NEW YORK, January 1.-THE stock market to-
day showed no change In character from that Of
the previous days of the week, and except for a
few stocks was narrow and dull without move
ment or failure of interest The general ten.
dency of prices in the absence Of pressure was
upward, and the bank statement with Its heavy
increase in the surplus reserve served to give a
strong close to rather uninteresting specula-
tion.
The new common stock Of the Wheeling and
Lake Erie was traded in upon the board for
the first time to-day, and in the first hour rose
rapidly from 3O1zc to Slazc. but thereafter was
rather neglected and sagged away fraction.
There is said to be bull pool in the stock.
Reading continued to lead in activity, but the
dealings were unimportant and the changes
in its price were very small with those of the
rest of the list.
New England showed marked strength and
rose over 1 per cent, the Traders and Boston
houses being most prominent in the movement
which was said to be based upon the belief of q
favorable statement to be shown in the near
future.
Chicago Gas continued its upward move
ment, but made only fractional progress while
Sugar was weak again on the same old stories
which have done duty throughout the week. 1t
opened of % per cent at o2 and declined to
50% after slight rise, and closed within @
small fraction of the lowest price.
There was very little life in the market until
after the issue of the bank statement, when
prices which had begun to sag hardened up
again and became strong generally at frac-
lfonal advances over the opening prices. Ex-
cept in Sugar, which is down II per cent, the
fnal changes are insignificant and about
equally divided between gains and losses
Railroad bonds were again more active than
stocks though there was very little special ami
nation outside of the Reading issues. which
were weak-the thirds however. being the only
ones to show any material loss at the end of the
day. The general list displayed the same
steady to firm feature; and while the final
changes are in almost all cases insignificant,
they are oftener gains than losses, Reading
thirds lost at Al. Chesapeake and Ohio se-
ries A also lost ~. at III The sales reached
s624, 600 The sales of bonds for the week
were $40 $4,000 against only $4.SSS,OOO for last

Last Years Financial Record Badly Broken
SO Far Money Easy.
The local banks are keeping up the rapid
pace with which they commenced the year, and
it already looks as if last years record will be
badly shattered when the account for 1890 is
closed up. Last weeks exchanges exceeded
those Of the corresponding time in 1889 by more
than million and three-quarters.
Several Of the leading banks visited yester-
day reported satisfactory business, although
there was no rush. Money was easy aud in
good supply with a good demand. Discount
rates were steady at 607 per cent. Currency
and exchange were about even, with . better
supply of small notes than usual.
