Stbuked. The large deanhss covered DOM
railroads and industrials Sugar led
y!th 5000. The course of prices, tenn
porary setback excepted was uniformly
toward higher level and buying was less
exclusively professional than heretofore.
The volume of business at the opening
of the stock exchange was fairly large
and strong tone was evident. The tenn
per of speculation at IL o'clock continued
decidedly bullish and improvements were
made in most share values. London pur-

parted by the reduction of " per cent to
$i.S8 in the posted rates of sterling ex-
change by leading drawer The upward
tendency of the market was checked
around 1880 a. m. on partial abatement
in the covering demand, together With
sales for profits. The market at mil ay
was quiet, with the selling pressure I'll
in evidence.
