GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3l.-The stock mar
ket to-day was duh and in general list
almost featureless, with small fiuctua-
tons, but on the whole displayed
power OF resistance which has been nota-
bly, lacking for some time past. The
news of the day having IA bearing upon
the railroad situation, was almost en-
tirely favorable to rise IN prices. The
forenoon s operations ompli>hPd that
result, but the improvement could not
all be held and most of it was lost.
IN the forenoon the temper of the
room was undoubtedly bullish on rail-
road stocks, and the opening figures
were all from to p per. cent. better
than last nights prices. Further i'm
prOvement was slow until toward noon,
and the business done was extremely
small, but in Changers, Chicago Gas,
Louisville and Nashville and North
American there were gains of from % TO
/ !, per cent. recorded.
Later there was a report started that
the Reading pool had been dissolved,
aud that the stock had been distributed,
which carried with it the assumption that
the weaker members of the pool would
be forced to liQuidate. This caused
sharp attack upon Reading, and it
yielded over per cent. TO 343I with
slight yielding in the general list.
Later IL was reported that the pool
meant was not the great pool which holds
control of the stock but small er affair,
aud final dealings saw some reaction in
stock i'll active shares, aud the market
finally closed very duh and steady to
firm, generally at insignificant changes
from first prices, AMI in most cases small
better than those of last even
ing.
