The new week at the Stock Exchange opened
with a very dull market, in which the trans.
actions possessed little interest except to the
traders and soalpers. There was very little
news of character to affect values, though
what there was favored the bear side, ana q
generally bearish feeling was preva ent, and es-
pecially in the early portion of the day. The
usual food of rate-cutting advices was missing
to-day, but the news from the West was Of
scarcely less Encouraging character, though
the heaviest pressure from the bears was d.
reeted against the Vanderbilts, Canada South
ern and Lake Shore being affected most by the
raids. The transactions in the re-
mainder of the list was generally Of
a scalpiDg order, aud functions
were confined to the narrowest limits, most
stocks being traded in within a range OF less
than half per cent duriug the day. The coal
stocks were comparatively firm, and Rea ling
towards the close showed considerable strength,
but the others, with the exception OF Laeka-
wanna, were dull and featnreless. Milwaukee,
Lake Shore and Western pfd. was again weak on
a very limited business, but at the close showed
the largest decline for the day, q per cent. The
opening was very dull and heavy, and further
losses were sustained in ne early trading which,
however, were for small fractions only, with
Lake SaOre and Milwaukee, Lake Shore and
Western pfd. most prominent in the decline.
The movement was not of long duration, how
ever, although the declining tendency was no
tieeable throughout the greater part OF the day.
but the market became intensely duh after the
first hour, and few changes in quotations were
made. Better tone appeared later in the day,
however, and the close was dull but firm. The
net result OF the business is that almost every
thing is lower, though losses are confined 10
fractions only. The railroad bond market was
a little more animated. Sales, sI,257, 900.
Changes in price were unimporant. Govern.
ment bonds were duh but steady TO firm. State
qonds were fairly neglected.
