the New York Stock Exchange:
NEW y DIRK, Jan. S-Tbe stock market was
very active and fever ish throughout, but while
the amount of business done falls short of that
OF yesterday, there was no less interest ia the
transactions, which were, If anything, more
significant on the whole. Regularity in the
movement continued to be ths feature of the
trading until the close, and while New England
Rock Island, Manhattan, Louisville. New Albany
and Chicago and Northern Pacific preferred,
with some of the low priced specialtes we're
specially strong, Missouri Pacific, Union Pacific
DiSJlllerS ana AtchlnsOn were weak points.
The general list, no viewer, was, as rule, quiet,
and moved within comparatively narrow limits
and excessive trading in a few more prominent
stocks brought the DAYS business up TO it's
highest figures. The bears were again active
and aggressive and made drives at several
stocks at different times. Transactions in Chi
cago Gas were still enormous this morning
the first fifteen minutes trading, and it opened
at different prices, from 73 to "a. while it only
went a per cont below former prices during
the day, the strength displayed by the stock

meantime. Feyrrishness never departed from

pressure was brought to bear upon the
weakness, but the sharp upward movement given
Manhattan late IN the day served to disseminate
the idea that the insiders were not in the efforts
to depress those shares Late dealings
In Coalers, supposed to be another move against
the shorts. and Jersey Central, Delaware Hud-
son and Lackawanna all scored substantial
gains. The most remarkable movement Of tho
day, however, was in the securities Of the New
York and Northen Company the stock ad-
vancing on large transactions from 1870 to 26,
the bonds following closely. Most Of this vas
retained at the close. The general list opened
generally small fractions higher but the move
ment continued on a small scale and irregular
ity was one of the features Of the day, though
the market displayed considerable strength
throughout and advances this evening are more
numerous than losses. There was final effort
to knock prices of la the last hour, but it was
met by the advance in Manhattan and
Coalers, and the market closed active and
firm, generally at small fractional
gains for the day. Distillers is 15S per cent
lower this evening, but New England ia up 21kc
and Rock Island, Northern Pacific preferred
