FRIDAY, March Is, 1897. NJ.


This has been the dallest day Of the week at the
St, ok Exchange especially in the stocks which gener
ally attrac, the attention of spectators. The most
influential operators Of the Board apparently some
what discouraged il not dsgusted at the unsympa-
thetc tone outside of the street, disposed to rest
awhile until the prospects ahead are clearly de-
yeloped. Pacific Mail was frmer, and advanced to
81 with moderate sales A report had currency in
the street few days since that the se of the Adratic
had not been completed. We understand now, how
ever that part of tie purchase money has been paid
and this has probably had good effect on Pacific Mail
In NewYork Central the transactions were unusually
sma |, and until the second caH business on nearly
every Railway stock upon the List was extremely light
Erie sold 20 fair extent 49, and there was moderate
stir in Michigan Southern shares the latter having re-
Gently been in favor with the leaders Of the movement
last Spring and Summer Upon the whole, prices were
maintained very well during the session, taking into
view the limited number Of outside orders for specus
ton The demand for Federal stocks continues brisk
aud prices show further improvement during the day
The a sales Of coupon stocks Of 1881 were Al a. and
of the registered 93i while Treasury notes bearing
70 T. cent have been done at l04. State stocks
oeraby active but fraction lower for Missouris and
Tennesees which are still coming in from the West.
Railway bonds are generally irmer, and for rome de-
scription. the demand is brisk while the supply is
quite limited At the Second Board, the features Of
the market were much the same IA IN
the morning, the extreme dullness being relieved
only by the increased demand for Federal Stocks.
The transactions in Railway shares unmporAnt,
and tie changes as compared with quotations Of the
first Board very slight. Not political sensation has
come over the wires daring the day and material for
excitement is sadly wanting. After the Board, the
market was steady ct the following prices: United
