The New York Tribune of to-day, in referring to
the recent decline in Railroad stocks in that market,
says
1t is something of an anamoy to witness for such
length of time falling market, with money Offering in
the street in groanng abundance at g. and cent
but the revulson which produced this money glut
scattered the seeds ofdistus far and wide and the fruits
thereof to be witnessed in the excessive caution of the
great outside public to invest capital where the evidences
of prosperity and safety not clearly demonstrated
Hence the depression in railway shares which constitute
good proportion of the active stocks list the traf
fc returns furnishing arguments against the inevitable
present, which cannot be eectuay opposed in holding
out the promises of the scarcely less certain
mote and indefinite future
