GOVERNMENTS. STOCKS AND BONDS.
New YORK, April 1.-THE stock market
to-day was nothing more than the close up
OF az active week and trading was COM
paratively small, while dropping ten
dency marked the general list. The bears
were once more active and aggressive
against d few stocks. which they found
vulnerable after the material advance of
the week. There was a marked lack of in
terest in dealings on the part of the bulls
and for the time being the market seemed
TO have gone back to its former condition:
but operations of the bearish contingent
gave it tone and character
Railroad bonds quiet.
Government bonds duh and heavy.
State bonds, dull and steady.
