the Stock Exchange to-day were even less
interesting than usual. During the great
er part of the session speculation was
characterized by extreme dullness, and a

ed Still all things, considered, a firm
tone prevailed, the less warlike tenor of
the news from Crete, and the comparative
steadiness of the London and continental
markets, inducing more or less covering
by timid traders. At the opening Sugar,
Jersey Central and Manhattan
ran off 1aQ% per cent, but
had little effect on the remainder of the
list, and when Tobacco suddenly moved
up from 771a to 79, the early fractional

Pacific suddenly ran off III per cent. and

cent. Missouri Pacific was considerably in
fuenced by the heavy deficit shown by
the annual report. The execution of a sell
ing order of about 1000 shares in Rubber
common caused lightly margined holders
to get out Of their stock. Omaha common
declined from 569s to 55a. Notwithstand-
ing an advance in refined sugars the stock
lost part of the Improvement previously
noted, and closed only Is above last nights
figures. Among the specialties, Long Is
land dropped 3, while Pullman and Con-
solidated Gas each advanced 1 per cent.
Speculation closed steady in tone. Net
changes in the usually active shares were
fractional In the Industrials Tobacco
closed Ia per cent higher on the day.
Rubber dropped to 1874, and the pre-
ferred 31s to 69lA per cent. Missouri Pa
cffic was also weak and lost rs per cent.
