AND COMMERCIAL.


TUESDAY, July 22-6 p. M.
II Is very seldom even at this season Of the year,
that we see such dull, stupid stock market as the
past week has presented. great majority of the
brokers are literally doing nothing. Although the
transactions to-day were very limited, slight i'm
provement in prices was realized. At the first
board Illinois Central bonds ad vanced per cent ;
New York Central Railroad, 4; Erie, D; Michigan
Southern, D; Reading, &; Cleveland and Toledo, 4.
This advance, with such small sales, ia most extra
ordinary. No one seems anxious to sell, and there
are very few new buyers. The shorts are not in
want of stocks preferrng to let their contracts
on to later date. The movement in Reading was
stronger to-day than we have seen for some days,
and the stock closed firm at the advance. There Is
very little probability Of suspension of coal ship
ments. The miners cannot agree long enough TO
act and they have little confidence in each other
The only way to bring them to terms Is for the pub
lie to put of purchasing their winter supply Of coal
as long as possible. When such q combination a.
that contemplated by the miners is carried into ope
ration the only way is for the public to combine
against it, There is no danger Of short supply Of
COAL Up to this time there is very little deficiency
compared with last year, and there Is
plenty Of time if the carrying capacity Of the diff
active operation, to give all that il required for
consumption. The Reading Railroad is capable Of
bringing down seventy thousands tons Of coal per
week. This rate Of supply would soon make up
any deficiency and give the usual increase. New
York Central Railroad advanced fraction today,
with small transactions. The new loan Of $500 900
was negotiated in some way privately. 1t is ad-
vertised for sale by the financial agent Of the COM
pany, in lots to suit purchasers The whole matter
is Q mystery and another of those financial lodges
which the Central Company are 50 celebrated for.
Michigan Southern has improved since the closing
of the books per cent. 1t is selling now equal to
SO per cent, dividend on. There was small sale Of
Galena and Chicago Railroad stock to-day at lis
per cent. The books Of this company close for the
dividend on the 25th inst, and open the LIST Of
August. The dividend will be the usual five per
cent. There appears to be movement in Cleveland
and Toledo. At present it has not much strength,
but there are indications of moderate imitation in
prices. Erie Railroad was not in demand to-day.
Prices were well sustained, and closed firm.
After the adjournment of the board the following
stocks were sold at the Merchants Exchange by
