New YORK, March 2O.-The stock market
WIS intensely dull throughout the day, sales
being the smallest for long time, while sales
were on 4 strict parity with the business done.
While there was no pressure of long sUock upon
the market. there was, during the greater por-
tion of the day, dropping tendency in the gen
eral list. Some selling of Union Pacific was
done, and it yielded slightly. Missouri Pacific
was also pressed and shaded off 10 slight ex-
tent. with other Gould shares. Western Union
alone showed any signs of life, and that was
weak, losing nearly ! per cent after selling
eItry dividend. In the general list only
Tennessee coal and Wheeling and Lake Erie
stocks showed any strength, and the first named
moved up from 81 to 54ls, the rumor being that
the BriceThomas party had accepted large
block Of stock and that the late depression had
been for the purpose Of accommodating the stock.
Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred rose 2iac and
reacted 22sc, but closed with material improve
ment. The market finally closed dull and steady
81 insignificant changes for the great majority of
the list, the only important difference being ad
vances OF 2isc in Tennessee and II sc in Wheeling
ana Lake Erie preferred.
BUEyos AyREs. March 20.-The premium on
gold has declined TO l5s per cent.
