New York, July 1.-THE bulls had their
inning to-day and the bears. in the In
dustrials, had an uncomfortable time of it.
The official denials that the Chicago Gas
receivership was imminent, was the first
disappointment for the shorts. The gold
exports Of $4,000, having been shipped by
the st. Louis to-day, and $50, 900 engaged
for the Normania, sailing tomorrow,
also failed to start general liquidations.
The bears were ready to realize this and
tried to cover. The result was an advance
of Y to 39s per cent. Leather preferred
made the greatest gain, selling up from
S21s to S6ls. Chicago Gas rose ga to 53l2Np

to 3S24 The railway list was firm through
out the day. The other prominent rail-
ways moved up a to q per cent, anG
closed at or near the top of the day. In
the active stocks National Starch first
preferred fell to IS. The strength of
the railway list was partly due to the
favorable railway earnings for the sec,
ond week of July and the month of June;
to reports from the west that the weather
in the spring wheat belt was improving
and that there was no truth in the early
rumOrs of frost and a belief that the
presidents of the trunk lines and other
roads composing the Central Traffic As
ISOLATION will institute important reforms
in the management of railroads at the
meeting on Tuesday next at the Oriental
hotel, Coney Island. The market closed
firm. with prices for the active issues
Is to liz per cent. above yesterdays finals.
The Industrials gained 4 to 3B per cent.
Total sales were 290,4i3 shares, including
400 Sugar. 4O,50O Chicago Gas and $500
