SroCKs-The stock market showed more
of professional character to-day, but COW
ering by the shorts was apparently conclu-
ded, and this element Of strength being re-
moved prices fell off. Apart from Reading,
New England end Northern Pacific prefer
red, there was little special feature in the
railroad list while Sugar monopolized all
the attention in the Industrials The general
market showed some strength at first on
continued covering OF shorts, but this de-
mand was soon satisfied and, while little
pressure was brought to bear, prices re-
tired all along the line. Later report was
that Readings floating debt has reached
the enormous figure of 81, 100000 and while
not qualified in any way, had decidedly
depressing effect in conjunction with other
reports of an unfayoraDle nature. Doubt
was thrown upon the control OF New Eng
land oy Mr.. McLeod's friends, and while
Reading yielded , per cent. from its best
price, New England after an early advance
of per cent. soon fell back. The poor
showing of dealings made by the Granger
roads led to declines of from l to l15
per cent, and Western Union and Union
Pacific, Louisville and Nashville and
Northern Pacific preferred all declined
over per cent. Sugar was the only stock
showing an advance Of note, its gain being
II per cent. The rest OF the market was
sluggish and closed barely steady, at only
slight gains over the lowest figures. Sales
