New York. Jan. 11.-During the greater
part of the day speculation at the stock
exchange was characterized by extreme
! dullness, and with rare exceptions the
fluctuations were too slight for comments.
At the opening quotations were fraction
ally higher, in sympathy with a small adj
vance in London, but almost Immediately
the traders showed a disposition to sell,
partly in anticipation of a vote by the
4
funding bill. Union Pacific was pressed
for sale right from the start, and al
though bought but moderately, the stock
fell to Ga. The only other declines of i'm
portance were is in Manhattan to ST.
on the fear that the hearing in the Hen
dirk case before the state railway COM
mission may result in disclosures unfav-
orabe to the company; 81 in Wheeling
and Lake Erie preferred; 15s in American
Spirits; 2 in Lackawanna; ~ in Jersey
Central; in Big -Four, and IA in General
Electric. The sharp drop in Union Pa
cific and some of the SpecialtieS just
named, had comparatively little effect on
the general market, which toward the
close rallied 14GA, Sugar being especially
firm The total transactions were 1885,,
56S shares, of which 2,400 were in Union
Pacific, 10000 Sugar, 900 St. Paul, and
1900 in Burlington and Quincy. Not an
other stock on the list figured for over
3,OOO SnareS. IL is almost unnecessary TO
say that the room traders had a monopoly
of the days business. Speculation closed
steady in tone. Net changes show de-
clines of AQ23s per cent, Union Pacific
leading. Sugar however, gained u and
Omaha common "a per cent The bond
market was irregular in tone. The total
sales were 81 600.
