securities dull and higher. The general
4 character of the stork market during the fore
noon and up TO IL 80 O'Clock was one of more
streDgth than for the psst three dsys. The
break in prices, which was led of by a drop
in Chicsgo Burlington and Quincy yester-
day, was recovered on q majority OF stocks
except Chicago Burlington and Quincy,
Milwaukee and st. Paul, Illinois Central,
and Northwestern; all of which were still
below the highest prices of yesterday. Afier
1890 o'clock The market WAS dull, though
somewhat irregular, until O'Clock. Prices
frat declined ] to per cent, then advanced
] to { per cent, hen declined to per cent,
which decline was recovered Just before
o'clock. 10 ne last hours business the stock
market wss generally weaker, and during
the last 45 minutes prices declined 10 II
per cent, the weakest stock being Wander
bilt en- ares, which were affected by rumors of
disagreement among the trunk lines, but
tor which there seems 10 be no founda-
ton. The general list lost to l per cent.
OF the advance which was made between
1890 and 2 o'clock. Denver declined in the
last hour FROM 42s TO 4ls, Delaware, Laeka-
wanna and Western from 1898 to 1884, st.
Paul from 1868 to 1865. AT the close the
general list was weak. The reports of the
buying of Denver and Rio Grande on foreign
orders were net credited in some quarters.
The Delaware, Lsckawanna and Western
Railroad Company declared the usual dvi-
dend of 2 per cent, payable January 10th.
The earnings are stated by officers OF the
Company at ii per cent. A Boston dispatch
to the POSI- says: "The slight furry in Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy was caused by
misleading statements which has quite sub
sided, land the stock rallied to 123s, with
moderate selling" Closing Quotations.:
