Prime mercantile paper, 4s4@6l2. Sterling ex-
change dull but steady at 81. S4l2 for sixty
day bills, and S4.S7l2 for demand. The
market to-day displayed veIy little change
over those of the final days of last week, be-
ing dull but firm to strong, with no reaction
of importance and a little animation on the
rise. The interest in the days transactions
was centered in only four stocks: Reading,
Western Union, Lackawanna and st. Paul,
WITH WITH opegGn peiSa Transeontinental and
Some effort was made by the shorts
to get st. Paul down in the early trading and
rumors of a reduction of the rate of the next
dividend were. freely circulated, but with
little effect, and later the covering operations
served to bring the stock up among the
strongest on the list Lackawanna and
Reading were among the leaders of the
market and the latter sold at the highest
price yet attained, both showing a handsome
advance as the result of the days operations
The hopeful utterances of Mr.. Gould brought
the stocks bearing his name to the front and
Western Union was very prominent in the
upward movement, though the rest of the
group were comparatively neglected. There
was very light offering of stocks and tine de-
mand came from both the foreigners and co M
mission houses, the purchases by the latt er
being more marked than at any time of re-
cent date. There was considerable ambi-
vances extending to "a per cent, and under
the lead of ST. Paul, further fractional ad-
vances were established during the forenoon,
with but little feature to the dealings. Read
ing, Western Union and Lackawanna came
to the front after II o'clock, while the trad
ing in the rest of the list shrank to the small
est proportions, but the stocks mentioned be-
came more active and advanced further frac-
tional amounts, though no change was con-
ceded in the list, and no movement of inter-
est occurred during the remainer of the ses-
sion, and the market finally closed dull but
firm at about the best prices of the day. Every
thing, without exception on the active list
is higher this evening. st. Paul rose 1ss.
Reading LIS and Lackawanna L per cent.
The railroad bond market was again dull to-
day, though the total sales reached 81 1885,
600, of which S246, 900 were in the Reading
second incomes. There was little character
to the dealings, and most of the list show but
slight changes, and the few important differ
ences in quotations are generally in the di-
rection of lower prices. Government bonds
were dull aud rather heavy. State bonds
were quiet and generally steady The total
sales of stocks to-day were 206,034 shares,
