GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW ORR, Sept. 26.-The stock mar
ket to-day was, as usual of late, quiet
to dull for the general list, but active
and weak for a few stocks in which the
bears are making special efforts with the
hope of starting liquidating. In the rest
of the list the feeling to-day was rather
mixed, and it is undeniablethat some of
the weak-kneed bulls lost courage from
the readiness with which such stock as
Atchison, Union Pacific and some others
have yielded to the pressure. The gen.
eral list, however, while dull, displayed
the same old firmness, and even an ad-
vanoing tendency when let alone, and
responds very slowly to the special at
taeks upon certain stocks. The undertons
is undoubtedly strong, and prices show
disposition to seek the highest
level whenever the bear pressure is re-
moved. The news of the day was rather
of an encouraging nature, the signing of
the Midland deal and practical compile
ton of the tariff bill being the most in
fiuentlal factors in opening lower all
around, with sugar down "a per cent.
and while that stock was advanced per
cent. after fractional further decline, it
failed to reach last night IS prices at any
time during the day and also failed to
hold its recovery, and closed with ma
terial loss for the day. The general list
was pressed for sale in the forenoon, with
Atchison and Louisville leading,
but losses were generally for
small fractions only and later
in the day there was not only no pressure
of any account but considerable buying
for short account. For q rally, Pacific
Mail is the weakest point, dropping "a,
but while it recovered partially it later
went back to the lowest point again.
The market finally closed dull and steady
to firm at about opening prices.
Railroad bonds, dull.
Government bonds, dull and steady.
State bonds. barely steady.
