SATURpAY. MAY 2-P. ".


SATURDAY, May 2-P. W.
There was not much animation in the stock market
to-day and the transactions excepting IN Enc were
moderate. The market was well sustained generally
al the morning Board although there were free sales
on the part of the bears AT the Second Board the
market was dull with the exception of Erie and closed
after the Board at lower prices. The transactions in
Erie to-day add up some 1900 shares. TIL,
market opened at 42l, advanced to 43@
and fell back to 422 42i, being offered ait sr
the Second Board at 43, buyer 90. 1t is
understood that party has been formed in this ste cE
who WELD large capital and who have been ouy ing
for few days past Toledo was strong until the close
when it sold at 69 after being TO- Sellers options ar
offered in this stock at than the usual differ ence
Harler, recovered somewhat to-day, selling at is. 1t
is Understood that the new management viii insist up on
such payment FROM the New Haven Company for the
Use of the track from Williams Bridge, as Will be
list compensation for the service. For Nicara qua
the bid was about q. There is ruraor that avery
large private sale has been made of this stock
al a considerable advance on this pnce Dat
we could not trace it. Reading was quite heavy
est the close at sl2 La Crosse was firm at ~ bid
Southern Hchigan is less active than Tor some Gays
past and was GA at the cose-aboxt the sssne as OF
Saturday Gaena was offered freely, and teh OH 70
1901. There was nothing ofimporance done IN kah-
road Bends or State Stocks excepting IN iiihos Ceh-
trail. which were steady at S9l d9es-an Improvement
Of 4, cent. La Crosse land grant bonds were
also better, and other descriptions wei sustained
California Is. sold as low as AZ. The advices
CO. o.l;fo.nia do not indicate any very ex-
cessive anxiety the part of the Legislature or
r,eople to assume these bonds The condition Of the
stock market generally, to-day, would indicate more
eo,a division of forces than Of late, and that while
the hears are by no means alarmed at defecons
from their ranks and st willing to keep ont ait
line of shorts there is also more disposition III some
quarters to operate for rise, and more willing
| ness among speculators to make combinations by
| which to operate upwardy on prices. The pres
| ont ease in money favors such arrangements,
and the comparative low prices which sew
| eral stocks have touched induces parties to
form clioues The bulls argue rise upon increased
receipts of the various railroads after tie navigation
of the lakes opens and upon the general prosperity OF
the country while the bears predicate fall upon the
effect ofthe foreign specie drain now upon
the expectation of very stringent money market IN
July, if not earlier, upon the general principle that
the railroad system, as at present managed, Is
failure and upon coming financial crisis the exact
| advent of which they do not pretend to fix. Time
will show which party are correct and meanwhile the
| general public appear to avoid Wal street, aud the
fluctuations from day to day mainly the result of
the movement of the street spectators, pure end
! simple.
