PIrrsBURG, Pa, October 26.-The
amount OF School Board Treasurer
DoeraiDger's shortage is growing, and
will probably reach $4,000. In addi-
ton TO the $4,000 first missing altered
drafts aggregating 2l5, 900 have been dis

ported in the accounts of the Dexter

try, but no one seems 10 know his exact

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, October 26.-The stocl
market to-day was dull throughout and
whilo alternately firm and heavy no ma
terial movement occurred except in one
or two stocks. Moreover, while the fnal
changes in quotations are generally
losses, they are in most cases for insig-
nIiicant fractions. This state OF affairs
reflects only the uncertainty which has
taken possession OF operators, though
the near approach OF an important cleo.
ton has its influence in keeping the
market dull within narrow limits.
THE MOST PROMINENT FEATURE
OF the present market is the demand for
good railroad bonds. Bankers, how
ever. find difficulty in filing orders
owing to the smsllness OF the supply
which appears in the market. The APP
pearance of this class Of buying in the
stock market causes an improvement in
the general feeling, as 1t is usual for a
new demand TO appear first in the bond
market, from which it extends to the
dlvidend-psying stocks The demand
for bonds is not confined TO this side OF
the Atlantic, rs large orders are being
received from London. The trading in
stocks to-day vas almost entirely
oP A PROFESSIONAL CHARACTER,
and the selling was the work of the
traders, who, as usual in times OF dull
ness, are inclined to the bear side.
Foreign operators were buyers at the
opening OF st. Paul. which was firm
though quiet. But, aside from its &C
tivity, TT. Paul was not prominent in
the movement of the day. Chicago
Gas was the strong point in the active
list, bat Michigan Central scored gain
of II per cent. On the other hand,
Tennessee Coal, after rising a fraction
to 40, dropped to 3S, and recovered
only fraction, and Delaware and Hud-
son dropped II per cent. while the adj
vance in Michigan Central was not
held.
TIE CLOSE DULL But FIRM.
The market was unusually barren Of
feature and finally closed dull, though
firm on the rally, with most stocks
slightly lower than on Saturday. Chi
cago Gas shows the only advance, its
gain being +! per cent. while Delaware
and Hudson is Il per cent. lower and
Tennessee Coal l per cent. Sales OF
listed stocks, I54, 900 shares; OF unlisted,
