MINING BOARD
SATURDAY, Sept. 29-P. N.


SATURDAY, Sept. 29-P NJ.
TIE Stock market was declining for the day
mainly on account of heavy reaizations on the part
Ct the peculators in Harlem, but to some extent in
consequence of fresh onslaught by the inyeterate
bears Of the Board A week or two of reduced busi-
uess upon several Of the South Western RAJ way lines
has given a show Of pausibily to the argum nts Of
these operators for Decline and has had some effect
also upon the minds Of men who take these surface
rpples ss an indication OF the current, and proof
that the business prospects Of the West have been ex
aggeraied. The causes OF temporary slackening in
the grain nj, not taken into the account In
the discussion, but the naked fact that the third
or fourth week Of a month shows smaller ratio OF
increase, is considered pro f positive that the
idea of greater prosperity is delusion. 1t will
be admitted generally, that majority OF the Stock
operators of the Board and street have failed to grasp
the great facts working toward revolution in Railway
property for several months and it is not surprising
that now the same sentiment finds expression among
those Who first pronouncng bonds and shares worth
eas are forced to modify their views in the face of pal
pable facs aud an advance during the time beyond the
most sanauine calculations of the hopeful classes At
the Fret Board the market steady for New-YOrk
Central and Erie and Hudson but when Harlem
came up in the dealings, there was evidently weak
spot developed in the market and from that point the
turn was TO lower prices through The st The Western
shares were somewhat rregulsI-the Michigan Road
showing a good degree Of strength, while for Rock
Island and Galena the market weak. llinoi
Central and Toledo held up very well, a
prices current at the close of Friday. The strong
EFT stock of tue dey, and almost the only one
which advanced materially was Michigan Southern
Guaranteed which, although hammered vigorously,
was in active demand and up to 49 at the closs. The
purchases of this stock are reported 10 be for the
account of who in position to judge ac;n-
siey of the busnes and prospects of the cincep At
the Second Board there was further decline in prices
