New York, Jan. 4.-After rather a firm
opening this morning, free selling of st.
Paul and Missouri Pacific caused some
what of q feverlsh feeling, and it was not
until the last hour that this disappeared
and prices improved sufficiently to change
the line completely. Notwithstanding the
favorable showing of Missouri Pacific
which was published with the signature of
Mr. Gould attached, ii looked for q time
as though it would fail of its intent, AID in
the face of it the stock fell to S71ao. Nor
thern Pacific preferred remains SO largely

trade in st. Paul, but it failed to make
any gain on the opening figures. North
western changed but little, though it would
not have been out of the way to look for
weakening, as the earnings for
the fourth week in December show fall
ing off Of $4,000. On the other hand
Alton gains $4,000, with sales of the
stock at 1881. Business was well dis
tributed.
There was much activity in the late
trading, and the prices brought out were
strong. The deal to-day shows much
manipulation, and to that may be at
tributed the upward turn which was not

orators for a permanent advonce, but
