GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
New YORK, Sept. 24.-The stock mar
ket to-day opened with quite little
boom in stocks which have led the mar
ket of late, and in which short interest is
b lieved to be larger than usual. The
demand of late has come principally
from shorts, und when that demand
slackened off to-day activity ceased aud
prices dragged. The market still retains
its almost exclusively professional char
acier, and when those operations ceased
dizziness and stngnation takes possession
of the market, just rs they did some
time ago before the extreme stringency
in money occurred.
In the afternoon dullness and stagna-
ton became intense.
The rumor that the tariff bill would be
called up in congress to-day was the oo-
casion of stimulation of trading in sugar
retineries ut higher prices, AMI the stock
was again the most prominent feature of
an otherwise barren market; il opened l
per cent. higher, rose per cent.

q material gain over its last nights

orally at small fraction better than
