to-day was not 30 active Saturday, nor were
the movem ents on so large q scale, even though
there were five hours OF business In place OF
two. There was on the whole a firm temper 10
the dealings, but considerable irregularity ex-
isted, and while the yanderbilts still displayed
the most pronounced strength, the Coaiers, the
Industrials, and New England were specially
weak az times, especially during the forenoon.
There was very little doing for foreign account
but better support In the coal stocks was a
factor In the improved tone. while the positive
strength shown by Lake Shore and later by
Northwestern brought the whole list along In
the afternoon.
