New YoRK, August 80.-The stock market Of

yesterday, being extremely dull, but displaying
firm tone, and while the changes In quotations
for the day in most of the list were entirely In
significant, they were In the upward direction.
There was q very slim attendance of brokers at
the board, and the trading for that reason,
lacked feature, though the movement in sugar
refineries, Rock Island, and Chicago gas were
worthy of notice. Sugar was comparatively
active and decidedly strong. rising to s0sk
against 781< last night, gain of 2ss per cent,
which was regarded as the result of squeeze
Of the shorts. Rock Island was again the sub
ject of attack by the bearish traders, as was
also Chicago gas, but the fluctuations In neither
exceeded " per cent, and In the first named the
early loss was afterward recovered. Absolute
stagnation marked the dealings In the remain
der Of the market. and the interest taken was
at o very low ebb. There was rather nrm
opening, with cotton oil certificates mp u per
cent, and, while the frm tone was retained
throughout the session, small transactions tell
The story of the general apathy. Tie close,
however, was firm, at Insignificant changes for
the day.
Railroad bonds showed the same lack of in
terest and movement which characterized the
trading in tocks. The sales were 28S.0O0
Government bonds have been dull aud heavy.
