The stock market to day was extremely dull after the first half hour, and w hile heavy to weak, there was almost no feature of interest developed throughout the session. The bank statement was a disappointment to the bears, and prevented the usual Saturday selling move inert at the close. Richmond and West Point prersrred recovered handsomely from its late depression. Movements in most stocks were for small fractions, and were devoid entirely of feature. The temiier of the room was conser vatively bearish. The opening was heavy at fractional declines, which were supplemented in the early trading by further losses. The market became extremely dull after the first attack was completed, and from that time deal ings were featureless beyond a fairly firm tone, which lasted till the close, which, however, was barely firm at or near the lowest prices reached. Closing prices are generally lower, though in a few cases for more than 46 per cent., the exceptions being Burlington and Quincy, which lost 144 per cent., Kansas and Texas 146, and Pacific Mail %.
