WEDNEsDAY. Nav -. v.


While there hav-been days on which the amount
of transactions in stocks has largely exceeded the
business " today seldom Of late years has the mar
ket been more active and excited. With few ex-
ceptious buovancy was the prevailing feature from
the beginning 20 the end of the day resulting in an
advance for the principal stocks of from 3s 10 Al
per cent. The granger stOcEs-the Northwestern
and ST. Paus-suppanted Western Union in
leading the market st. Paul common,
closing at its highest price, showed an ad-
vance of Us per cent above its opening
figures and the preferred closed at SS5s 13 per cent
advance. Northwest common rose to 6355063la
aud the preferred sold at 9JG047s. c. C., c. and
l. was notably active and strong, opening at an adj
vance OF 2 per cent TO 46l2, and further advancing
to4qItaI9. OF the trunk line shares Erie was
stronger on q small amount OF business, and Lake
Shore was both active and strong selling up TO 70 ;
but Michigan Central, after selling at S1l2Gs2,
closed at s13i, the same as last night. Western
Union opened and closed at 1O5ai. the sales during
the day having been as high as 1895 aud as low as
1077s
The coal stocks were buoyant and closed at their
best figures showing advances of from . 10 27s per
ccut-rae latter for Delaware, Lackawauna and
Western, which, as usual, monopohzed the mdjority
Of the transactions in the coal stocks. The idea is
q grim one that the death of Judge Packer viii re-
move an obstacle in the way of new coal cOmbina-
ton; nevertheless it prevails, and Is used as an ar
gumeut for CHER prices for the coal stocks. Louis
vile and Nashville as an exception to the market
was weak declining 3la per cent to 65l2, and later
recovering to 672a The Hannibal and St. Joseph
stocks we're hardly as strong and closed a frac-
donal decline ~ did the stocks Of the StLOuis
Kansas CITY and Northern. Iron Mountain
after declining l per cent TO 2s. recovered
20 2sl2 Kansas Pacific was weak after
an early advance: while, On-the other hand Wabash
and Union Pacific were higher The stocks OF the
Ohio and Miss sslppi were barely steady. Concern
ug the recently proposed scheme LOT a IecoIstIuC-
ion of this company, 1t IS learned from trust
worthy source that Ike the preceding prop9si-
hons for lhe reorganization OF TINS company III lan
been rejected. OF the bullion mining STOCKS
standard, with more .acuVlty, recovered 2 Per
cent: HGutstake remaining lun al 80, ana tAe
RucAsligers steady at yesterday LAST hglIes,
The market closed excited and lrTegually suOng.
