GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-The stock market
to-day was more active than on any SIN
gle day for long time, and was feverlsh
and irregular throughout, with heavy
drives by bears against few stocks with
full and material rallies on most of the
list, leaving prices at the close irregular
ly changed with a preponderance of
losses which, however, are generally
for small fractions. Only shorts went
INTO cover at the low range of values and
Il smart rally was the effect in early trad
ing, thaTmprovem6nt over opening fig
tures e2nding to q per cent, with Bur-
,linI4&anu Changers leading in the up
wGsE movement, with Union Pacific,
eSRh American, and New England fol-
seSing. There was undoubtedly good
t4uying in market, as one of the
sstrongest houses on the street, including
some prominent banking firms were buy
ing heavily. The news of the day was
generally of favorable nature. After
the covering demand was over the bears
made a specially of severe drive against
Louisville and Nashville and Union
Pacific.
The decline established from the best
figures of the forenoon reached 2 y per
cent, and Lackawauna was sold down
to l4l % on sellers three days options.
New buying came in at this juncture,
however, and the UPWARD movement
equaliug the downward movement in
suddeness and more than equaling it in
its extent. Dizziness at times marked
trading, but the business done was gen.
orally on O large scale, though few large
lots changed hands. Final changes are
generally insignificant fractions, but
Louisville and Nashville shows the only
important loss, Pa per cent. while Read
ing and Missouri Pacific are both up
per cent.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 6.-AtBpod, Vio-
lett & Co. say: Although port receipts
to-day are G7 900, and IL, 900 larger than
the same day last year, there was a
stsEE$im provement here from the open
ny .A#ith few sellers, and with an ad-
vatEA of to points. Should the report
o$'our cotton exchange show a loss of
cBp coming into sight as compared to
l&t year, as it probably Will, it would OF
coarse help the market, which view we
exphessed in our last, but we think the
principal sustaining feature is the fear of
an unfavorable bureau.
Liverpool opened and closed at Satur-
days prices, with fair demand for spots
at unchanged prices. Spots-Very good
demand, offerings in the early part of
the day were poor and light, but later
! factors opening their receipts of the last
two days resulted in the sale of C500
bales, Russians beng the principal buy
ers. F. o. b. still in very good demand,
and especially for anything from mid
ding up, provided well handled. Sales
were effected to-day at 10c. for mid
ding, 10 3-l6c. for strict middling, and
1890. for good middling compressed.
