NEW YORK MARKETS.

NEW YORK, y. y, Jan. e.-The stock mar
ket to-da, dull, but the dullness was more
than made up by tie strength. The bears seemed
anxious TO reduce their short lines, and this is
attributed the attempt mad to smash L ather
preferred and Manhattan. 1t was said that the
drive at these stocks was made with view OF de-
moralizing holders OF granger and other leading
shares Instead OF aCco plish ng its object nearly
the entile list ruled strong from start to finish,
and each slight reaction brought in buyers, with
the result estab hing the higher quotations rul-
ing before the raids
Higher cables from London, the ease in money
on call, with light Withdrawals OF gold from the
sub-treasury and the belief that arrangements
have been perfected TO assist the treasury IN case
of further heavy Withdrawals were the important
bull factors. There was also less talk Of probable
large shipments OF gold by saturdays steamers
The advance in prices was equal TO 12@1$4 per
cent; Lackawanna, tobacco, sugar, New Jersey
Central, Louisville and Nashville and the gran
gers leading. Among the speciaties, rubber COM
mon rose 23s and metropolitan Traction 1S.
Manhattan rose l TO 9S12, fell 10 $685.. and
closed at 97I4. Rumors were afoat that The city
taxes on the property would be increased, but the
matter is already before the Court OF Appeals and
b decision is expected at Iime Until this is
decided it is hardly to be expected that any effort
viii be made by the city authorities to put on
more trains. Leather preferred broke from 6OI3
to 5SI2 and stories were afioat that the company
was trying to secure loan of S2,0000O0. II was
also said that the payment of the dividend would
in all probability be postponed. The stock closed
at 57Ss. Speculation left on firm in tone. The
Bonds were higher Sales were SI.71S.OGO
