SToCEs-The stock market to-day was
the most active of any day of the year, not
| excepting the days of the November panic,
and there was a great deal of excitement
attending the trading at all times during
the daq There was q continuation OF the
buying for the long account by outside
! Spectators, both foreign and domestic, and
! the cotering of large lines OF short con-
tracts helped along the upward movement,
| while they swelled the volume of business
| to unusual proportions Another element
| in the davis operations, however, was the
| during the last few days. The heavy buy
! ing aud heavy realjzations of the forenoon
| kept the market in an extremely feveriSh
! state, the transactions footing up enormous
| figures for the first hour. Toward noon,
| however the realiZations Stacked away
under the stubborn resistance OF the mar
| ket TO The pressure and the shorts came
| into cover. In the buying movement the
! grangers were most conspicuous, and ROCK
| Island, Burlington and ST. Paul took the
! places Of Reading and AtchisOn as the lead
/ ers of tie market. The top figures were
| reached at D.. m, and afterward traders
who had started in TO take the market away
| from the shorts began to realize their
| profits snd material reaction occurred in
| the lasthOur. The decline lasted until the
sound OF the gavel and the market closed
| rather heavy at concessions, though the
great minority Of the list are fractionally
