less active to-day. but its temper was more
mixed than 1t has been for many days,

vances In the first sales of from k69s per cent
over last nights final figures, and while the
market remained feverish and unsettled during
the forenoon. owing to further efforts OF the
bears to bring about declines in Wizards,
grangers and Chicago gas, there was firm tone
in the main, which resulted in fractional ad-
vances by noon. The general list sympat hzed
to limited extent in this decline, but portions
of early gains were retained, and when the
pressure was removed q sharp upward turn in
the last hour brought almost everything traded
in up to the best prices of the day, and the
market closed quiet but firm to strong at an inn
provement. The list is almost invariably
higher this evening, the only exception being
Lackawanna, with a loss OF IL per cent; Chi
cago gas is up 2hs, Northern Pacific preferred
15s. Louisville and Nashville ~, Big Four ~,
and others generally larger fractions.
