In the stock market the week was one of unusual
activity and fluctuations and one tina vas C DIVIDED
with Inconsistencies. The i'm royenent in prices
noted mt the cl ~ of the preceding week made fur
ther Roadway during the first two days. After that
the marked was unsettled, aud prices were subject
to wide fluctuations. 1t is worthy of note however
that although each OF the succeeding days had their
shifp rallies anu their hours OF apparent strength,
the final prices last evening generally were some
fractions lower than they were the preceding
night. Yet the advances Of the first two DAYS of
the week were not fully overcome and the average
range of values was igher last evening than a week
ago. But tins was principally because of the ad-
vance in stocks that usually counted in the
aciive ilst Such stocks as Western Union, Missouri
Pacific, Missouri, Kansas and Texas the. Northern
Pacihcs, Denver and Rio Grande St Paul, North
west Texas and Pacific and Union Pacific are lower
than week ago. The coal stocks after advances
OF from TO per cent, close the week q higher for
Delaware, LaCkawanna and Western and l., higher
Tor Delaware and Hudson the Others beng IN
changed. Lake Shore, Central and Hudson and
Erie are higher than week ago, bat about
per cent below the best prices OF the
week, and Michigan Central after an
advance of per cent, closed per cent lower than
week ago. There was nothing ia the dealings that
indicated anything other than "A brokers Market"
Commission houses complain of u tack of orders.
Bat there was large liquidation of the short" in
terest, which contributed full share 10 the posi-
tive bnoyancy that at times was apparent. And
there was no lack M ruuOrs Ia fright
