New YORK, Aug. 6.-The stock market was
more active in spots, and developed decidedly
weak tone in the afternoon, during the preya-
lence of which prices were brought down to a
lower level than has been seen for
sometime For the present there seems no i'm
mediate prospect of improvement. First prices
were something better than last nights figures,
while further improvement was made in the
morning hour. The usual dizziness soon inter
vened. however, and the bears then got to work,
Burlingto on coming first followed by Reading and
others. The lowest prices were generally
reached in the last hour, and, money going up
70 ~ per cent, there was no reaction. The
close was fairly active and weak at the lowest
point. The list is generally fractionally lower,
but Burlington is of 2l per cent; Wisconsin
Central, per cent Chesapeake and Ohio,
per cent; Rock Island, II. per cent. and
Northwestern, Pacific Mail, Reading and Union
Pacific, per cent.
Railroad bonds showed dull business.
Government bonds dull and barely steady.
State bonds dull.
