SroCKs-The stock market to-day was by
all odds the most active we have had since
the revival of business last fall, but while
displaying a strong temper during most OF
the day, 1t yielded throughout the list In
the last hour and all the early gains were
lost, with something In addition. The raid
was made during the last hour OF business
bv a combination who have been sellers Of
stocks and who have been en-
deavoring to become buyers at
lower prices. The movement started
by a sudden drop in Chicago Gas which
was believed in some quarters TO have been
the result Of a settlement with the shorts
in that stock. The drop was followed by
determined attack on the whole list, TO
which the bulls did not appear to make
any strong resistance, the more prominent
among them expressing the opinion that
this reaction would bring in fresh lot or
BUYERS. The forenoOn's dOings We're mark
ed by great strength all around, but the
inward movement in New England, which
fairly led the list, was very large and that
stock rose above so on heavy transactions,
bringing the whole list along with
IL Other particularly strong stocks
were Rock Island, Richmond and West
Point, Atchison and St. Paul, together
with many of the low priced specialties,
among which Louisville, New Albany and
Chicago. Kansas and Texas were specially
prominent. The only real weak point IN
me list was Louisville and Nashville,
which responded TO selling by the foreign
claimant and retired over one percent. in the
face of the strength in the rest Of the mar
ket The close was very active and weak,
generally at the lowest prices OF the day.
