NEW YORK, February 6.-The stock market
while dull, displayed urdoubted strength to-
day, and that in the face OF unfsvOrable sdvices
from.several sources, and prices are left frac-
tionslly higher in most cases. The news of the
morning was calculated to have very depress'
ing effect upon values, and the reports from
the other side OF the water caused free selling
by European houses but there were supporting
orders in the market, and more general COM
mission orders than have been placed on any
day during the past six months. The
extraordinary demand for stocks in the
loan crowd and the liberal borrowing indi-
Gated s very heavy short interest in all the
active stocks, and purchasing for both sides Of
the ascount kept the market moving slowly up
Whroa Inc later aQflCe6 nom IuIONt udu u re-
assuring eject upon the foreigners, and they
became buyers, while the unfavorable aspects
OF the Reading strike and the railroad war in
the Northwest, whose fereeness indicates that
1t will be of short duration, and little effect
was made upon the stocks most interested.
There was large inside buying OF Western
Union on the ground Of a heavy increase in the
earnings, out the other Gould stocks were not
SO firm, and considerable impression was made
upon Missouri Pacific. 1t is positively an
nounced that Mr. Gould will return, as at first
stated, by the middle of March, instead of April
as published this morning. Manhattan to-day
reacted somewhat from the depression OF last
week, and late in the day the others stitiened
mp. Laekawanna and BEADING were firm all
day long, and the dealings in st. Paul attracted
much attention, though the fluctuations were
small. Prices at the opening were down from
= to Z Der cent, and with the exception
of Missouri Pacific and Northwestern,
the entire list quickly rallied,
but after advancing small fractions
became dull and listless. Western Union, how.
ever. assumed the lead toward noon, and furth-
er gains were recorded. In the afternoon
marked weakness was developed In Union Pa
eifc, the traders selling 1t down until a stop
order was reached, when they jumped on it
the pressure was removed, however, il reacted
ana the final change is Insignificant, A hrm
tone marked the dealings for The entire day,
and the close was drll but firm at about the
best prices reached Final prices irregular
but generally higl er, and only frAetionslly
higher, except Manhattan, which is up q per
Gent.
Railroad bonds were quiet. Sales 81 ,12s 900,

ket was positively weak. though the declines
were not generally for important amounts. The
losses were generally made at the opening, after
which prices were well held, except in a few
special cases, but there no improvement
In quotations, and most issues are slightly
over this evening.
Government bonds were dun and steady.
state bonds were neglected.
