Railroad Stocks are far from active, the leading stocks
being under the control of cliques, of whom the Street ba9
a wholesome dread.

Miscellaneous Stocks are weak, and the busines 3 is mostly
confined to Pacific MAU, Canton, and Quicksilver.

Petroleum Stocks are steady, and a fair business is doing+
with special inquiry for low-priced stocks.
Express Stocks are heavy, and are offered in large blocla•
