GOVERNMENTS. STOCKS AND BONDS.
New YORK, Oct. l5.-The stock market to-day
was gain mode. q ely active, but showed marked
contrast in its tone to that Of yesterday, being
strong thIoughout the forenoon, the latter por
ton of he afternoon. and leaving prices materi-
ally higher ali along the line. although heavy
losses in some of the leading STOCKS yesterday
were not made up. but keen business still is
concentrated in a dozen or so leading stocks
while the remainder Of the list is comparatively
neglected and the active interest in the ma, ket
is still that ofthe bears. Losses shown b. first
sales were comparatively slight. and iinmedi-
ately the d. mand for shorts, helped by some
buying for foreign accounts, developed
q strong tone in the market, and all active
stocks moved steadily, the gain during the first
hour being most uniform. aud before noon an
advance over last evenings figures of from y to
IA PEI cent, had been established. The up
ard movement came to end toward noon,
when traders went IN for short turn on the
bear side, and while there was less animation
and no marked weakness anywhere in the list.
prices slowly but steadily melted away until
toward o. nj. when most of the early gains
had been wiped out. Late III the day, however,
good buying again appeared in the list, ana
again a change in the temper OF speculation
occurred, which sent prices in the last hour up
to and beyond the level OF the best figures of the
forenoon. The movement gained force as time
wore a ong, and The close was strong on an
active business, and at about best prices OF the
day.
Railroad bonds Q little more active.
Government bonds dull but firm.
State bonds entirely neglected.
