This is the result OF six months-July 10 Decem-

To-day's stock market developed the character
OF Yesterdays business. While there was mucn
nonsense talked about the dulneSs OF the coal
trade, and IL was alleged that because OF it real
holders were the sellers of the coal stoclu, this
mornings loan market recorded an unusual borrow
ing demand for all the active coal stocks. Before
night came, irrespective of the dulness in the
trade and the estimates that the warn spell
reduced the consumption OF anthracite 100000
tons per day." or at the rate Of 390O0O0O tons
Der wear (the total amount marketed In 1888 wes
5s.l45 600 tons) the buying was rather urgent SO
that the final sales OF the stocks were at the
highest figures OF the day.
ST. Paul continued IN good borrowing demand
renewals and early new loans were made nat Dut
a few later borrowers paid l-64 per cent premium
for the use OF the stock. And this stock after
being pressed at "a 5-S finally sold at 60 Ia
The whole market for the greater part OF the
day was intensely dull. But neither wind nor
attack by sales brought out any long stocks
London was quiet and home buyers were dis
posed 20 see how far down prices would be pressed
during the dulness before taking an active part
The later activity and advances were principally
due 10 efforts TO recoup contracts put out yes
terday and this morning. The railway earnings
continue 10 make good show1ngs and they are
compared with the large earnings OF year ago.
The Tribune tables giving the earnings Of three
years establish this fact and disputes the idle
assertions that the present earnings are com
pared with a poor period. The market closed
strong.
