TUESDAY. Dec. %.
The conflicting views of professional operators
and the manipulation of the stocks of certain of
the local transportation companies resulted in o
repetition Of yesterdays irregular stock mar
ket. The dealings were on a fairly large scale.
with Manhattan Railway again leading in re-
spect to activity; but the market for that stock.
although q fractional net advance in price was
recorded. reflected sales to realize profits.
Metropolitan Street Railway was dealt in q
little more extensively than yesterday.
and after an early decline closed half
q point higher, ex the quarterly divi-
dend. for which the transfer books of
the company closed to-day. The activity in
Third Avenue Railway subsidized at a net decline
Of 5 points. On the other hand. Brooklyn Rapid
Transit became active, and closed nearly l y
cent. higher than yesterday. The revival of
speculation in American Tobacco that was
foreshadowed in yesterdays dealings material
lied to-day. while an increase in the dealings in
Western Union resulted in q net advance Of
nearly q point. These movements affected to
q certain extent the speculation as q whole,
particularly as they were supplemented by an
Improvement in the market for q number of
less active stocks. notably American Spirits.
National Lead, Pennsylvania Railroad. p. c.,
G. and st. Louis and New York Central.
The possibility Of an active money market be-
tween now and the end of tho year continues to
repress trading. particularly by operators
whose capital Is small. The most effective
oearish development to-day was the report
originating in Washington that the Secre-
tary of the Treasury had rendered his resigna-
ton with the view of minimizing friction be.
tween the Administration and tho free silver
element in the party now In power. The circu.
lation Of this report was followed by q
sharp drive against prices, but the mod
crate decline thus brought about was fol.
lowed promptly by a recovery In prices
when the basis for the reports referred
returns which came TO hand to-day were of a
most encouraging character. None was more
80 than that of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy Company for November. The publica.
tion locally of the figures printed further on in
this column invited realizing that left the stock
of tho company fraotionally lower than yester.
day. Other interesting traffic returns that were
made public to-day were those of the Atchison,
Chesapeake and Ohio, and Southern Pacific
companies. London did very little in this
market. its Stock Exchange community be,
ing engaged in making up for the fortnight
ly settlement. Rates for carrying stocks
through. to the new account are about q
quarter of l o cent. higher than two weeks ago
being 4ie@b y cent. for dividend-paying shares
and 5@5l2 y cent. for speculative issues. The
local money market was a shade easier, particu,
larly during the latter part of the day, a circum
stance that contributed to the final rally In
prices. The closing was In tho main steady
with the net fluctuations about evenly divided
In favor of each account.
Final sales compare with those OF yesterday
