day free liquidation Of long accounts, which
prevented the general list from advancing
much The heavy sales of New England,
which all indications pointed to be for tn
side account, was also serious clog on
the bullish temper Of the room. The traders
were generally ranged upon the side Of
higher figures, and the expected important
meeting of trunk line officials to-day to ad-
just rates was a stimulent TO trunk line
stocks, and the Vanderbilts especially were
very active and strong. Lake Shore, Canada
Southern, Michigan Central. New York Cen
tral and the Nickel Plate stocks all made
handsome gains, which were held to
the close. The Gould stocks were
more prominent than for a long
time, and the inference Is that
Mr.. Gould is taking an active hand in their
affairs. 1t was again reported that the Mis-
souri, Pacific had secured the st. Louis, Ar
responded with rise of 2l2 per cent, while
the other Gould stocks and the st. Louis, Ar

terlally A few other speciaties displayed
marked strength, and Chicago East lii
nois, Manitoba, Chicago, st. Louis Il Pitts
burg and some of the Southern stocks made
advances. The coal stocks were active once
more, but with the grangers, they were slug
glsh and moved within a narrow range
throughout the day. New England, which
was forced off over a point, but recovered
to within a small fraction of its last nights

ton with loss OF y per cent. The market
was quite irregular and teverish, with gen.

strong and New England weak in the early
trading, and after fractional advance the
entire list retired to below the opening fig
ures: under the lead of Missouri Pacific,
however, the losses were regalned, though no
further progress was made in either diTec-
ton until after noon. The Nanderbllts then

advance was continuous until the last hour,
when the realiZatiOns sagged many stocks

siderable strength in spots, though the de-

The feature of the trading was the Fort
Worth & Denver lists, which were largely
traded in at advancing prices. The st. Louis,
Arkansas d Texas bonds were helped by the
reported alliance with the Missouri Pacific,
the DDS being especially strong. The
