The stock market to-day was again dull.
and fluctuations as rule were confined
within narrow range. There was some wide
fluctuations, however, in New Jersey Central,
Canada Southern and Union Pacific. The
general tone of the market was weak, which
was almost entirely due 10 heavy selling by
room traders, though there were some fresh
short lines put out by prominent bears. There
was some excitement IN Western L MON i'll the
early part of the day, and Louisville and
Nashville was conspicuOusly strong in buying
for foreign account. Nanderbllts and gran
gers were heavy throughout the day. St. Paul
being the only one which showed any activity.
Considerable strength was shown by New
Jersey Central up TO the last hour, which was
attributed principally to the covering of
shorts. The general weakness IN the market
is attrlbu ted to the efforts of the bear leaders
WHO have mace scare-crow of the possible
election OF Mr.. George, the advocates OF
higher prices in the meantime doing little or
nothing in the market. The opening was
generally firm, first prices showing advances
for the first hour for many weeks. Prices
were somewhat irregular and i'll some cases
feverish, being left at noon at about opening
figures. The market then became intensely
dull, except Tor a movement in New Jersey
Central and Canada Southern, but prices be-
gan to yield, and at the close, which was
steady, quotations were generally fractions
below the opening. New Jersey Central was
the only active stock on the list, and Ia - per
cent. higher tonight. Louisville and y ash
vile, New England, and West Point show ad-
vances of slight fractions. The remainder of
the active list is invariably lower. Manhat-
tan shows loss of Ia, Nickel Plate preferred
and Union Pacific each IL per cent. and 9TH
ers fractional amounts. Sales $4,000 shares,
