NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New YoRK. September 21.-The stock
market opened the new week this morning
with another burst of activity which bid
fair for some time to eclipse the record Of
last Friday, but the trading in the after
noon fell away materially. and while the
sales Of the day were extraordinarily heavy
they were within the sum Of the other
day. The feature Of the dealings to-day
was the unusually large number OF stocks
dealt in together with the. unusually even
distribution Of the business. The upward
movement also made steady progress and
this notwithstanding the continued
efforts of the operators, who have
been left out in the cold on the
present rise to force o reaction by
which they may either recuperate short
contracts at something like nominal loss
or get in on the next advance at figures
likely to net them profit within q reason
able time. There were likewise continued
heavy realizations of profits accrued by
the bulls, who are satisfied with the adj
vance as it is. and also by the foreigners.
who werorendered uneasy by the continued
Withdrawals of gold for export to this port
ftom the Bank of England, with the con-
slant tendency Of money at the centre to
become dearer. The demand. however.
which was almost entirely from outside
sources. completely swamped the forces
working for reaction, and for once the
public is in Wall street with power to do
-. ha nj LOT
o sense, nowhere III the strife.
THE OPENING HIGHER.
The opening was nj figures fractionsll7
higher tLan those Of Saturday and further
Improvement was made right from the
start. and as the Chicago people were
heavy sellers on the rise the western
stocks were almost oil sluggish, while
most Of the specialties were still very
strong, and among the active stocks the
Wizards led the advance with some of
their old-tiIne vim. The Vanderbil;s were
also conspicuous for their strength. and
Lake Shore was one Of the few stocks
which succeeded in scoring material
| final gain. Atchison Reading, st. raul
and other stocks Of late unusually proinl-
nen, for activity were still leaders IN the
dealings. bu. the totals Of their transac-
tons did not foot up such high figures as
OF late, while the business GONE was iHOIc
than usual among the low-priced shares.
The upward movement, with frequent
halts and mach excitement, made STEADY
progress until the last hour, when the re-
alizations became more numerous, sui

mand. heavy a. 1t still remains. Price,
therefore, receded fractIonally, but several
stocks, including Burlington and Rock
Island, were thereby brought below the
level Of their opening figures.

steady. for the decline had halted. IN.
