RAMRoADs-The railway bond market
showed the same general character as the
share list
SToCKs-The stock market to-day was an
| unexceptional one in every respect, and in
point of activity and the extent of the adj
vance scored was entirely unprecedented
Less than forty stocks show sales Of more
than 100000, and notwithstanding the en-
ormous trading in Reading during the last
four days, its total to-day was over half a
million. The gains were still on an equally
large scale and the fluctuation OF Jersey
Central on a comparatively moderate bust
ness was 81. Only those which are be-
| lieved TO be favorably affected
by the new deal including New England and
New York, and the California coal stocks
were bought with great confidence through
out the day by investors as well as specula-
tors, and despite the fact that the list was
under the heavy pressure by both London
and the traders as well as the professional
bears, the prices were in most cases insig-
nificant and the changes unworthy Of note.
The dealings extended TO small number OF
stocks more than usual, owing to the interest
in leading shares, and the low priced
specialtieS were all entirely neglected dur
ing the day. The market opened with great
activity and at materially higher figures in
most cases, Reading being up 24 per cent.
The excitement was intense, and the trad
ing in that stock for the first quarter hour
reached considerably over 100000 shares.
The price rose steadily in the face OF the
heavy realizationS 10 81, at which point II
halted and went back, but in the late trad
ing 64% was touched. Jersey Central was
more rapid in its movements. Delaware
and Hudson was raised more rapidly
in the late trading and closed at its highest
figure, while Lackawanna, which was
specially sluggish in the forenoon, was ad-
vanced sharply at the same time, rising to
l63 and closing with gain of As. New
England was very largely traded in. The
most marked feature, however, was the
sudden extreme activity and strength in
Ontario and Western, which was one OF
the four stocks whose sales reached over
500 coo. Erie, st. Paul, Northern Pacific
preferred and Atchison and Chicago Gas
were specially active. The general list
was comparatively neglected and fluctua-
ted within narrow limits The close was
strong and confident at practically the best
figures Sales 1,437, 443 shares. Quota
