NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.
New Yoik, November 18.—The stock market
today was only moderately active and
subjected to spells of positive dullness and
prices were irregular, but in tlie main firm.
Traders still favored a reaction this morning,
and though the general temper was bullish, no
further set back was expected. In this there
was disappointment, however, as liberal for-
eign purchases were made in the early deal-
irgs, which enabled the market to abaoib the
free offerings of stock and even to advance
small fractions. Bearish reports wore re-
ceived from Chicago, and St. Paul
was the most active stock of the
frrcnoon, but the iieus of the day was
r,ot of special importance, though tlie favor-
able tialllc returns had some effect in main-
taining the list during tho afternoon. Read-
ing, Western Unioi: and other loading stocks
were much more quiet than usual, and their
fluctuations were of little significance, hut
Gould stocks came to the li'ont in tho after-
noon and, stimulated oV a reported comple-
tion of leorganlzation plan3, aided by good
foreign buying, advanced rapidly and stand
almost alone this evening in showing the ma-
terial gains for the dav. The market opened
strong at advances of from to !< generally
over last evening's final prices, but
Heading and Northern Pacifls prefovred
were up H. There was a moderate busi-
ness In the lirst hour, but It soon fell
away, »nd the li.-t became quiet and dull.
Prices lr elined to drop in the forenoon, and
act lings were marked by some feverislmess,
wli'le there was no marked change Inquot i
Mors until 2 o'ele-Ck, wil'n a movement iu
Gould properties began. Texas l'dolfl • took
the lead, but the Improvement extend id to
PacificMh|1, Wabash, and Kansas andTexa s.

Fon du I.ac, Wle., November 18.—At the
convention of the union labor party o£ Wis-
consin yesterday, W. U, Behlon o£ Mil
waukee offered a resolution which sets forth
"that it is a poor commentary on American
liberty to see anyone condemned to deati
or life long imprisonment for being a mer a
Eocial reformer, as was tha case of toe
Chicago anarchists," and "protesting
against further interference on the part of
public officers in curtailing our constitu-
tional rights." The resolution was almo3t
unanimously tabled, the convention not
deeming it of proper political nature to be
indorsed.
