SrocKs.-The stock market to-day showed
no material change inits general character
istics from those Of the past few days. The
general list as usual was dull and compara-
lively stagnant, while the efforts OF the
operators for decline were directly ap-
niied To a few stocks which proved special
IL vulnerable and in those shares material
losses were suffered. The announce
ment of the decrease in the
net earnings OF the Burlington
for September was followed by a sharp at
tack upon that and the other grangerS
which brought prices down TO the lowest
of the day. and in many cases to the lowest
seen in months Sugar Reiincries, after a
sharp upward movement in the forenoon,
which seemingly had the effect OF postpon-
ing the attack upon the general list until
the afternoon, remained dull aud feature
less. but was held at the best prices for the
remainder of the day. Chicago Gas iell
away in the forenoon about ! per cent,
but recovered in the afternoon.
The raid upon the grangers
after 10 o'clock took the vim out oil the
market and the lowest prices Of the day all
along the line were reached at about p.
m. and when the pressure was removed
dizziness and stagnation We're the features
until the last hour, when covering OF shorts
moved prices up in most cases. The maj
figures are only slightly below those OF the
