WEDNESDAY. Feb. 27, p. VI.

To-day's stock market developed little more than
a purely local trading although the transactions
(4O5 s5 were So 900 shares more than yester
dav Two or three stocks evidently were the recip-
tents Of determined support, but with the general
list traders moved prices up OF down within
narrow range OF fluctuations as suited their whin1
sical operatrons. The result of the days
business IS a lower range of values for the whole
list. excepting for two OF three stocks. Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western, st. Paul and Union Pa
