GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE stock mar
ket to-day was feverish and weak in the
forenoon, but quite strong though dull
later in. the day, leaving most stocks
fractionally high, though there were u
few material losses among the stocks TO
which bears payed most attention. The
trading during the AZ was almost en-
tirely of II professional order, aud is
likely to remain SO until the time when
money is more available, as brokers are
discouraging buying as far as they are
able. one reputable brokerage house
to-day is asking % per cent margin to
buy St. Paul for customer. An I'M
proved market, however, is looked for
from the meeting of the railroad presi-
dents TO be held next Monday. Gold due
from England is due here about the mid
die of next week, and its arrival is ex-
pected TO give greater buoyancy and
strength to the market.
Government bonds duh aud steady.
State bonds entirely neglected.
