The gk-ek market today was moderately active but weak almost all day. A determined attack was made upon the list at tbe opening by taarish room traders, and a marked im fn-ession was made upon values, There was voiy ittle support given the list, though there were some buying orders which absorbed the offer ings, but tbe market became weak and de moralized, aud so remained until late in the day. The attack again centered in Richmond and (Vest Point stocks, and dissensious in the Board of Directors, with reports that an injunc tion would bo askisl for to prevent the puymeift of a dividend ou preferred stock, and that the bull pool in the latter had dumped Its stock to day, were put forth its reasons ror the ease with which it yielded to pressure. All tbe active list were attacked, however, and coal stocks and Pacific roads were especially weak. After the selling movement ha l spent its force, there was u partial recovery, though the improvement amounted to fractions only, and did not ma terially affect the result of the day's trading. Some firmness was developed in the afternoon, but the leaders showed little improvement, and though there was no chango in the market after that time, the close was dull aud barely steady, but a shade better than bottom prices.
