SToCKs-C Considering the death of the most
active mani Dulator OF campaigns inthe stock
market in the annals OF Wall street, the
Stock Exchange to-day was singularly free
from excitement. Not only were the huc-
tuatiOns in prices comparatively small, but
the volume Of business transacted was less
than that often transacted when there
are no special events or influences
to stimulate trading. 1t has been claimed
all along by q certain contingent OF wan
street spectators that the death OF Mr..
Gould would throw the market into a
panic, or markets for securities would at
least be violently perturbed. Exactly the
contrary occurred to-day. The market
yvavered for a time and the bears made
several attempts to get prices to lower
Ievel- but on ali the reactions buy
ing orders appeared for large amounts
and each decline was followed by higher
quotations than those previously current.
Even the so-called Gould stocks yielded
but slightly; Missouri Pacific ran OF lS4c,
but Western Union, Manhattan, Union
Pacific and Wabash yielded only traction
ally and quickly recovered. In the general
list American Sugar declined lSc, out as q
rule the losses were small. During the
afternoon q frmer feeling prevailed, and
as the day drew to 9 close speculation be-
came almost buOyant. The market closed
strong and on an advance. Sales l,ZSO,OOO
