SToCKs.-The stock market to-day was
again very active and after the first hour
decidedly strong, although one group of
stocks monopolized the attention Of traders
and the lions share of the Improvement in
prices. The general list, however, pre-
sented a firm front throughout the day, de-
spite the early weakness. The trading as
a whole did not lose it's professional char
acter, but there was, more life to the deal
ings, and while the late advances may
have been largely due to the
fright arising from the shorts by the I'M
usual advances OF the Vanderbilts, the buy
ing was undoubtedly Of good character
and the Improvement substantial in other
stocks than the leaders Richmond and
West Point is still suffering from the I'M
certainty in regard to the reorganization.
The stocks today, however, were COM
paratively strong. Later in the day the
feature of the days operations was de-
veloped and the Vanderbilt's quickly came
to the front, with Lake Shore
In the lead, Michigan Central follow
ing. The Changers were also prominent
in late dealings and st. Paul crossed so
once more, while Northwestern, with the
Vanderbilts, showed marked rise The
coal stocks were weak and the Industrials
quite neglected. The market closed strong
and conf Tent on large volumn Of bust
ness. The greatest advances include Lake
