has bsppesed. Upon the opening Of the Board con-
n'uDicatcn from Mr.. Little read making the a.
neureemen Of bis Suspension and proposng,, settle his
contracts at the prices otoday How when the p,Y
melt Of differences ia to be made has rot, BELIEVE
been decided upop and probably cannot be until NJ
Lates condition oas be more accurately ascertaced
Mr. Ltiles liabilities must be very large his contracts
being vartousy estimated to reach from Eve 70 ten
milcns, and his Iosses, paid and unpaid recenty at
half q million TO a million. Three houses alone are
ported to have claims upon him to the amount Of three
hundred thousand dollars and Of these parties ha,
paid him within the year some two hundred thousand
dollars of dfererces Always q Bear in Ralooad
Stocks, Mr.. Little has probably done by his
Gales of imaginary Stocks 70 depress the market
value Of railroad property than any other per-
or event, His business has been to immense exc
tent, frequently buying and selling hall million of
stocks ia day, and requiring the cearest and most
comprehensive grasp of mind to manage it. With a
deposition to look almost exclusively upon the gloomy
side Of affairs and to consider railroad property al
most valueees almost alone Mr.. Little has kept
largely short ostocks when there every indication
In the financial horizon abroad and at home, that the
clouds were dispensing, and when a vigorous bull
movement on his part would have resulted in large
profits. The Unexpectedly favorable advices by the
last steamer with the increasing ease 10 the
money market here have produce1 rise
in the stock market which was resulting in
daily differences TO large amounts against Mr.
Little but the suspension of to-day precipitated
by the Rock Island movement of which stock he
largely short at low figures with but few cash shares
the market This stock would probably have goneto
lO7 or l0s but for the check of Mr. Ltes suspension.
We pretume Mr.. Titles principal shorts in Cen
trial. Erie, Reading and Toledo, also Gaze
"a, Pittsburgh Michigan Southern, &c. The
only stock, we believe, in which he was
a consistent bull is Delaware and Hudson.
What will be the effect of Mr. Lhtles retiring from
the market operator was question of diligent
nqury to-day in the street without any definite result
beng arrived at. The general impression appears to
be that eventually the market will stand at lower fig
ures by reason Of it. 1t is very certain that If Mr..
Little had been buyer Of all the stocks necessary to
fiji his contracts, as they matured the market must
have gone up, probably y cent. portion Of these
stocks, however, mutt stll be bought by other
parties who, holding Mr.. Lttes contracts
have sold on sellers option, intending to
deliver when the stock was delivered to them.
Many others also have taken Mr. Littles sellers
op'ions and cold the stock on buyers option at diff
ference Of y cent, making what is called in the
stock which they were carrying for their customers to
M. Little. In ell these the stock must be
bought in the market aud this will assist in sustain
ing prices The immediate effect of the announcement
OF the Suspension at the Board CONSERVATION and
uncertainty as to what action to take, and what
should DO the effect upon prices. The bus-
nes however, was quite large, and generally
at considerable decline. Erie fell off . p cent,
Reading y cent, Central /! p cent Toledo y cent,
Panama "a y cent, Rock Island ID y cent Michigan
Southern IL y cent, &c. Galena sold up to l2e, an
advance Of . cent but closed at ll9. After the
Board there a better feeling, and at the Second
Board piics were quite buoyant again. Erie closed at
62I, the price Of yesterday; Reading Si, which is
trife better than yesterday; Cerra 92I, advance
Of on the morning price; Toledo 75i, an advance Of
y cent; Michigan Southern recovered Ii y cent,
selling at S9i Rock Island 1921, advance ofli
cent, with lO3 buyer thirty, bid for 900 shares;

&C. In Railroad Bonds there not much done
excepting in Illinois Central Of which $4,000 sold
