GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
New YORK, Aug. 1.-THE stock market, es-
Pecially in the regular list, reached the extreme
of dizziness to-day, transactions footing up only
u, SO shares OF listed stocks and IL, 600 unlisted
Trading throughout was of the tamest character,
being entirely confined to professionals, and the
ATTENDANCE OF brokers at the board was most
meagre. There was some life in Atchison and
st. Paul, and each advanced small fraction in
the early dealings, only. to lose the improve
ment later in the session. Sugar opened up
at SiA, rose to sIla and declined to SOA; q
sharp rise to Slla followed, but it afterward re-
tired to 81 and finally closed at SIS.
