New York, Jan. 5.-There was a slight
increase in the volume of business at the
Stock Exchange to-day, and the dealings
were attended with firmness throughout
the session. At the start feeling of hest
fancy prevailed, operators generally pre-
ferring to await developments at WASH
ington before entering into new engage
ments. Subsequently, when 1t was an
nounced from Washington that the Senate
had not taken up the Cameron Cuban res
olution and that there was no prospect OF
immediate action in the matter, the bears
tried to cover in various parts of the
room. At the same time the bulls plucked
up little courage and bought moderate
amounts of the leading issues. The ad-
vance which followed was equal to 1A9
| 3% per cent, Consolidated Gas leading
| The improvements in the earnings OF Lou
| isville and Nashville and st. Paul for the
| fourth week in December, the absence Of
| further bank failures at the west, the talk
! of dividends on Omaha, common, and Chi
| Cages Gas, and a rumor that the Della
| ware and Hudson dividend would not be
| reduced after all, added to the bullsh
| feeling The directors of the last named
! company are to meet tomorrow to decide
| the rate to be paid this year. The fact
| that congress will take up the Union Pa
| cific funding bill, led to increased activity
in the stock named and an advance from
| 50 to 10 resulted. The most important ad-
/ vances were: Consolidated Cas- 3A to
| 142% Sugar rs to 111ss; Bay State Gas,
| to 1856, Burlington and Quincy IL to 707s;
| St. Paul rs to 1875; Rock Island, rs to 81;
| Chicago Gas, / to 74A; Delaware and Hud-
| son, Q to 100; General Electric, l to 3334
! Manhattan, rs to S9A; Omaha, IA to 40.
| Tobacco was weak, falling IA to 1854 at
one time on the cut of cents per pound
4 in Battle AK plug. Later the stock raj
| lied to u.s. in sympathy with the rise in the
| general list. Speculation closed firm in
! tone. Net changes show gains or A0SA
! per cent Total sales were only no. loo
shares, including 1850 Sugar; 1890 Bur-
lington and Quincy, and 1890 st. Paul.
| Bonds were higher, the transactions foot
ed up 1,1O7. 900 J. & w. Seligman & Co.,
will ship 155, 900 ounces of silver; NJ. Gug-
| genheimer Sons, 100000 ounces, and Zim-
norman & Forshay. 5000 ounces to Eu-
| rope on the steamer st. Louis, sailing to-
| morrow.
