at the Stock Exchange was dull and pro-

stock were traded In. while the dealings
in railway and miscellaneous bonds foot

totals. The fluctuations in prices were
on par with the transactions, very few
stocks changing as much as a point du-

the last transaction recorded was at

The selling OF Telegraph had little In
hucnce on the general list, however, ana
before the expiration of the first hour
Of business. the entire list was on the
advance once more. The buying was
based on the idea that the Clearing House
Loan Committee intended to issue certl-
fcates at their meeting to-day. II was
argued that this action would be of mate
rial assistance to merchants who are UNI
able 70 place their paper at present, and
that the security markets would reflect
the Improvement IN mercantile circles
later on. The traders at once began to
discount a probable issue Of certificates.
and their moderate purchases soon
brought about general advance In
prices. Manhattan bounded up pa 10

and there was a disposition TO put out

on call rose to 8 per cent, but under

quickly returned TO per cent. After
borrowers had supplied their wants
there were tenders as low as S44 per
