GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS ANp BONDS.
New YORK, Feb. 9. - Government
bonds were dull and steady to-day.
Railroad bonds less active with an up
ward tendency.
Stocks were very active but were more
or less feyerish and Irregular. Prices at
tho opening showed changes ranging
between an advance Of and a
decline Of an equal amount for the
active stocks. During the greater part
of the forenoon the market showed con-
siderable weakness. raid was made
upon Northwestern driving the price
down per cent from the opening, which
was lower than It closed last even
ing. Union Pacific and Louis
Vile & Nashville fell each,
Western Union \ and others smaller
amounts. The decline was checked
shortly after / O'Clock, but the market
continued irregular and unsettled until
after midday. The important exceptions
TO this general rule were Lackawanna
and Delaware & Hudson, which were
strong throughout, the former selling
up In the forenoon TO 1871
and after touching 1864 advanced
in the afternoon 10 1881 In the last
hour IL sold OFF and closed at 1874 net

gained In After midday the whole
market responded to the strength mani
tested in the coal stocks mentioned; Lake
Shore, Northern Pacific preferred,
Omaha aud the GrpngeM being
conspicuous for their strength,
In sympathy, however, with the
coal stocks. They closed generally lit
tie below the best figures, with an advance
ranging from small fraction to lsc. The
market was decidedly Irregular late in
the afternoon, but closed ABOUT steady.
There were many rumors aHoat of cuta
in oast-bouud freight rates, but the street
was well supplied later with positive de-
mails. Tho other news, except re-hasl
Of former stories, especially the Lehigb
Valley proposed combination, was unim.
