STOCKS AND BONDS.
New YORK, July 9.-The stock market
seemed to have lost its animation to-day,
and trading was only half that of yester-
day, though the most confident feeling,
which became noticeable last evening,
continued throughout the day, and the
general drift of prices was upward, though
the operations of the bears and traders
made feverish and irregular market
during most of the time. The shorts did
not like the aspect of affairs, and there
was considerable bidding for stocks at the
opening. The first prices this morning,
aided by higher figures in London, were
from 18@R per cent better than last
evenings final figures. The weakest point
was trusts, and especially sugar, which
was sold on the expectation that the gene
raj term would confirm the opinion of
Judge Barrett, and stock was sold at one
time about per cent lower than last af-
ternoon. During most of the day the
day the general list presented little or nc
feature, and the market finally closed dull
and firm at something better than the
morning figures. There was larger mum
5ber of trades in railroad bonds traded in
to-day, but dealings we're for small
amounts, and the aggregate is smaller
than yesterday.
Government bonds dull and steady
State bonds heavy.
