The days stock market developed nothing moro
than purely local speculation, that was iitful
Irregular and errItc. and responsive only 10
influences that were made in the board room. The
two special features were the continued strength
in Union Pacific and tho weakness for Oregon and
Trauscontinental and Louisville and Nashville.
Arencwal of the upward increment in the early
dealings in Union Pacific impaired elieryescent
strength 10 the general market and there was more
OF less of improvement in prices al around. After
short time, however he mark Z cut loose from the
influence OF Union Pacific aud prices declined below
last evenings figures and continued heavy till
about fifteen inmates before the close
Of business. Tho ratification Of the
trpartite agreement by the full Board OF
the Union Pacific directors before accepted as
a fOrcg0ne conclusion. and its announcement had
no effect upon the speculation; in fact. after the
announcement the price of Union Pacific de-
clincd from 77's to 7Gi2 and the prices Of other
stocks interested declined in proportion. Early
Union Pacific advanced from 7Gas to Is H. and after
that held pretty steady at about 77l4a77l2 till it
suddenly broke to 7Gl2 but in the last quarter of
hour the price srapidly advanced to 40, andIt
closed at 7Sl, or u higher than last evening The
transactions in the stock amounted TO 81 600 shares
or nearly ono quarter of the days whole business
in stocks. The dealings in Oregon aud TranscOnti-
mental amounted to G00Jl shares, and its price
after an advance of - 10 3G4 declined to 3ili and
recovered to 3J5sa3Jl2 in the last hour. Tho
Northern Pacifcs rather quiet but their luctu
ations covered ranges of y and n per cent and
their closing figures show fiual gains of Il and
per cent. Delaware, Lackwanna aud Western and
Reading notably weak, but in common with
the general market made good partial recoveries at
the end, and the final rally enables the majority of
the stocks 10 show good or little better figures
than yesterdays close The market closed excited.
Government bonds were very dull, but strong
with Is advance In the bids for the 4l2s. Annexed
