WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.
Eridav- October ID.

The stock market presented no new or inter
cstirg features to-day. There was further
shrinkagc in the volume Of business, although
there was TO rcws which ought not to have
encouraged buying for investment account. New
England Union Pacific and some of the industrial!
stocks were advanced with a confidence winch
could have sprung only from superior lniorma-
ton Chicago Gas rose TO 50 ga, and although
il ended IL rer cert below it's highest point, its
final gain was a small fraction. Philadelphia
and Reading was in demand because the books
will be closed tomorrow for the annual election.
For voting purposes the stock must be registered
at once and retained for three months Holders OF
record may not vote unless they can prove their
ownership of the stock by producing the ldent-
cal certificates registered in their names. The
stock was in demard to-day, and a premium was
paid for the use of it. Its last price was virtually
the lowest for the day, but its comparative loss
was only a small fraction. New-EnGland main
tanned the leadership. but after an early rise
of per cent it closed slightly lower
The closing may have been affected by the
furry in the money market, but the higher rates
for money ought TO be welcomed gladly, because
they will prevent renewal of gold shipments me
European selling of railway securities Is consla,
movement of merchandise is restricted by the lack
of demand. The disturbance in rates for morcy
may have been due TO the shifting of loans caused
by the transfer Of the floating debt Of the Georgia
Central Railroad It is hard to Sec however, how
money taken from one bank and deposited in an
other could have more than temporary influence
on the price. The closing was dull and heavy.
and there were reasons to believe that the short
interest increased by the days operations. Inc
borrowing demand for Chicago Burlington and
Quincy Louisville and Nashville and few other
leading stocts suggested a short interest of large
proportions.
