reacted a fraction-St. Paul s. Manitoba and

diana, Bloomington & Western closed at an
advance of ~ per cent. and the general mar
ket closed strong. The stock market, which
was sold down Yesterday and this forenoon
largely, In expectation that Sl.000,0o0 in gold
would be shipped tomorrow, has been strong
this afternoon because 1t is now almost GER
tain no gold will be shipped. A good deal of
stock sold was for ''short account" and has to
be bought back again. The downward re-
action in the market was encouraged by the
leading spectators, except In such stocks as
Lake Shore, Western Union Telegraph and
Missouri Pacific, which were not permitted
to drop below schedule prices. There is now
more of disposition than there has been for
several months to buy stocks on every re-
action, and a good deal of the ''short" stock
sold yesterday and to-day has been taken by
those iu and out of the street who believe in
much higher prices during the coming
months. Some stock was bought to-day for
foreign markets. One good authority says he
understands the market will be turned from
strength to weakness by the shipment of large
blocks of Western Union Telegraph stock
bought for syndicate in London, whose chief
members are connected with the cable COM
panies.
