Stocks-The MARKET in the forenoon de-
veleped a very decided weakness, becoming
almost panicky. Between moo and o'clock
the market was steadier, with fractional
recovery in prices. In the last hour the
market was strong and prices generally ad-
vsnced, several stocks making the highest
prices Of the day. At first, after o'clock, the
market was rather dull, hut showed increased
strength. About 2:15 o. clock it became more
active, and there was an upward movement
in prices. At about this time there were
several lots of Lake Shore bought
in under the rule that the stock
had been sold "short'' several days
ago and not delivered; yet the whole
market then took an upw ard turn, Western
Union, Northwestern, De laware, Lackawsn-
ma and Western and Missouri Pacific ad-
vanciug 1G3 per cent. This advance left
The general list 4@14 yer cent. below last
nights quotations, the greatest decline being
in Union and Central Paci6cs. The market
closed strong compared with the forenoon,
the lowest prices to-day being the lowest for
the year. The Eoenirg Fost says: "Consid-
ering all effort and talk on The bear side,
the decline was not so great as most persons
may have supposed, except in the case of
the Union Pacific COMPANY The lowest
prices to-day compared with those at the
close of the year were Union Pacific III
