THE STOCK MARKET.
FLUCTUATIONS WERE STILL VERY
NARROW.
Tone Was Somewhat Better Than
Thursday. but Not Great
Deal Of Improvement.

/, New York, November 19--The market
today continued its dull and narrow char
actcr. though at some slight Improvement
| over yesterday, both In the volume Of
trading and in the movement Of prices
| The extreme rise on the average was
greater than yesterday, but realizing sales
in the last hour reduced the net gain to
| very narrow fractions.
| The movement; In the spcc!alties was
much freer than in the standard railway
| stocks, end Sugar and Manhattan ran at
| one time points higher than yesterdays
close, and sharp gains were also shown by
Peoples Cas- New Jersey Central, Read
| ing first preferred and Lead preferred.
All of these gains were very materially
lesseped before the close. West Chicago
Street Railway was active and strong and
rose nearly points. But Consolidated
Gas occupied the middle stage and was
the center OF attraction all day. THIS
STOCK opened 3ls points higher ON the be-
lief that large individual interest in one
OF the local gas companies which has
been holding out for the best TERMS had
been brought into tho agreement for
anna! gamataon The stock mounted up
ward by wide bounds--sc,mat.m over q
point between sales--;o 1884,. But the
mind regarding published utterances on
the progress of the plan of consolidation
thsn became manifest IN the equally fe-
veiish course OF the stock toward a lower
level. 1t got as far down as lis, and after
vibrating in a very erratgc manner closed
y. point higher at a net gain OF per
cent.
The later weakness in the market was
que III part to reports from the West Of
railing Off In railway earnings and to
Widespread difficulty over the ma4pte-
nance cf railway rates. There was also
tax that large increases in operating eX-
penses would reduce the net earnings Of
railways for October below what has been
counted upon.
Euyin2 fer London account he.ped TO
sustain. the market in the earlier declines
feature of the day was a sharp rise of

at Galveston.

Galveston, Jan. 28.-Sixty-three days
from Calcutta with ,7O2 bales of jute
butts is the record of the Arthur Head
