SrocKs-The stock market continued to
show great strength to-day, aud reversed
the temper of yesterday completely. while
there was an increased volume of business,
though the aggregate is still small. Rail-
road earnings reported are now showing
up much better than was expected,
and Commission houses report
again an increased inquiry from outsiders.
The buying to-day was apparently from
Vanderbilt and Gould sources. st. Paul
and Lake Shore were conspicuous, and
both made handsome advances to-day
Other specially strong stocks were
Lackaawanna, Wheeling and Lake
Erie and Pacific Mail, Jersey
Central. Delaware and Hudson and Great
Northern preferred being especially prom
inent. Outside of St Paul and Lead Trust,
however, there was not at any time any
real activity The long expected declara-
ton of the dividend on Lead Trust came
to-day and was great disappointment
TO many who have been expect
ing one OF | per cent, whereas the
dividend was only one-half Of ! per cent
The market showed increased strength as
the day wore along, outside OF the indus
trials, and the close, Wnlle quiet, was
strong. at the best figures Of the day. The
list is invariably higher, Jersey Central

EIGRTY-SIX DAYS AT SEA.
CAPTAIN F. L. NoRToN's sTANcH LITTLE CRAFT
IS THOUGHT TO HAVE GONE DOWN
WITH ALL ON BOARD.

The Norton Shipbuilding and Construction Com
pany. Of No. Broadway, have given up all hopes OF
the Hfesaving boat F. L. Norton, that has now been
eights-six days at sea.
The F. l.. Norton was an invention Of Captain +. l..
Norton's and supposed to be unsuitable, being an
Improvement on the Neversnk, that had already
crossed the Atlantic. The F. L. Norton was 5S feet
long, had engines OF 3O-horse power, and was capable
OF going eight knots hour under steam. She was
.schooncrrigged, and carried great deal OF canvas
On November % she sailed from New-London Conn.,,
bound for Touon, France, with the following persons
OH board Captain F. L. Norton, Mrs. Margaret ,.
Norton, Miss Annie Rictaby, niece Of the captain
Chief Engineer James Menelles, Assistant Engineer
Arthur Mclean. Sailing Master c. F. Carlson, John
Anderson Oscar Mleyar. the steward, Joseph Marcea
and the cabinboy, John Roberts.
The Norton was TO stop at Fayal in the Azores, for
provisions and coal on December 10 cable as
patch stated that she had been seen passing Gibraltar
the previous day 1t has since been learned that TINS
dispatch had its origin in a rumor prevalent at inc
time in Algers and is not supposed to have been
founded on fact as there have been many arrivals OF
