GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Jan. 20 .--Goyernmenth bonds
active and steady.
Railway bonds continued dull In SYM
pathy with stocks. Prices were weak in
the forenoon and strong after midday,
resulting In irregular changes as com
pared with the last previous quotations.
1t IL announced that the papers In the
foreclosure proceedings were served
on the Lake Shore officers
here and copies sent 10 the West last
week for immediate action.
Stocks opened weak and very irregular.
The first prices showed losses ranging
between I and II, except Louisville &
Nashville, which WAS higher The sales
during the llrst half hour amounted to
1854 shares, the dealings being accom-
panied by decided feycrlshness and
general irregularity among the active
stocks. Early In the day there was an
impression that the sudden death OF MIR.
ID. l.. Morgan would necessarily result in
throwing large amount OF stock on the
market, Later statements were to the
effect that provisions had been made for
the carrying oi such stocks as
he had directed at his death. This
led TO frmcr tone, and the strength
was further aided by reports OF the
earnings by the Granger roads for the
eddy showed slight gains where heavy
losses had been anticipated. A deter
iniAed buying movement led to n decided
advance In most OF the active list. The
movement throughout the day, however,
was more irregular than II has
been for some time past, and
later in the afternoon the mar
ket became heavy, losing fractions
during the last hour The market closed
dull and heavy Quotations as rule are
iractionally lower than Saturdays clos.
ing. There are, however, a number OF
exceptions, including Lackawanna, which
shows gain OF l., Delaware s. Hudson
Louisville e Nashville IL, and st. P,u
II There was persistent selling in West
ern Union all day, under which the stool
yielded from 70i to CSC, closing with ne
loss Of Ia.
