STOCKS-The condition of the foreign
exchange market and the buying Of Amer
lean stocks for foreign account were the
principal factors in tue course OF prices
In the stock market to-day, aud while there
was in the forenoon a dropping Of prices,
with some material losses, in the latter
portion Of the day there was not only a
recovery Of the early dealings, but the gain
OF fractions in addition. London was
a liberal buyer OF stocks during
the whole forenoon, but despite this fact
there was considerable realizing in differ
ent portions of the list, while Chicago Gas
was under the hammer cOUunuOuslysand
its drop Of PIC had a material influence
Buying for foreign account was OF little
influence az the time 70 check the dropping
tendency impaired 70 the list. AtcniSon,
Burlington, Reading and some others
scored losses Of per cent,
while the entire list lost
fractional amounts. In the afternoon Jer-
sew Central and Delaware and Hudson made
marked gains on q light business, while
Reading recovered all of its early decline.
alFyt~ad A
ing tendency, but the late strength dis
PLAYED was encouraging 70 buyers and the
commission houses which purchased dur
ing the forenoon were very limited and be-
came a factor IN the late advance. The
close was quiet but firm to strong, gener-
ally at fractional gains over first prices and
at about the highest prices OF the day. The
dna, changes are almost all small gains,
but Chicago Gas is down is. Sales Sl,-
