SroCKs-The stock market to-day gave
indication of getting out Of the rut of dull
ness and practical stagnatiOn in which 1t
has fallen. There was some show of ami
nation in the early dealings, but the later
trading was marked by even more intense
dulluess than has been seen at any time
since the first of the year. A rather firmer
temper prevailed, however, due in most
part 70 arbitrage purchases between
this market and those of London and
Philadelphia. Reading, AtchisOn. New
England and St Paul occupied
the most prominent position in
point of activity, but in neither were the
movements Of special Importance, though
New England in late tracing succeeded in
recovering Yesterdays loss The features
OF 70 day were the continued pressure upon
Northern Pacific and the subsequent re-
cOvery, with the strength developed in
Missouri Pacific on light transactions and

preferred. The early dealings were list

a few stocks advanced, but the movement

dav. The final changes show gains invari-
ably, and Northwestern preferred is up .,
