NEW YORK, September 26.-The stock
market to-day showed little or no change from
the dulness of the past two weeks as far as the
general list is concerned, and although the
tone of the dealings was undoubtedly strong
the fluctuations were as small as ever, and the
realizations of the last hour wiped out many

and specialties was the feature of the days
operations, but the fact that the o'clock
prices in London were not above our close
made some suspicion that the buying orders
emanated from this side. Union Pacific at

march. The trusts were dull and fairly well

another dip, the pressure being specially severe,
and drop of 2per cent resulted, though the
others were quiet and steady throughout.
The irregularity of the opening figures was
succeeded by strength all along the line, and,
the foreign purchases becoming very marked,
the shorts were induced to cover some of their
lines. which kept the market slowly advancing
for the greater portion of the day. RealiZa-
