The stock market this morning was intensely
dull throughout the session. and fluctuations
correspondngy narrow, having little or no
Specification. The amount of business done was
the smallest since the Saturday half holiday
was established, while dealings were the tamest
seen IN many months Chicago had selling or
deTS IN grangerS, but no other interests scanned
TO have any interest in the market whatever,
though pools had placed some supporting or
ders IL pecaltes- Lack of support, however
was noticeable, and the bears were encouraged
70 put ont few limited short lines, which gave
transactions a sagging tendency, but outside OF
Manhattan. which declined n per cent. and
atterward regained the loss, and MIwaukee,
Lake Shore ard Western preferred, which de-
chned 112 per cent. on very limited business,
there was no feature whatever. First sales
were made at small concessions generally from

trading amounted to only $4,000 shares Every
thing is a shade lower. and Milwaukee, Lake
Shore and Western preferred lost 115 per cent.
