RAILROAD BoNDS-Firm and generally
higher, the Erie issues leading the inn
provement.
STATE BoNDs-Dull.
SToCKs-The market was strong and
buoyant during the greater portion OF
the day, and the tone of speculation was
much steadier than for some time past.
\ very firm feeling prevailed through
out the morning and during the early
part OF the afternoon. Under heavy
purchases, in which coal shares were
most conspicuous, prices advanced
steaSily until an improvement of t@44
pe&ent. was established, the latter Nash
vile, Chattanooga and st. Louis,
which sold up from 50! to -. Shortly
before the close the bears made raid
and put prices down t@2 per cent. in
the general list and 81 per cent. in Wa
bash, st. Louis and Pacific. But in the
final dealings the market recovered It's
firmness, and the closing quotations
showed a recovery of l@ls per cent.
There is much speculation rs TO the po-
sitiOn of the leading operators, and in
teryiewing seems to be the order OF the
day. Keene says he has not share OF
Erie, and thinks Vanderbilt stocks too
high. Vanderbilt declares he does not
own and never has owned a
share OF Erie, but expresses confidence
in Lake Shore and New York Central,
while Refus Hatch pins his faith upon
government bonds, wheat and cotton,
and advises outsiders 10 steer clear OF
what ne styles the "Chromos.'
