The stock market, while showing no decrease
in amount of business done, met with moder-
ate set back to-day, the lull in the bullish feel
ing prevalent for the past few days inducing
the bears to make demonstration against the
list The transactions in all except the three
leading stocks, st. Paul. Residing and Lacksw-

rest of the list There was more selling OF the
other coalers to-day. and Lackawanns became
specially prominent, though its final loss was
but fractional. Western Union was quite act
i've, but its movements were not important, and
no other active stocks showed any feature
whatever. Among the speeialties, however,
Fort Worth and Denver became very weak and
scored the heaviest decline of the day. The
opening was q1iet and steady and prices dis
played a hardening tendency which, however,
disappeared after the first hour when Louis

Prices began TO droop before noon, but there
was little progress made in the downward d.
rectior until toward delivery hour, when the
market became more active and decidedly
weak. The last hour was marked by no feature
and the close was duh and heavy at or near the
lowest prices reached. Almost everything is
lower, and Fort Worth and Denver lost Ia, St,

The railroad bond market felt the change in
the feeling on the street, and was not only less
active but became heavy as well, though 1t was
slower to decline than the share list. There

was made during the afternoon and business
slackened of appreciably. The result of the
trading is to leave prices irregularly changed
from last evenings figures though advances
are in a majority. Northern Pacific terminals

Government bonds were dull but firm. stlte
