FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.


THURSDAY, Feb 29-6 p. M.
The stock market opened quite heavy this morn
ing, so far as prices were concerned. There was
good deal of activity in certain railroad securities,
but the tendency was downward throughout At
the first board Nicaragua Transit declined per
cent; Cumberland Coal, o. Erie Railroad, Il Michi
gan Central, 4; Michigan Southern, !; Galena and
Chicago, Cleveland and Toledo,2. Wisconsin Lake
Shore Railroad advanced per cent Milwaukee
and Mississippi 1. small lot of each sold at the
improvement. There was very large movement
in Cleveland and Toledo. The sales at the first
board sum up nearly five thousand shares, opening
at 77a and closing It II per cent A few days
since this stock was firm at SO 81 per cent, with
a very active business. A contemporary alluded this
morning to rumors relative to the non-paynent Of
the next regular dividend. We have no official
information on that point and cannot, therefore,
vouch for its truth or falsity Reading improved
fraction towards the close. The tendency of this
stock is upward, and there IS doubt but that it
will steadily, but gradually, appreciate in market
value. Western railroad stocks, as general thing
were well sustained. This class of securities must
take the lead Of all others in the market. There is
q wider margin in them for improvement than in the
class of stocks representing roads in the middle
or Eastern States, and as investments at present
prices they superior to anything else of the kind
in existence In few years, the country becomes
developed through which the principal roads of
that region pass, the stocks will rule in market
value at points far above rates current to
be beyond the views of capitalists generally and the
opportunity now presenting, probably never will
occur again. 1t is too great prize to let slip with
out effort. few shares of any well located rail-
road in Illinois or Wisconsin, purchased at their
present market value, no matter what it may be,
will produce q greater income the investment
than the stock Of any company in any other section
Of the Union. Most of the roads in the States
above named have not cost over twenty-five thou.
sand dollars per mile, and their gross earnings are
very large on the amount invested In this and the
Eastern States railroads cost from fifty to hun
dred thousand dollars per mile, and do not earn in
gross but little per mile than those favorably
located west Of Lake Michigan. As permanent and
productive investments, the railroads Of the West
ratively low prices now ruling for Western rail
road stocks cannot he otherwise than a tempo
rary matter In view of their great resources grand
prospects, cheap construction, moderate operating
expenses, remuneratiDg prices for travel and traffic.
and the fact that their construction accounts can
easily he closed, they hold out inducements for in
vestment seldom met with in this species of pro-
perry.

sales of bonds and stocks were made al auction by

At the second board the market was very quiet,
without any material change in prices. Cleveland
and Toledo sold down to n, but recovered slightly,
and closed at 77a per cent, seller three days. Cum
berland fell off per cent and closed heavy. Erie
was firm at mornings prices. Reading had an up.
ward tendency al the close. After the board 934
per cent was bid, and several large orders re-
NAMED in the hands of brokers untitled. Railroad
bonds are in better hands than we have known for
years This class of railroad securities has settled
down in the hands Of capitalists who hold them for
permanent investment A few years ago they were
bantered about the street, and every method was
resorted to to get rid Of them at almost any price,
Then everybody wanted to sell; now everybody
wants TO buy. They are the most available security
on the market, and particularly desirable on &C
count of the fixed income derived from them
Those who look for safety, security, and sure,
steady revenue, first class railroad bonds-par-
ticularly those secured by first mort@ge-present
advantages of the most desirable character.
