| New York, Jan. 19.-Advances in The
stock market were quite general to-day.
! The reactionary tendency on yesterday,
| due to extensive realizations and sales
| for the short account, ended abruptly with
the opening of business this morning. The
| business of the London market, the re-
! duction of the discount rate of the I'm
perial Bank of Germany and advices from
| Washington that the Cameron resolutions
| on the Cuban question would be shelved,
| all contributed to the strength of local
| reputation. Before the expiration of the
| first half hour of business, Sugar ran off
| point on the announcement of reduc-
| ton of 1-16q1sc in the prices of refined
| sugars, and the general list receded L@
per cent. in sympathy, but the decline
was soon recovered, and as the day wore
| along, material advances on the figures of
| yesterday were recorded. The recogniz-
| ed bulls gave their specialties effective
| support and commission houses generally
reported numerous outside orders, the de-
mand being stimulated by the reaction
| of 12q1 per cent, and the inability of the
bears to shake out long stock. The con.
| tinued low rates for money also exerted
an important influence on the security
markets. Consolidated Gas led the up
ward movement, rising 315 per cent on
rumors that the efforts making at AL
| bany to reduce the price of gas from
| SIPS to 81, viii result in a compromise.
! Manhattan and Spirits jumped about 2
| points. Chicago Gas rose IA per cent.
| There has been heavy inside buying of
| this stock for some days on the belief that
| the board will permit the constituent com
| panies to consolidate in the near future.
! The dealings aggregated 227, 1881 shares, and
were well distributed. Speculation closed
| firm in tone at a small reaction from the
highest. Net changes show advances of
| 14Q115 per cent, Sugar leading. In the
| specialties, Consolidated Gas gained 81
| per cent. The bond market was firm. The
| transactions aggregated $2,237,0O0.
