The stock market to-day was a limited one.
Fluctuations we're very narrow and the volume
OF business small, but all through there was a
Quiet und artone of strength that showed on the
surface whenever any buying orders were exc
cuted. The feature of the market was the
small supply of stocks, and several attempts by
bearish traders to buy back shares sold early
IN the week were abandoned on account of this
scarcity. Most of the news was of a bullish
character and developments in the trunk line
situation and reports from southwestern roads
we're favorable. The holiday in London partly
accounts for light transactions In the last hour
sharp squirt occurred in Delaware and Hudson
San Francisco preferred, Cotton Seed Oil certih-
Gates, and those securities led the list in the ad-
vances recorded for the day. The total sales of
stocks were only 1900 shares. The net results
OF the days trading are advances Of per cent.
~ Delaware and Hudson, San Francisco pre-
ferred, and Cotton Seed. Changes in the rest
are for small fractions only, mostly advances.
