The stock market was dull to-day while
movements in prices were confined to even a
narrower range than usual The covering
movement of last evening extended over into
this morning, and gave the market a firm ap
pearance in connection with limited purchases
for foreign account. The news of the day was
of a favorable character generally, and the
statement of LackaWanna was considered ex-
celleut, but nothing OF that sort had power to
move the market out of its rut, and dullness
and stagnation continued to be the leading fea-
lures throughout the day. The bears hammered
some of the active shares, including Reading,
Lackawanna, st. Paul, Union Pacific, Richmond
and West Point and Texas Pacific. In none
except the last two was there any impression
made, and that was almost entirely neutralized
before the close, when covering was again in
order. Lake Shore was prominent and dis
played strong front, as did also New England,
out the only marked strength was in Pullman
and some Of the specaties, and Pullman re-
day, closing at its highest figure. The market
closed dull but firm at fractional advances in
most cases over opening figures. The total
sales were $4,000 shares Pullman rose per
cent. and Peoria 13z, but changes in the rest of
the list were confined to fractions The follow
