Stocks-The striking feature about to-
days market for stocks was the absence
of any large offerings TO sell. The sharp
rise of prices at the opening OF the mar
ktt was on a very moderate volume OF
purchases. The buying demand fell of al
most immediately, but prices receued very
slightly and firmly IN the face OF an al
most Stagudnt demand. The bis buyers
were practically out Of the market ana
even the small demand showed few stocks
forthcoming. othat prices moved easily
i'm either direction. Even with the coudl-
ton 50 inviting 10 manipulation. the mar
ket was apparently neglected by all m
tere1tS and many stocks which nave been
active in the recent trading cid not move
at all during the entire day. The total
sales Of 10000 shares is the low record
for several months past Much more an-
imation was manifested In the bond mar
keJ and prices there were stronL, eXer-
ClSiDE sustaining influence on stocks. The
uietress which has fallen upon the stock
market is due 10 Il somewhat unsettled
conviction as 10 the safety and final d.
mansions of the corn crop. The mercur-
ial condition OF the grain markets has
aroused a condition of doubt in the minds
of stock traders and they are waiting TOR
more fixed conditions before putting FUR
Their money on q large scale into stocks.
