GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK. Dec. II The stock mar
ket to-day was still very dull and ex-
5ceedingly narrow, but remained firm to
strong, with the exception of q short
time III the forenoon. when there was an
attempt TO knock it down. On the
theory that Loud II was selling the stock
market to-day was opened higher, but
soon the upward movement was made
irregular by bear operations, and Union
Pacific was knocked down l per cent
and others fractions. The current was
then turned, and prices from that time
failed to show a weakness in any manner
for the remainder of the day. The mar
ket closed dull but strong at highest
prices OF the day, and final changes are
in the direction of higher figures.
Railroad bonds, dull.
Government bonds, steady.
State bonds, entirely neglected.
