STocKs.-The stock market opened and
closed firm. but in the interim the specu-
lation was irregular, with the tendency IN
/ the main toward lower values, and though
| there was quite squirt upward In the
| final trading, the early losses were not re-
/ covered, except ia a few instances. Al no
/ time during the day was the volume OF
business heavy, but the business was
much better distributed than usual and the
railway list was more actively dealt In,
the Industrial group with the
| one exception Of Sugar, for once falling 10
monOpolize the chief attention or the
speculative fraternity. A good many OF
the specialties were brought forward and
made wide fluctuations apd there were
other indications OF desire to break the
bonds which held the market in group
these months past II cannot be said, how
ever, that there are any evidences Of awak-
ening interest in what is known as the
outside public" The cliques and room
traders still mOnopolize the dealings and the
commission houses report customers as
scarce as ever. London was in the market
as a buyer, but confined itself almost en-
tirelY TO st. Paul and Louisville. A bear
raid was made on the Changers during the
forenoon, which sent them down a frac-
tion, but in the later dealings the losses
were entirely recovered in Rock Island
and North western. St. Paul gained s on
Yesterdays closing, and Burlington and
Quincy regained all but q Of the early de-
cline Louisville ana Nashville was notably
strong, being in good foreign demand as
we'll as a favorite Of the local traders,
chiefly on a report that the earnings or the
first week in October would show an in-
crease. TO-day's movement in Sugar is
credited 70 a leading manipulation OF the
shares who worked more conservauvely
than usual, for the stock was held within
range Of less than per cent. An advance
of a was made at the opening and then
quick drop Of l per cent followed by
sharp recovery and in the late dealings by
further advance, which brought the price
up 10 $40, total gain from the low point
of - and an advance from last night OF
per cent. The COrdage shares were
actively dealt in. The common sagged of
~ 10 the early trading but support from
inside interests was forthcoming and a
Jump of per cent was made, which was
maintained TO the close; the preferred
closed steady, the last being the best price
touched asd per cent. above last nights.
The bond market was Irregular during the
morning and early afternoon, but In the
later dealings became strong in sympathy
with the share speculation and closed In
good tone. The sales aggregated 1867, 900.
