STOCKS FAIRLY. ACTIVE.
The Opening Tone Firm. With Sign

The Opening Tone Firm. With Signs
of Weakness Later.
/ New York, Dec. 1.-THE stock market
this morning was fairly active and ire
gular. At the opening the tone was gen.
orally firm, but signs of weakness soon
appeared. There was no change In the
situation as outlined above, but as is
usually the case at the close of the week
the active traders were disposed to real
ize profits and there was little support to
the market aside from the purchases of
the commission houses. The st. Paul
statement of the second week of De-
cember showed an increase or $ll9,2s6 and
on this exhibit the stock was notably
strong in the London market and other
American stocks advanced in sympathy.
Strong features at the opening were Fed
eral Steel and the Union Pacific issues.
Manhattan was weak on the published
utterances OF the Tammany Hall leader
| in regard to the construction of the un-
derground road. Rather heavy features
were New York Central and Louisville
and Nashville.
The bank statement was unduly delayed
and it was surprising showing when II
appeared. Surplus reserves increased
$230.o0O. owing to a gain in actual cash
of $2,161,000, while deposits rose only
$40, 124 600. The latter resulted from the
gain in cash and the increase in the loan
account of Sc 246, coo. Practically the whole
list participated in the recovery in the
final dealings. with the grangers, Tennes-
see Coal and Iron and New York Central.

The largest weeks business in the his
tory of the Stock Exchange was done this
week. The total sales of stocks were
4,253.22S shares and the total sales of

records. The distribution of business in
different stocks was broader than ever

This table gives the stocks that have
made the best showing. to be sure, but
there ts hardly a security on the list that
has not he'd lis own, and many have had
a steady, but slower, advance.
The comparison of sales of various
stocks last year and during the first half
of December Is even more suggestive and
interesting. There were 5.1u shares of
Capital Traction sold in 1887 and in the
first half of December of this year
the number of shares sold was 2.713 or
more than half the total for 1857. The
sales of Metropolitan Railroad last year
were 593, while IN the two weeks in ques-
tion the sales were 253. The sales of Gas
during the same periods were 1850 and
76o.
Other stocks like Lanston. Graphic
phone common and preferred, while they
do not show such a marked increase are
yet dealt in much more than formerly,
and there is most gratifying increase
everywhere.

The earnings of St. Paul for the second
week of December, although they were
gratifying, did not prevent selling of the
stock. The fluctuations In St. Paul We're
