GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Sept. l7.-London figures
were higher this morning, and while
there was not very urgent demand in
the stock market here, first prices were
generally slightly higher than last night
final figures. The market soon devel-
oped strength, however, and prices rose
steadily until after bond offerings be-
came known. By that time the whole
active list went up from to l y per
cent. with Lackawanna, Big Four, Chi
cago gas and Willard g the most promi-
nent for gains scored. The bears then
attacked the list on the theory that the
result of the bond Offering had been dis
counted, and in their efforts to break
values were aided by considera-
BILE realizatious among traders on
the advances of the past two days. The
large failure in Boston was used as q
club with which to knock off quota
lions, and before the close almost all
early gains had been wiped out, and in
few instances material losses occurred.
The close was quieter, but weak gener-
ally at a small traction below opening
figures. Rock Island Is down per cent,
and Burlington and st. Paul each "a,
while Pacific Mail is up l per cent.
Railroad bonds more active.
Government bonds dull and lower
for AS.
State bonds entirely neglected.
