GOVERNMENTS STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-There was
little more animation in the stock
market to-day, but it was entirely at
qyreuse Of values, and outside of less
tfau a half-dozen stocks of the regular
list and Q trusts there was even less
lusiness done than at any time since the
activity ceased a couple of weeks ago.
There is almost nothing doing in the
market by commission people, and room
traders are at present interested in Louis
Vile & Nashville, Northern Pacific and
enc or two others, and these stocks to-
5av monOpolized, by far, a.
greater portion of the business
done. Advantage was taken early in the
iay of the apathy of both London and
all domestic interests to raid the list ]
Through the entire forenoon the attacK
was continued, principally to sugar
trusts, and the price Of that stock was
hammered down from 81 Obs at open
ing to 9715c, against 81 .0238 last evening.
The movement, as was natural, attract
ed @ great deal of attention, and consid-
erabis speculation was INDUCED in as to
where pressure came from, hut large
store orders were met at about
rar. and selling was generally
attributed TO Insiders. The markeEclosed
g8iet to steady and firm generally at
snail fractions under first price The
lst is almost invariably lower.
Railroad bonds were dull and witiEafkfs
feature Of interest, and while it was in
dtaed to follow the share list, belngs
heavy in the forenoon and stronger later
in the day, final changes Of Importance
are very few.
Government bonds dull and steady.
state bonds neglected.
