, were conspicuous for the de-
ter ned support that was given to their prices
but after advance from opening figures of l2 per
cent and from lowest figures of 7s per cent OH the
common stock, and on the preferred stock
an advance Of % per cent from the lowest
price, the common stock closed at Il per
cent below first figures, and the preferred only IL
higher than its first price. The St. Pauls however,
steadily strong all the way out IN the face Of
reported earnings for the third week of December
which show that TIA miles of road earned during
the times named $S,749 less than 1.412 miles of
road earned for the same week of 1877. The
VanderhiIt railroad shares were dull and staadR.
