New York, March u.-While specula-
! ton at the stock exchange was extreme
| ly dull again to-day, the tone was firm
throughout the season The fuctua tions
| in majority of instances were confined
| within narrow limits, but the changes.
| almost without exception, were in the
| direction of higher prices. This gave con-
| hdence to local traders, especially in view
| OF sales Of international stocks by she
| foreigners, and the break of cents in
| the price of wheat. The only stock in
which there was any decline TO speak of
| in the early dealings was in Tobacco,
| which on vague rumors that the direc-
| tors had not yet decided upon a plan
| for the retirement of the scrip fell from
| 1875 to 7712. A recovery to 7SIa followed.
| The Changers, Louisville and Nashville,
| Western Union and General Electric i'm
| proved Is to q per cent, but Missouri Pa
| cific rose Is, Sugar l, Delaware and Hud-
| son IA, Omaha, H. Manhat-
tan, 26 and Consolidated Gas
| priced stocks was one of the futures of
! the days operations. Harlem, which is
| rarely traded in was taken at 296dS00, the
| highest figures for over a year past. The
! jump in Consolidated Gas was due to the
/ reports that the movement for a reduc-
| ton in the price of gas by the state legis-
| lature was losing force. A further ad-
in ra~fnn Of FnfiT ad ~ h.,
| trust had less effect on the stock than
was expected probably for the reason
| that the trend of legislation at Washing
! ton is claimed TO be not exactly to the
] liking of the officials of the company. The
! rise in Manhattan was occasioned by pur-
| chases to cover short contracts, and when
! the demand from this source abated the
stock reacted nearly a point from the
| highest. The general list reacted X to
! y per cent, but closed firm. The total
| transactions were only 102 301 shares, in
| Guiding 5000 Manhattan 12,900 Sugar. $500
| st. Paul and $500 Tobacco Net changes
| show gains of p to IL, Omaha leading.
| Tobacco was an exception, losing 4 per
cent Consolidated Gas jumped 24h 60

| aggregated 100000.
