NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.
New York, December 20.—The stock market
to-day has been duller than on any previous
day this year and the transactions entirely
prefessloial, being for the most part without
chaiacter or significance. Fluctuations were
confined to the narrowest limit, most of the
list showing less than % per cent between the
extreme prices ol the day, while only four
stocks fluctuated as widely as 1 percent. Out-
side interests were doing literally nothing this
morning, and scalpers who were bearlshly
inclined took advantage of the disquieting
European rumors to raid the list, thouga
the Impression mat'e upon prises was
fcmall in the extreme. There was good
buying of Kansas and Texas, probably
based on the movement among securitv hold
ers to protect their interest*, and stock wa^
lunupl.Vaud reacted slightly, but most of
the gain was letained at the close. Richmond
and West Point was also prominent for
strength, though It was not till late in the day
that it began to move. A sharp spurt la Hick
Ing Valley was a feature of late trading and its
price was advanced 1.^, closing at the bast
figure. The opening was rather heavy, th iugh
Lake Shore with ,V, and Missouri Pactti j with
)U were the only Important declines. The
market exhibited little more animation than
yesterday at that time and prices
shifted eff to email fractions, but. the
list goon rallied. Kansas and Texas
became the feature, but the remainder
did not respond to the strength shown in that
stock, and prices, until well into the aft^r
noon, were on a slightly lower level than
those of the opening. Union Pacific bad a
weak spell, but rallied later with the rest of
the list. Hocking Valley advanced sharply In
(he last hour, aud the general list was firm to
the close, which was very dull. The Cl03tug
piices show irregular changes, but the only
important difference is In Hocking Valley,
w hich is ud per cent.
Railroad bonds were also duller than usual.
Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio firsts
rose 3 to 105; Texas and Pacific ccnsol trust
receipts,3 to HO.
Go\( mment and state bonds dull but steady.
