STocKs-The stock market to-day was
more active than of late, and while the
transactions were as usual mostly profess
sional, there was better feeling in the de-
mand, and prices after some wide iuctua-
tons ended generally fractions higher than
last evening. The change in temper, III
doubtedly due primarily TO the fact that
the short interest was getting altogether
too uuwieldy, and it was discovered early
this morning that the sun actually dld
shine in portions of the Western territory,
which has been visited by excessive rain
fall during the last week. The CRY went
up that something would be saved from
the wreck, and buying became the fashion
as easily as selling had been Tor the
few DAYS past, and while there
was no lack of selling especially IN the
early dealings, the preponderance of buy
ers finally carried the day, and the first
drive marked the limit Of the decline for
the time being. The buying did not begin
early enough to save Rock Island from
material decline, the loss on the drive be-
ing * per cent. but other stocks, such as
Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific and Read
ing, with few Of the inactive shares like
Hooking Valley and Omaha preferred,
suffered severely at the time. The down
ward movement, which had every appear
ance of being brought about to buy stocks
upon, suddenly ceased and the recovery be
gan and ceased only with the close OF ousl-
ness. The close was active and firm to
strong at or near the highest prices. Sales,
1885, 465 shares. Quotations closed bid
