NEW YORK. August l6.-The stock market
was a little more active to-day, especially in
the first and last hours, but between those
hours the duIlness was equal to anything of
late. The bears seemed to have exhausted
themselves in sharp drive at Atchison at the
opening, and after that time the market
showed strength in all its departments, though,
except in few Of the leading specialties, the
movements were on the same limited scale as
during the past week. It was noticed that the
bull leaders gave more support to their favorite
than yesterday, but there was also some buying
for the foreigners. and better attendance
was taken in the market
The Chicago spectators bought Chicago Gas
and took some of the Grangers which were
more active and stronger. The features of the
day, however, were the Cleveland. Columbus,
Cincinnati and st. Louis common and Wabash
preferred, the former making a rapid rise of 2
loss, and like the remainder of the list closed
finally at its highest point The opening was
quite irregular and generally only slight frac-
tions different from last evenings closing
prices, with the declines somewhat the more
numerous, the only important changes being
the decline of Ec in Atchison and the advance
of Nc in Kansas and Texas.
Improvement began Immediately, however,
and Atchson, taking the lead, rose per cent,
followed by Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati
and st. Louis and Rock Island. while the mp
though u per cent was the limit of the gains
made. Chicago Gas became favorite toward
noon and crossed &C. but the rest of the list be-
came extremely dull and SO remained until the
last hour without feature or perceptible move
ment in either direction. Wabash preferred
then led the upward movement, and more ami
nation was shown all over the list. The mar.
ket finally closed dull, but firm to strong and
at the best prices of the day.
Railroad bonds were still duller than usual
of late, the sales reaching only s693, 900. Posi-
ha lirui
throughout the day, theugh few Of the inact-
i've bonds showed some wide fluctuations from
the last previous sales. Illinois Central As of
1851 rose 2 Grand Rapids and indianapolis
general IS lost at 9315; st. Louis and Cairo As,
