SroCKs-The stock market was dull
again to-day, the volume Of business being
even lighter than yesterday, but as trading
was more generally distributed there was
an appearance Of greater activity. The
speculation was, however, decidedly
stronger in tone and there was at times
very heavy movement, full OF
comfort 20 the part OF the
speculative fraternity which looks for
ward 20 an appreciation in values. AS the
tariff bill is the leading factor OF the sltua-
ton everything which tends 70 create
sentiment on one side or the other or that
question has influence upon the market;
The election in Pennsylvania was looked
upon i'm the light of an instruction
10 the national law makers TO
modify their views on the tariff, and hence
was made use of by the bulls TO move up
prices There was fairly good buying or
Sugar, which gained per cent IN the day,
having at one time made an advance or -,
subsequently losing 10 all and finally rally
ing s. Distilling was very firmly held,
he buying being mainly for the
Western account. A prominent pear
operator is credited with selling the stock
short, and thus counteracting the lniiu-
ences Of the purchasing movement, the re-
suit being that the shares advanced only
the smallest fraction. Chicago Gas was
also prominent in the dealings; buy
ing on orders from Chicago sent
10 up per cent. IN the
morning, but when this support was with
drawn the short interest took an inning
and broke the shares 1 a per cent, the clos
ing sale being az q rally Of only Is. In the
railway list St. Paul and Burlington dld
the bulk OF the business. Western Union
fiuCtuated within limit OF y per cent,
gaining on the day. In the rest OF the
list the transactions were trlnlng aud the
changes in prices very slight The market
closed generally firm. The bond market
was very strong 81 day. Sales, lUV,VOV
