Stocks-To-day's stock market was
| active and strong, the dealings were
remarkably well distributed, and the
strength was more generally diffused
than at any time during the week.
There was an evident accession of out
side interest in the market in the shape
of orders through commission houses,
as was to be expected after the sharp
rise of the last few days. Prices were
pretty we'll marked up at the start and
selling to realize was on quite lib
eral scale after the opening hour. The
offerings were well absorbed, however,
at small expense to values, the market
being sustained meanwhile by the not
able upward movement Of some usual
ly obscure stocks. After this first real
izing had been digested there was a
breathing spell, and prices then
mounted to the best of the day. In the
later afternoon, however the burden OF
realizing overcame the market and
prices yielded all around. A number
of the recent leaders lost practically all
of their earlier gains, notably B. & O.
stocks, Southern and Central Pacific
and Southern Railway preferred, which
rose early from one to two points.
The high priced specialties and stocks
of local corporations were subjected TO
renewed bear pressure and showed
notable declines, especially Tobacco
and Consolidated Gas, which declined
21a and 3 points respectively. A frac-
ton was knocked off prices all through
the list, and net gains in the general
list were brought below a point. But
very substantial rise in prices re-
mains nevertheless, gains being quite
generally diffused throughout the list.
The grangers and Pacifics, the South
westerns, the coalers and number OF
soft coal roads all have gains to show
approaching a point. Louisville con-
tinued to be taken on a very large
scale, and was pushed up at one time
to SIN Southern Railway preferred
declined on realizing with the publica-
ton of the dividend announcement and
the statement of finances of the year.
Minneapolis & st. Louis made bril-
liant advance of 65s, the second pre-
ferred rising 21a. Iowa Central prefer
red, the Evansville & Terra Haute
Hooking Coal and Illinois Central were
some of the usually inactive stocks
which gained notably from 1 to 2lla.
The iron and steel stock Jagged
throughout, except Tennessee Coal,
which moved upwards again to near The
high point. Late realizing was in part
due to a revulsion in the recent conf
dence over the money market outlook,
in spite of the fact that call money
worked lower to-day. The known
movement of money for the week in
dicated net loss in cash to the banks
of over 100000. Last weeks large
gain in cash is now generally attri-
buted to some special operation, and
some anxiety is felt lest the hidden
causes which drained the cash account
of the banks on previous weeks may
have been at work again. The ease of
money in New York continues to be due
to offerings of outside funds. London
bought stocks in this market to-day,
and the fact that the London exchange
would be closed tomorrow had some
influence on the late reaction in prices
here. The market closed rather heavy,
with only a few stocks marked up
fraction in the final dealings.
There was a very large demand for
Southern Pacific Is at or about S4. The
Southwestern mortgages, as a rule,
were strong and prices generally are
higher. Total sales par value $S,775.-
600.
