STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Small Volume Of Trading, but
Prices Firm at the Close.

In view Of the light volume Of business
reported on Friday as the result OF the
trading on the New York Stock TX
change. recording the smallest DAY
operations 81 ce 1895, IL was not red-
sonably to be expected that activity
would follow Yesterday in a half day
session. oppressed as the market was
by the probable labor troubles result
ing from the trainmen's and conductors
meeting. which was expected TO ratity
the strike vote on the Eastern ran
roads. Only a small attendance on the
floor Yesterday contributed 10 the dul-
ness of the session, and such move
ments we Q recorded were confined
10 the professional element, and the
final result Of the price changes car
ried little significance as defining the
real market temperament. The eNhiol-
ton, such as it was, however, pre-
sented an element of strength, and net
changes al the end Of the session were
chiefly on the side Of an advance.
The publication Of the late j. Pier
pont Morgan's security holdings in The
Tribune yesterday morning revealed
collection Of some odds and ends which
afforded a topic Of conversation among
the brokers and the few who gathered
in the commission houses. especially the
report of only one share Of United states
Steel preferred, which was a surprise
10 the Street generally and called forth
bits Of persinage among the traders
who regarded the showing more as
ioke than a record TO be taken serl-
ously. Had all the conditions been IA
yorable for a decided improvement IN
this market foreign sentiment Woula
have been helpful. as cheerfulness was
exhibited on the foreign bourses as the
result Of better outlook in the Bal
kans. Naturally, this tone Of improve
ment abroad had some stimulating ef-
feet on the opening here, and in Ameri-
can Can, Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Amalgamated Copper, Reading and
United States Steel common initial
transactions displayed good fractional
gains
After the first impulse Of strength.
there was a slight reaction, following
the first half hour, and the market be-
came dull, but a firm tone set in which
continued 20 the close. Canadian IA
cific was the strongest Of the list and
the feature Of the session. but Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific assumed
strong positions, contrary 10 the eN-
pectations Of some traders who had
been bearish. particularly on Southern
Pacific. New York. New Haven &
Hartford was one Of the strongest
stocks on The list, although the trading
was OF NJ Importance from the stand
point Of the aggregate number Of
shares.
Among the items Of news Of the day
was an announcement that the sus-
pended First National Bank Of Nc
Keesport. which closed It's doors as
result Of the failure Of the First-Second
National Bank OF Pittsburgh, would
reopen for business on next Wednes-
day. This was accepted as an indica-
ton that the worst had been realized
in connection with the Pittsburgh fail
ure and that the banking situation
would not be further affected outside Of
the institution Itself as had been al
ready reported.

This recommendation says that in the

that hanging a man does not reform

the matter in hand, it is still a good
argument for the plank in Dr. Hat
fields platform favoring working these
prisoners on the public roads. The
labor Of any man ought to be worth
many times G5 cents per day TO the
State on the roads, to say nothing Of
the moral and reformatory advantages
OF outdoor labor for these unfortunate
people. This system is no less than
a crime. it is slavery is another form
and places cheap labor in competition
with, honest labor on the outside. This
is reform that needs immediate at
tention at Charleston. The legislature
should set aside one day at least and
pass a bill providing for this much
needed change.
