FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL


SATURDAY, Aug. 25-6 z. M.
The stock market continues heavy and depressed.
An stocks fell Off to-day but Cleveland and Toledo,
and that was bolstered up by the efforts of q clique
IF sneculators. who distributed orders through the
street so widely that most of the brokers at the
board were buyers. II is spasmodc movement,
which will terminate after few convulsive kicks.
At the first board Indiana SIS declined per cent;
Illinois Central Bonds, l; Canton Company, l; New
York Central Railroad, 1t Erie Railroad, 3; Har-
lem, ; Reading 2; Cleveland and Pittsburg, l.
Cleveland and Toledo advanced per cen. State
stocks were quite active to-day. Two lots Of Virgil
mia 6s Of $4,000 were sold this morning, both bear
sales, for decline. Erie and Reading were sold to-
day in large lots principally for cash. The market
is pressed down by the operations of holders. Par
ties who purchased at low prices are now realizing
and the result is just what we long ago anticipated
The fancies will go down long way before they
viii find permanent resting place. They have
been carried up along with other stocks, simply by
the force Of speculation, and now that holders and
outsiders have commenced looking about they will
thin out their supplies by getting rid Of the poor
and keeping the coed.
AT the second board the market was shade bet
ter for some stocks, but there demand of con-
sequence. Western railroad stocks Of fancy char
acter were dull and depressed. Most of the sales are
washes got up by spectators for a rise to sustain
the market. By operations of this kind they get
higher quotations reported than actual sales would
show and give fictitious tone to the market. We
shall see Of these days stocks of the kind al
ude to drop down several per cent, and then there
will be considerable anxiety to get out first.
