Dullness continues to be the principal charac-
teristic Of the market except IN a few stocks
affected by particular influences. The under
tone of the market remains strong, however,
and despite occasional short sales for quick
turns, the existing short interest remains so
large that the supporting influences are never
lacking. There was a renewal of the manIpula
ton of Sugar, and while the rest of the in
dustrials remained dull and stagnant, it rose
rapidly at times and displayed great activity.
The market opened with firm emper and gen
orally at higher figures; but the heavy selling
movement of New England dragged the whole
st down. Only Reading st. Paul, Burlington
and Quincy and Eric showed any animation,
however, and the losses in those shares were
confined to small fractions and TIE decline was
soon checked. A rally following closely,
bringing most OF the list, including New Eng
land, up to within q shade of the first figures.
Reading and St. Paul displaying special
strength. Trading during the day, however,
was entirely professional The announcement
that cholera was in the harbor caused vigOr-
Gus drive at the whole list ia the afternoon. The
market led by Gould stocks became very weak.
The market closed weak and lower.
The sales of listed stocks were 231 900
shares; unlisted, $1,000 shares. The following
were the closing quotations OF the New York
Exchange:
