Stocks.-Many specialties made
sharp advances to-day, while the
changes in the railways were rather
mixed. Interest centered largely in
low-priced stocks, as is shown by the
dealings of $4,000 shares in Texas Pa
cific, and 10000 shares in Denver G.
Rio Grande, which made extreme adj
vances of 2 points each. Atchison
preferred, which of late has a bear
target, made an advance of about 2
points on transactions of 100000
shares. Among the other strong
stocks were c. c. c. & st. Louis, Des
Moines and Fort Dodge, Manhattan,
Mobile & Ohio. Lake Erie & Lake
Western, and Lake Rapid Transit,
which made average advances of 2
points aside from the last mentioned
which rose five and lost half of it.
New York. New Haven & Hartford
advanced points and New York Air
Brake, after an initial break of four
points, rose nine. London was a

about $4,000 shares. but was pur-
chaser in the later dealings. The mar

was attacked, thus checking the rise
elsewhere. Finally, after teverish
fluctuations, Sugar ended Win small
gain. The reported gold developments
in Colorado lent strength to Denver q
Rio Grande, and it's Semi-annual state
ment was also a supporting factor.
Manhattan's rise was probably on ad-
vance information Of the provisions
for a loan for electrical equipments.
The bears as usual sought to bring
about a reaction in the last hour, but
the offerings were we'll taken and as
soon as pressure was removed the mar
ket closed firm. The st. Paul weekly
