NEW YORK, FEBRUARY l4.-The stock market
to-day was the dullest ON record, while fuc-
tuations were quite in keeping with the lin
tied business done, most stocks being traded
in within a range of less than half per cent,
and no stock showed an extreme fiuctuation OF
more than Is per cent. The disposition is to
await further developments in regard to the
Reading strike and the Western rate war.
Standard Oil brokers were prominent buyers
of Reading, while Chicago sold st. Paul and
London did little buying of Lake Shore, but
there were no important transactions, and the
little life at the opening soon disappeared
There was feeble drive made at Omahas; ON
small sales it was hammered down nearly a
point, but no other feature enIivened the day.
The market closed very dull and about steady.
The entire transactions amounted TO 5000
shares. majority of the list is fractionally
lower, the declines extending to ~ per cent
only.

bales would put rates off q point or two, and a
little demand send them up again. the entire
fuctuation amounting to TO points between
the extremes, with the close a fraction above

tiuencing features from sources of supply or
foreign market, and most of the trading local.
though We noticed evidences of trifie
amount of outside business on both sides of
New Orleans. The bull element confines itself
to holding position against the decline"
