We have nothing new to report in the stock
ket To say that transactions were limited and that
prices were steadily settling downward, would be
nothing new, or we have noticed such state Of
things for several day. past. All the leading fancies
appear to be in very bad way. At the first board

and Worcester advanced per cent. Holders are
anxious to get rid Of the large lots of stock hand
but they can find outside customers. There is no
demand out Of the street. and very little in so that
il useless to anticipate any upward movement IN
prices. On the contrary, it will be impossible to
prevent q very serious depreciation, unless some
thing turns up to give greater activity to the
market and distribute the fancies more equally
among spectators. IL is matter OF some aston
ishment to u.s. how prices are even so well sus
tanned There is hardly a fancy stock on the
list worth what it is selling at, and nothing in
the world but the ease with which large lots are
carried prevents the market from being fairly food
ed with them. As it is, the quantity offering is
largely in excess of the demand. The spring rise,
which holders usually anxiously look for, has been
realized, and we are rapidly approaching the dull
ness and depression Of summer. The prospect Is de
cidedly in favor Of the bears and sellers throughout
the list WILL without doubt, reap rich harvest The
most unfortunate class of SPECTATORS at the present
moment are those who hold large lots of coal stocks
particularly Cumberland and Phoenix.
