NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.
Nfw York, October 4.—The stock market to-
day was quiet but firm to strong from tl.e
opening almost to the close, leaving prices
generally fractions above yesterday. The
temper on tlie street was quite bullish, but
lower prices from London and a few foreign
selling orders made early dealings somewhat
irregular, though it was of short duration.
Western Union was again a great feature of
the day and waslgenerally strong throughout
The belltf that the telegraph deal Is now near
its final consummation 1b gaining ground rap-
Idly. All the rumors which have been clrcu
lated from time to time were again liroit
forth, and dealings In stocks were attended
considerable excitement. "■
%
At times the 1'lse In
stocks was very steady and without a reaction
of any importance till the last hour.
Grangei's came in for a large share
of attention, and a comparatively
small decrease in St, Paul earnings
caused a revulsion of feeling on those stocks
and buylig for both sides of the account was
freely Indulged in. Lackawanna showed the
most strength outside of the leaders, but none
of the remainder are of special interest. The
l eai'E made a slight demonstration in the last
hour, and succeeded In closing the day some
what off from the best figures. The prices at
opening were Irregular, though changes from
ye9tei day's figures ore for ,'ic to only as
a general thing. There was fairly active trad
lng (luring the first half hour and decided
strength developed, Western Union aud St.
Paul being the leaders. The market soon be-
came dull but retained a firm hold through
out, subject only to small fluctuations until
the afternoon, when Northwestern led a mod-
Mate reaction. Higher figures were attained In
(lie last hour, however, when realization again
fagged the list off, but the close was quiet and
steady to firm at near best prices. The net
result of the day's business Is that a great
majority of stooks are fractionally higher, the
only important chaDge being an advance In
Western Union of 1%. Railroad bonds dull;
the market is firm, however, and final prices
generally show small advances.
Govtmmeiit bonds dull without changes,
closing bids.
