The stock market was active in the flrst hour to-day and the movement of prices was downward, but in the aubsequent dealings there was a strange lack of both force and direction. Nearly one-hali of the total business waa done in the din.nmg hour and the transactions in Reading during the day were nearly .ne-lia.f of the whole volume. It may be perceived easily that, In the afternoon hours, tiie general market pS-B8S_tsd f- v features of interest. Reading resumed thc leadership, and, ia addition to its great activity, was exceptional also by a tiual loss of 2 1-4 per cent. Bk other stock approached it tn either respect. St. Paul was second at a decline of 1 per cent, and Missouri Pacitic was third in point of activity and alone in scoring an advance of l 1-2 per cent. The quarterly dividend on IfJBBJSBfl Pacitic stock was not passed, although th'.- yc-arly rate was reduced from 7 to 6 per cent. The action of the directors was made known just before the close- oi business, and on that account was not iatlueLtial on tiie course ot prices. The aeivunce in the stock OS Outed before the directors had aaBMBbkd. The g.-iicral market closed about 1-2 per cent lower mau on Saturday, and although tue last pru es were 1-4 tu 1-2 par cen* above the lowest point, the closing won quiet ond _fl_UB_Ml_BB The disappointment over the Missouri Pae iii". dividend may explain tho wakiiess of R.-ailing and a fe-vv other vulnerable Mocka Poverty ol invention has nut always been a bear sham t er? istic, but th'- opoMlOSS for a fall seem to have kassi thrown b.i'-k la Bay upon the "*stocU~ diction that Bbc Reading ieorg__-J-_-ti_B will tumble to pieci-.s baO-MBSS the eom[)Bny will not be* uh!. to Qoat itas new general wadMfaBhm be,nels inini' eliut'"ly.
