To say that the transactions in stocks to-day
amounted only to 1S9, 200 shares is saving that the
market was dull, although the business WAS done
in four hours instead Of the usual timo Of five
hours. At the opening prices generally were
shade better than at Saturdays closing. But this
quickly was followed by depression aud further
decline in prices, after which dulness was the
feature until .fter o'clock. After that hour there
was renewal of activity. and a general advance
