TIE stock market was active by spells to-day,
which alternated with periods OF comparative
dullness and the total amount OF business done
was about equal to the average for the week
There was more pronounced bullisb feeling on
the street, however, and there was freer cover
ing OF shorts than usual of late. The conference
Of leading bankers and railroad men ut Mr.
Morgan's house was great factor In the course
of prices, and persistent buying, presumably
for inside account, made shorts nervous, and
the bearish element seemed TO have become
materially less than during the earlier days OF
this week. No positive bit OF news was received
which could account for the change OF feeling
aud even the final announcement that the divl.
dend OF omaha preferred had been actually re.

RICE-The market was very duh throughout
last week and the only trading was in a local
way. There was no out of-town business, owing
to western buyers being out of the
market while taking stocks, which is
a yearly occurrence at this time. Holders
however, display quite firm feeling. and do
not feel justified in pushing business at the risk
of concessions, and in all offerings, while small,
full prices are required The total sales for the
week were about 800 barrels.
