SToCKs-The stock market offered some
violent contrasts, changing in one hour
from extreme activity to midsummer dull
ness and from decided weakness to great
strength. Nearly half of the days bust
ness was transacted in the first hour, after
which period of extreme dull
ness was succeeded by a moderately
active market, the business of the day
finally footing up a fairly large total. The
opening was again extremely weak, the de-
clines from last evenings figures ranging
from I to II. In early dealings Reading
was conspicuous with dropof II. The
decline was checked in the first few min
utes, however, and strength as decided as
the former weakness was soon displayed,
material advances over the opening
figures being established in the first hour.
There was a decided lull in the activity
shown upon the elimination of the first
advance, and the market became positively
dull in the afternoon, prices remaining
steady to firm in the meantime, but to-
wards 2p. m. the upward movement was
again resumed, accompanied by large
business, and the market finally closed
s trong atabout the best figures of the day.
