the more active stocks. Lackawanna, North
ern and Pacific Mail were the exceptions, by
selling lower than at the opening, and they
did not fully recover the losses before the
close, but in the last hour the general list
rose to about the highest prices of the day,
with the exceptions indicated, and of Lake
Shore, which was heavy most of the after
noon. The total business Of the day was
larger, with one exception (Tuesday), than
on any day since May Is. The street is grow
ing day by day more fully to believe that
some Of the leading operators who have been
on the bear side of the market
for a long time past, including
the Cammack- Woerishoffer combination,
arc now actively buying stocks and it is
claimed that after they secure their line OF
stocks 1T is reasonable to believe there will be
much better chance to settle the difficulties
between West Shore and New York Central,

movement, as the railroad fight is the most
serious obstacle to a general bull campaign.

among active stocks being made by New
York Central and New Jersey Central. There
were many orders in the market this morning
to buy the Vanderbilt stocks. Western
Union, Missouri Pacific and Manhattan
Consolidated sold this afternoon, ex-dividend.
Among the less active shares the feature Of
the day was the advance in Manitoba, which
made q net gain of 4 % per cent. There was no
well-defned reason for this sudden advance,

trader to cover his short account. Omaha
preferred is also up ~. There was increased
activity in Canadian Pacific, on reports that
the Canadian government would buy S9,0OO,-
900 worth of its land, which would be suff-
cient to enable the company to complete the
