The Stock Market.

New YORK, WALL STREET, Sept. 10.
Especial THE stock market was
active in spots to-day, but tho dullness
in the general list was even more sharply
marked than usual of late and outside
OF leading shares there was absolutely
nothing in the market. The bears laid
special stress upon the possibility of
the Reading railroad strike, as we'll as
the cholera, the growing scarcity of
money and further heavy shipments OF
gold. The fact that stocks have been
so we'll held in the absence of any or.
ganized support and the evident size of
the short interest, which is largely
among the light operators, encouraged
the bulls. however, and every conces-
sion was the direct result of special
pressure by the bears. The action OF
the Western Union directors in failing
to recommend an extra dividend made
that stock weak point in the market
aud It's loss was material but it failed
to drag anything down with it. Later
there was renewed buying of Reading
and industrials, which brought their
prices up to materially higher figures
than those OF the opening. At the close
there were few changes of note kept
in the stocks mentioned. Sales 1872

Republicans Consider tho Feasibility of n
Congressional Nomination.
RICHMOND, Va, Sept. a.-lSpecial II
Tho Republican district committee met
here last night with all OF the mem ers
present except one, and decided to issue
an address to the voters OF Virginia
urging them to prepare by organization
and attention to registration to cast
the full party vote for tho Harrison
electors.
The question of nominating a can
didate for Congress in this district was
discussed, but action vas deferred until
anotker meeting, to be held October 8.
The committee seem to be equally div
ided on this question, and their decision
will probably be influenced by tho
strength that the Third party candidate
seems to possess month hence.
Some of the Republican leaders seem
to think that with strong man their
chances would DO exceptionally good
for tho election for Congressman.

SOME Yankee General is now
contending that it was all a
mistake that the confederates
only had seven hundred thous-
and troops all told in the field
during the war.
He must have got his notion
from an anecdote told of Mr.,
Lincoln. An old friend from
Illinois, who had a son in the
army called on old Abe to get
the latest points about the war.
The first question he asked
was, show many men he Lin.
colin thought jeff. Davis had
Lincoln responded that JEFF,
Davis had Z, 100000 men in the
field. This startled the ole
man, but after regaining his
composure. he asked the Presi,
dent how he knew that fact
"Well," replied old Abe, g
have 1000, 900 men in the field
and whenever one of my gener
ais gets whipped down in Vir
ginia, he always swears tina
the rebels had three men to hi,
one, Yes sir l have 1000, 00t
men in the field and Jeff. Davis
has 5000, 600"
No doubt when these generals
heard the rebel veil issuing
from ten thousand rebel throats
they thought and were willing
to swear the woods were full O
about fifty thousand of them.
