The speculation in stocks continued dull and
apathetic today The volume Of business was
somew hat larger than IL was yesterday but the in
crease in activity brought with it no new life or
spirit The stocks which have been leaders OF tho
market recently were little more active than they
were yesterday. Delaware, Lackawanna aud
Western yielded In the early dealings to 123, but
gradually advanced from that point to 1888
closing ut 1888. This example illustrates
the movement Of prices. The continued strin-
gency of money during the early part Of the
day caused fractional decline; tho lower rates
made in the last hour Of business resulted In COM
plete recovery. The most active stocks showed the
greatest gains, the limit of which was the advance
OF - in st. Paul. Western Union telegraph was IN
exception TO the general rule in closing 4 lower
than It closed last night. Its chief companion was
Reading which recorded ls final loss. Manhattan
Railway advanced from 40 to 434042. In gen.
eral the market closed quiet at nearly the best
prices for the day.
Government bonds were inactive. Although the
sales at the Boards were made at full prices the
fixed date issues each ls lower in the final bids.

Little, the librarian. The plan pursued has been In

file with the librarian letter of recommendation from
one OF the trustees other wellknown and re-
