STOCKS The stock market to-day was
quiet one, but a few stocks, as usual Of
late, displayed marked animation, and in
all cases among the railroad list such
activity was accomplished by materially
lower prices. The market declined slowly
and, notwithstanding the drives made at
Louisville and Nashville and Burlington,
other active stocks, with but two excep-
tons, show this evening only insignia
cant concessions from last weeks figures
or slight gains. The principal factor In
producing the decline was the strength OF
the foreign exchange market, which at
present invariably gives rise 10 the cry OF
Immediate gold exports. There was
great deal Of pressure upon Reading in the
early trading but il was well maintained,
and the effort 10 make an impression upon
il was soon given up, though on a smaller
volume of business in the last two hours IT
Welded more rapidly. The only real
" strong point in tho mar
ket was the Industrial group.
Sugar and the Lead shares were prominent
for the advances scored on a comparatively
light trade. The general list, after firm
and higher opening, made some slight FUR
Their advances, but the drive at Reading In
the early dealings and against Louisville
and Nashville and Burlington later
checked the upward tendency and before
noon prices were u shade below those of the
opening. A rally in the afternoon was fol-
lowed in the last hour by another dropping
spell and the close was quiet but heavy, at
the lowest prices. Sales, 230, 449 shares.
