ON A SMALL SCALE.
Wall Street Spectators Not Rushing
ThIugs-The Bank Statement Takes
the Life Out Of Railroad

NEW YORK, April 5-The stock market to-
day was again a very limited affair. and outside
of few specialties, which were affected by in
fuences peculiar to themselves, there was no
movement whatever. The collapse of the suit
against the Chicago Gas Trust furnished a lit
tie life in that stock, and, after opening up q
at 49,, it reacted fraction. put afterward rose
to a shade above its opening prices. The shorts
covered rather freely, but there was little de-
mand for the stock IN other directions
Lackawanna early loomed into prominence,
and advanced q fraction under the impression
tempted, but later the stock reacted and closed
at Thursdays price. Richmond and West
Point was still influenced by the late acquisi-
tion of the Erlanger roads by the East Ten
nessee and occupied 4 prominent position in
the early portion of the session. but became
quiet later and reacted with the remainder of
the list Among the specialties the only marked
movement was in Manhattan, which suddenly
spurted up from 1861 to lOS1z on light trading,
and for no apparent reason.
The bank statement was expected to show
decrease in the surplus reserve. but the actual
decrease was much beyond the expectations
and the life and strength were taken out of the
market by the exhibit. The movements in the
general list were confined as a rule to less than
u per cent, and the dealings presented no
features whatever, though strong tone pre-
vailed in the first hour, giving place to weak
ness later on. The close was dull and barely
steady at about opening prices. which were
generally lower than Thursdays figures.

stocks on the New FORK Stock Exchange yester-
day. Corrected daily for THE DISPATCH by
