REVIEW.
The market during the forenoon was even
duller and more uninteresting than any pre-
vious day Of the week. Traders showed
disposition to await the holidays. Outside
operators are expected to fight shy until after
the holidays next week, hence tho stupid
character of the speculation. The same con-
ditions are expected to prevail tomorrow,
intensified, perhaps, by tho absence of
brokers and traders who will leave the street
early or not visit it at all. No changes
worthy of mention were noted in tho general
list. q. Q. G. and l. was weak on sales of a few
hundred shares. ia' HetvTlh'' e
Loaning rates for stocks unchanged. Gov
ernments strong. Sterling was weak, and
declinced after 12 o'clock.
Between 12 o'clock stocks rallied to !, tho
latter on Northwestern common from tho
lowest and there was slight activity in tho
general list. Late on the second call the tone
was again weak, and at 2 o'clock prices were
to / below the sopening on free selling,
which to-day has been better than the buying.
Michigan and the Vanderbilts generally were
heavy. AT 215 matters were practically at a
standstill, and the market continued feeble
and stagnant until the close.
