THE STOCK MARKET.
Speculation at the Stock Exchange to-day was
dull and somewhat feverish because OF the I'M
certainties of the outcome OF the strike question;
II was recognized that to-day was the cTitlcal
period that the casting of votes at 1erre fiaute
will decide whether or not battle OF large pro-
portions is 10 be waged 10 deny the right OF en-
poyers TO hire and discharge employees without
the interference of any outside people be they IN
divduals combinations OF capital or organized
labor. The steadiness, if not the firmneSs OF
prices was evidence Of the consensus OF opinion
among the real holders of securities. In the
street the fact Of the doubt used persistcntly
TO effect depression, without avail. But II dld
serve 10 check new operations and reducf tnc
dealings Of the two hours to 67,l65 sharcs IN INC
general department and TO 1895 shares In the
unlisted department. The bank statement IN It's
result TO the surplus reserve was better than gen
orally was expected. The market opened gen
orally better than last evenings figures, reacted,
made advances 70 figures higher than last night
and again reacted at the end, closing STEADY
