NEW YORK, an. The stock market was in the main strong to day and active at both ends. but dull and stagnant dur ing the interim, the result of the operations be- ing irregular changes from last weeks figures.

The bears used the great fire as an argument against the market, the inference being that securities held by the insurance companies would come upon the market and to this were added the reports or rate cutting n the West, but the ef feet upon buying was only temporary. The princi- pal interest was centered in the coalers and grang CTS.

A Wonderful Trained Dog.

There is wonderful trained dog on exhi- bition Ut Bunnell's Grand Opera House this week. It is the dog "NeP," owned by MT. Stratton, brother-in-law of the late Gener~ al Tom Thumb.
 'tNep" seems to understand everything his master says to him. Among the many tricks that-he performs the following are Q few: Lie down, roll over, walk up and down ladders, sit up, shake hands, sit up on a platform at the top of the ladder, sit up on the top of ladder holding a pipe in his mouth, stand upon his hind legs and walk and turn around. He lies on trapeze while it swings and then walks up and down on it. Last, but not least, is his leap. He mounts a small platform fixed on the top of a ladder slightly inclined, and at B signal from his master jumps about twelve feet through the air to MT. Stratton's shoulder.
