The Palatka daily news. (Palatka, Fla.) 1884-1888, 1888-02-10

NEW YORK, February 9.-The stock market
was again very dull. but the tone of trading
was much better than Yesterday, and losses
shown last evening about recovered. There
were less bearish news from the West, AMI the
attacks of the bears lacked the vim displayed
of late, for the market was somewhat of a
surprise, as there was no pressure of long
stock, and sales of yesterday seemed to have
been absorbed by the bulls. The born owing de-
mand for active stocks rather increased:
indications still larger for short interest. The
strong stocks were st. Paul, Western UnOn'
Reading and Wheeling and lake Erie. The
announcement that the directors of the last
named company had voted TO make the pres
ent stock preferred and pay a per cent. divi-
dend caused an advance from ELS 10 543l st.
Paul and Lake Shore monopolized the atten-
ton during the forenoon, and both were well
supported, though their fluctuations were con-
fined TO fractional amounts. Trading in other
stocks possessed no special significance. Among
the speci alties Milwaukee, Lake Shore and
Western preferred was remarkably strong
The first prices were irregular but generally
lower; the tone OF early trading was hrm. but
after "a few fractional advances the market
settled down TO inter stagnation, except for
activity in st; Paul and Lake Shore and move
ments in Wheeling and Lake Erie and Mil
waukie preferred. On constantly decreasing
business some weakness was deve oped in a
few stocks late. but the close was steady at
about the best prices. Total sales of the day,
10000 shares.

with further addition made to values, the at
tendance of leading bull operators apparently
taking care of the surplus Offering, was a con-
siderable factor in stimulating feeling, but
probably the most influence came from abroad.

very well supported
