among them more than 40,000 shares of Western

stock? The bears still ta,k confidently Of a re-
action in their favor, but they now appear to
have been caught In their own trap, and caught
badly.
The most important news Of tho day was the
statement On good authority that there was
fair chance for the immediate settlement Of the
trunk-1ine difficulties. So far, it is believed.
the trunk lines have made more than they have
lost by the war.
At the close, stocks we're fraction below tho

was not significant. The tone of the market
was strong, and tho bears showed much more
uncertainty as to the future than the bulls.

Lake Shore was very active, selling up from

ST. Paul was notably nctiye, selling up to 1l47s

thar the business Of the road, according
to all present indications, will bo larger

been decreasing for years, that the common

that the new issue of $5,OO0,0O0 Of stock ut par
