NEW YORK STOCK MARKET,


NEW yonK, September 2o.--The stock mar
ket to-day was not 70 active nor so strong as IL
was yesterday, and the general opinion seemed
to bel that the unfortunate liquidation in North

OPENING But SLIGHTLY CHANGED.
Opening prices we're, as rule only slightly
changed from those Of last evening, but the firm
temper OF the general list immediately became
apparent. and small fractional gains were
scored all along the line, in spite Of tho renewed
liquidation IN Northern Pacific preferred aud q
reaction In Distillers'. Nearly all the room
traders were working for lower prices, but the
sudden ending OF the cholera scaro has left
them heavily short of tho market without any
pressure Of stock from real owners 70 help them
out.
