STooKs-The stock market to-day showed
on the whole moderate volume of bust
ness, and while displaying a strong tone
during most Of the time, failed to score ma
terial advances in the stocks which have
of late been most prominent in the deal
ings. Other stocks, however, were taken
up by the interests identified with them
and advanced materially. In these gains
the Vanderbilts, and especially the low
priced ones, were the features. The bears
at the outset endeavored to make more
capital out Of the frosts reported last
night, but the temper Of the room was de-
cidedly bullish still, and aided by liberal
purchases for both foreign and domestic
account, the demonstration In the early
dealings was fruitless, except the
strong stocks of yesterday were
retired fractionally. The attack in the
early trading caused fractional concessions,
but the recovery came soon, and the ad-
vance from that time was not interrupted.
All the active stocks were traded in within
narrow limits, and the Vanderbilts and
few others led the improvement. The
market closed active and strong with
most of the list at the highest prices of the
day. The final changes are generally frac-
tional gains, but Chesapeake and Ohio is
