STOCKS.-The stock market awoke from
Its iethargy to-day and did a lively bust
ness in the second hour Of the Saturday
Snort session. The volume of the dealings
and the general movement of prices We're
greater than they have been for several
weeks past. The temperance on the
board room floor of one of the principal
operators during the summer rise in
prices and the distribution of large orders
for his account We're undoubtedly the prin-
cipal causes eff the rise. The resistance of
the market during the week to pressure
and gradual hardening of prices in spite
of the dullnesS had laid the foundation for
an advance in prices under any confident
leadership The strength alarmed shorts
ana they hastened to cover. thus helping
along the rise. 1t was noticeable that the
strength and activity of the market We're
transferred from the specialtieS and indus
1rlals TO which they have been largely con-
shares. Gains of about a point or over
Were registered in the granger shares, the
coalers and a number of trunk lines. The
southern lines Jagged in Il rather con-
spieuous manner Notwithstanding the
the strong statement of the Atchison com
net earnings of $13j.799 No small part of
the strength in the railway list was due to
the anticipation that the Supreme Court
upon reassembltng on Monday after its
autumn recess will hand down a decision
in the Nebraska maximum freight rate
favorable to the railroads. This decision
has long been looked forward to to give
an upward impetus to prices, and prices
have in fact been several times advanced
on the assumption that it would be favor
able and have subsequently reacted. SUI
gar was strong and easily led the list with
an advance of rs on reports that a decs-
ion from the treasury department would
soon be forthcoming, applying the counter
vailing duty clause to Dutch refined SUI
gar.
