SToCKs-It was a decidedly healthy
market in stocks to-day and the volume OF
business. though lighter than during the
past few days, was fairly active. The
great feeders of the New York market
were not in operation, it being a bank
holiday in London and the Chicago ex-
changes being closed on the occasion
Of Mayor Harrison'5 funeral This
tended to restrict the dealings and
left the speculation practically in the
hands of local operators. The influences
affecting the speculation were mainly such
as concerned special sales. The silver bill
was regarded as practically out Of the way,
its passage through the final stages being
matter of mere routine. The news that
the House had agreed to the Senate amend
meuts did not reach the street until after
the close Of business, aad 1t Is not likely
that it would have caused any movement
had it been done during business hours.
Among the special features OF the
day was the unusually heavy buying in
Chesapeake and Ohio, the purchases being
credited to the Vanderbilts. After fairly
steady opening, in which the changes were
slight. the market became strong and &C
tive and for half an hour prices moved up
ward. but the bears began 20 offer blocks
of the Changers, Industrials, Western
Union and New England, which resulted
in depressing these shares below the
opening and the general list fell of
in sympathy. The reactionary tendency
was, however, quickly checked, aud from
IL o'clock until shortly before two, the
movement was in the main upward, the oc-
casional reactions being light and quickly
recovered from. At this time realizing
sales deprecated values somewhat, but in
the final dealings the market recovered its
activity. The railway and miscellaneous
bond market was fairly active and strong.
