New York, Feb. 25.-There was no relief
to-day from the insufferable dullness that
has characterized the stock market for
some time. The total transactions We're
only SS,221 shares, and number of stocks
were partly neglected. There was an in
disposition to trade on all Sides and even
when II was announced that the Senate
had voted in favor of taking up the San
gully resolution. business remained dull,
although the bears succeeded in bringing
about a generally low range of prices
Speculation at the opening was fairly firm
in sympathy with the receipt of slightly
higher quotations from London, and the
leading shares improved u to u per cent
Buying orders were limited, however, and
as soon as the traders saw that the big
operators We're taking little interest in the
course of the market, they lost no time in
getting out. A little stir was created by
the announcement. that a receiver had
been appointed for the Columbus. Hook
ing Valley and Toledo road, especially as
the stock declined g and the Consolidated
J &. % has t1,n -,IfI =
and rs subsequently advanced SASH per
cent, on well authenticated reports that
the road will be re-organized by j. p.
Morgan & Co, and that the firm will prob
ably offer to advance $25 a bond on the 4
per cents deposited with them, pending
the preparation of plan for the rehabil-
itatlon of the property. After the action
of the Senate on the Sangully matter be-
came known, the bears were more ag-
gressive and a decline of "a to 13s per cent.
ensued right through the list, the
market closing weak at about the
lowest point. Among the higher
priced issues Omaha preferred
advanced 2. while New York and New Ha-
ven and Gas declined 1aQ1 per cent. The
weakest stocks in the late transactions
were Sugar, Manhattan, Jersey Central
and the Changers. Sugar figured for 1880;
Hooking Valley for 10000; Burlington and
Quincy for $500; st. Paul for $500 Tobac-
co for $500; Leather preferred for $500, and
Reading for $500 shares. No other stocks
was traded to the extent of 5000 shares.
Net changes show declines of u to u per
cent. Sugar and Jersey Central led. Hook
ing Valley was an exception, and closed ia
lower on the day. The feature of the
trading in bonds to-day was the strength
of the Hooking Valley issues The total
sales were, 81, $4,000.
