MONEY MARKET.


There has been material variation prices since yes
terdsy and the limited transactions are evidence of the
scarcity Of buyers and sellers The bears disposed
to SELL but the bulls getting cautious. This
is characteristic of that class The higher prices TO-
the faster they buy and the lower they Co. the
disposed they are to SELL bull stock Spectator ge-
Morally buys at &c. refuses to sell at co. and finally sells
at 49, Most Of their operations Of that kind aud
it is not surprising they lose money These
cautious about buying at present prices than
when they ruled thirty and forty per cent higher and
well they may be- Outsiders beginning to find out
that there life in any Of these fancy stocks they
avoid them Some Of them may from time to time be gall
vaniIed strong enough to give two kicks butitis
impossible to give them life again. and the brokers will

have very few on hand and they closely watching
the Market as to get out possible whole The pros
pect of their doing Is by hatsring and
afraid that they will have to wait long time be-
fore they realize their hopes The bears inactive
in the absence ofpurchasrs but apparently ready
to supply any demand, upon any terms. Money con-
tinuss abundant; but there is evidently better ds.
mand in the street, and more paper offering ct the
