NEW. YORK STOCKS.
The Share Market Moves Upward, and Is
Well Out of the Sluggish Rut of
Last Week-Jersey Central
Leads the Advance
Leads the Advance.

NEW YORK Jan. 2-The stock market to-
day was somewhat of a surprise to many people,
developing a sudden strength and activity that
was entirely unlocked for. and the movement
of the market to-day. in connection with that of
yesterday, seems to indicate that it has gotten
out of the rut into which it had fallen, and
promises to become broader and moro active
The one unsatisfactory feature of the day
was the attempt to bring forward again as a
bull card the sugar receipts and the new stock
of the company. The latter was given twist
of over per cent, and both became active in
the last hour. There was large covering of
shorts by the sellers of the past few days, and
the steady demand from that source kept prices
moving upward without any real setback after
the first few minutes trading. when a tentative
attack was made upon the market or rather
some stocks which were thought to be vulner-
able. Such undoubted support was developed,
however, that the selling was as quickly as pos
s:ble turned into buying. and the Gould stocks,
the Coalers the Grangers and many specialties
which have been SO conspicuous for weakness
under the attacks of the professionals during
the past week. became prominent in the up
ward movement.
Manhattan was dropped suddenly from 100 to
s6zz. and LacSawanna, Burlington and Chicago
Gas were forced off fractional amounts, and
the last two stocks were rather sluggish
throughout the day, failing to keep pace with
the rest of the list.
St. Paul, however. led the advance in the
forenoon, and later Union Pacific, which was
also the most active, catue to the 'front.' fol.
lowed ny Missouri Pacific and Northern Pa
citic. Jersey Central. however, outstripped all
the others, its advance being the same
gigantic scale as its late decline. Manhattan
recovered almost all of its loss.
The industrials. which mad been dull through.
out, came to the front in the lat hour, but 100
late to have any real influence on the shares of
the regular list. The market finally closed
quiet but strong at the highest prices of the
day. The list is almost invariably higher to-
night. and Jersey Cen raj is up 81; ST. Paul
