GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-The stock mar
ket to-day was active during the fore
noon, and quiet for the remainder of the
day, the principle feature of transaction
being the squeeze of shorts in Lacka-
wanna, which gave tone to the whole
market, although movement in the rise
of the list was generalIg slight. The
effects of the bank statement were felt
in more pronounced bullish feeling on
street, and the aggressive front which
the bears have lately shown was con-
spicuous by its absence to-day, although
there was still great talk of the late
liquidation of Long stocks INDUCED in,
and the disposition was rather to liqui-
date on the other side of the account,
Atchison, St. Paul and Union Pacific,
which have been ratified off so vigorously
of late, were all active but displayed no
pronounced strength, and Union Pacific
was still inclined to crop under the I'M
favorable prospects of the funding bill
AS early buying Stacked away the bears
again came to the front, aud Union
Pacific, in view of the
rather unfavorable showing of
earnings, presented a fair market, and |
was hammered down, in the absence of |
support, about pa per cent. Attention |
was paid also to Reading and North |
American. The former Yielded readily. !
Silver was again weak. even in the face |
of the diminution of the stock of over |
l ZOO, 600 ounces during the last ten |
days. The general market followed the |
decline in those stocks slowly, but the |
raid was not sufficient to wipe out early |
gains, and the close, while quiet and |
weak, wss made at small fractional |
gains over opening figures.
Railroad bonds were quiet.
Government bonds dull and steady.
State bonds dull and featureless.
