The stock market to-day was still* a hesi tating one, the principal influences upon it pulltug in opposite directions. The course of prices, therefore, was feverish and unsettled throughout, while In the absence of pressure to sell there was an inclination to return to dull ness. The marset gave evidence aso of be coming narrower, the number of stocks traded in being smaller than a few weeks ago, while a few leading shares monopolize the larger pro porti nof business dune. The favoriles of the Chicago part.v still leii iu both activity and strength, St. Paul and Chicago Gas bci g most prominent, but the heaviest movements to-day were in low-priced shares, and Chicago ai.d Eastern Illinois and Tennessee Coal were specially weak. The market opened with a spurt of activity on selling of stocks by both London and trailers, but there was good sup port accorded, and the fractional losses sustained were soon recovered, while cessation of the pressure to sell resulted In compare; ive dullness and stagnation in prices, wi ich were held at about the best figures until well into the afternoon. Further demuratiiatiuii was e nned by the announcement of extraordinary shin raents of gold. Selling was heavy for boib Chicago people and local operators, and as the amount tube sent on Saturday grew, prices reached still lower figuror. There was no <■<•< sation of selling, and losses extended to large amounts in almost all the active stocks, those which suffered most being C.Jcago Gas aud Eastern Illinois, lissouri Pacific. I-ackawanna, Rock Island, Burlingtou and Quincy and Ten nessee Coal. On the other hand, Lake Shore, Union Pacific and Wheeling and Lake Erie stocks were remarkably well held, and their losses are measured by fractions only. In tie others, however, there were generally large fractions. The downward movement met with no check, and the marxet closed active and weak at the lowest prices of the day.

The day was a lively one in the wheat pit. Prices plunged up and down with a rapidity to satisfy toe most exacting de vorees of the action in the market. The market opened in a weak, almost panirky condition, and was nervous and flighty, with a weak un dertone all day. 80 much grain came on the market at the start, that July, which closed at 99*4 C yesterday, and which opened at this morning, broke with one or two minor reac tions to 97%c. At this point the bears began to take their profits; there was some buying against puts, shorts took a fright and began to cover with the result of lifting the price to 99*4c. Representatives of New York houses then began to *dl. tne big local bear* began to put out short wheata<ain. and the market col lapsed. This time it touched 97but subse quently made a rally to 99c, and broke to 97t£c again. Tne close was firm at 98*>4. Corn was active, fluctuating frequently within the es tab.ished ra ige, the sentiment prevailing being nearly about equally divided. There was no new or imp riant feature presented, the market sympathize g witli wheat to a great **xteQt. July opened at 6 4c. sold off to 6094 c. rallied to 6lc, broke to 60$*c, advanced to 61%e, and dropped fo 6ft*{c, then rallied and closed u* 59V$ r - Toward th close of the day, several lines of long property came on the market, blpp'T* selling freely, which induced other selling; the local crowd taking advantage of the situation and a sharp i rHuk of tne dav was the result, oats were rather dull and * ead.v for a time, but when corn broke, f hstcer *1 re ceded in sympathy with it. g irig iron 46 7 4c for July to 461d,. Provisions weakened eaiir. Thereafter offerings were scarce, tne d'-iu *cd goed. and prices improving until near the ckLe, when they ‘-ased off with corn aud wheat.
