RAILRoADs-The market kept pace with
the share list, both as to activity and
strength, and surpassed that of any previ-
GUS days trading this year.
SToCKs-The stock market to-day was
for the first time this year decidedly active
and the business done eclipsed anything
seen since the panic of last year; but the
temper of the dealings was in marked con-
trast to that time, and while there was a
great deal of feverishness the market on
the whole was very strong and the final
changes among the leading shares are all
in the upward direction. The opening this
morning was attended by considera-
BILE excitement, the buying for
both foreign and commission houses being
something largely in excess OF that OF the
previous days The activity reached all
portions of Of the list, but the Changers
again held the first place, followed by the
Coalers and the Southwesterns. The sell
ing pressure was gradually relaxed, how
ever, and prices began to advance materi-
ally here and there, but it was not
long after till an. improving tendency
reached all portions Of the list.
Many of the leading stocks made sharp
gains at this time, Lackawanna, St Paul,
Burlington, Chicago Gas, Rock Island and
Reading following each other The best
prices were not fully maintained in all
cases. The bullish feeling ran high, while
offerings of stocks for sale became greater
as the day wore along and many sharp ad-
vances were scored among the specialties
and in active stocks, but the improvement
in the Wheeling and Lake Erie shares was
one of the features of the early dealings,
the advantage being held to the end. The
market closed active and strong at about
the highest prices of the day. Sugar is up
