New York. Jan 12-The net change in
prices to-day were rather mixed but with
a preponderance of gains. The movements
| seemed largely to be the outcome of an or
| gained campaign against the short inter
| ests. One group Of stocks after another
was boosted, leaving the bears in doubt
! where the next movement would set in
| The activity and strength We're in the
| gilt-edged railway shares, and then sue
! cessively drifted into the Pacifics the
! Flower stocks, and then back into the Pa
| cities again. Great Northern preferred
made an extreme gain of 794, Pennsylvania
| T. Jersey Central 4, American District Tele-
graph so, Third Avenue 3, Brooklyn Tran
| sit 21a Norfolk and Western >, Burlington
ia and the Pacifcs 2 to S1a, part of which
! gains was lost in the late dealings. The
| iron and steel shares showed a tagging
tendency although they, TOO, enjoyed pc
! RODS of strength
Lendon was again a seller on balance, al
though arbitrage dealings were somewhat
| interrupted as the cable worked poorly
! Predictions of a very favorable Deem
| Der statement stimulated Burlington. The
| Northern Pacifics were strong on rather
| indefinite rumors to the effect that some
! arrangement of their differences with rival
companies was likely. The purchase of
| Jersey Central, rumor had it, was by in
| siders in expectation of increased traffic
| because of new industries recently estab-
| Tished along the line. The extent of recent
| sales for London account is shown by the
| large borrowing of stocks in this market
! until the stocks sold arrive from the other
! SIDE. 1t is estimated that fully 10000
! shares of such stock is now borrowed here,
| of which 600 shares are expected to ar
ing great interest in the New York mar
! let, and IL is estimated that nearly a quar-
| ter of the business on the exchange comes
| over Chicago wires. Transactions in stock
| to-day was little short of a
| million shares. Reaizal lions in the final
| dealings gave the market a heavy tone at
| the closing. Improvements occurred in
| bond price during the forenoon, but the
| market later showed weakness in spots
and closed irregular. Total sales, s., 1875, 600
