wall Street DEVELOPMENTS.

iods today when the market for stocks
had an appearance of actual dullness.
But this was only by contrast with re-
cent markets. The total sales fell below
half 2 million shares by over $4,000
shares, which is what it did not do for
any whole trading day of last week.
There was a large falling off also in
the activity in the bond department.
Whatever striking animation there
was. was in the first half hour of trad
ing.
Prices of many stockx were carried
below Saturdays close. Although there
was a firmer tone later and slight re-
coveries. the market failed to fully re-
gain itself before the close. and conse-
ouently prices of most of the active
leaders Of the market show only slight
changes from yesterday. The net
changes, though slight, are mostly
gains. one or two of the grangers being
executions. Sugar again assumed a
prominent part in the dealings, and
touched new high record price at
1879, but receded nearly a point near
the close.
While the early strength carried
many stocks to a point or over above
Saturdays close, the gain was in most
cases. practically wiped out.

cent; last loan. IL; closed offered at
