The stock market showed much less activity
to-day, but prices were firm to strong, with
very little interruption throughout the day.
There was some II alZing as usual on Satur-
day, but 1t had very little effect upon prices,
The news Of the day WAS meagre and excited
lutte influence. Western Union and Lake
Shore attracted most attention amongst the
gctiVe stocks, and the latter was specially
active and strong IN the last hour, wnen the
advance in the general list had been checked
among the inactive stocks. The Southwest
ern roads werO all higher, among which Mo
pile and Ohio became conspicuous. The mar
ket opened irregular, but generally heavy,
though changes were for small amounts eX-
oept in the case of Pacific Mail, which was
up a per cent. There was moderate business
only, but prices were firm. and so lnued
until the last hour, when liberal reelizations
checked the general advance except tor st.
Paul and Delaware and Hudson, the latter
being aided by the rumOr that the next divi-
dcnd wOul be at an increased rate. The
market finally closed steady to firm at or near
the best prices reached. Final prices almost
invariably show advances, and st. Paul and
Duluth is up ~, Lake Shore l3z, Richmond
