of a negative character and had no real
effect upon the list. Operations are again
holding off awaiting developments, more
especially in regard to the granger roads The
opening prices showed declines as COM
pared with Saturdays closing figures, but
under the lead of st. Paul and New Eng
land the entire list moved up in the first
hour from small fractions to over 1 per
cent. There was no further strength shown,
however, as weakness developed In North
ern Pacific preferred, Louisville d Nashville,
Missouri Pacific, anda few others, and be-
fore noon the advances of the first hour
were wiped out entirely. Later in the after
noon, Manitoba, Atchison, Rock Island and
Wheeling d Lake Erie preferred and the
decline continued until close to the end OF
the session when on the covering OF shorts
put out in the early hours some slight re6ov-
cry was made. The market closed dull and
quite firm at the improvement. Rock Island
are lower, and Hooking Valley lost 81, Man.
itoba 3, Atchison and Northern Pacific pre-
ferred Ia per cent each, Burlington d Gum
cy per cent and others fractional amounts.
The railroad bond market was again very
dull. the sales only reaching S919,n0O. with
no animation in any part of the list. The
tone OF the dealings was rather heavy, and
the final changes are in most cases in the di-
rection of lower prices, though the import
ant losses are few in number, the greatest
being in Minneapolis y ST. Louis firsts, 3 at
90. Government bonds were dull, but firm
to strong. State bonds were dull and feature
less The total sales of stocks to-day were

supply instead of an increase lent strength
to the situation also. Sample tables were

vance ranging from l to &c. Early sales
were the lowest, and in the excitement prices
were very unsettled. Buying was active.

and rather heavy in the forenoon to-day, but
became very weak in the afternoon, and the
result of the days business was to leave the
prices of most stocks materially lower than
last weeks figures. There was a somewhat
better feeling on the street this morning but
the traders were bearishly inclined and
other interests were doing little or nothing in
the market, which has always been the bears
opportunity and the most was made of il.
There was spurt in Rock Island
at the opening on the impression
that there would be no reduction of the
dividend, but the bears circulated reports
later that the dividend would surely be re-
duced, and the stock gave way again with the
other western stocks which were treated in
the same way. The leading active and strong
stocks in the forenoon were New England
and St. Paul, the latter advancing over a
point, but London became q seller of Read
ing Louisville & Nashville and Northern
Pacific preferred, which started the list off,
and the stories of :. reduction in the divi-
dends on Atchison and Manitoba, were
started. which had the effect of depressing
the prices of those stock from . to per

the way of general distribution. Some Of the
