sombre an appearance as to-day. We hope that
The eliminating point has been attained, and
that a change for the brighter is at hand. Not
withstanding there have been many rumors of

too fabulous to command a passing notice, par
tieUlsTly those pertaining to finance.

ulation going on in all Northern markets, in
stocks, in bonds, in provisions, in bresdstufs,

the great bubble which is in course of infa-
ton.
There were some transactions in stocks to-
day going or, which may reach transfers, which
we shall quote in oar next. There is an IL
cTeasing demand for fsVorite stocks, though at
low prices. Gas Light company, WateT-works
company, and also City Consolidated Bonds,
are in request 81 certain prices, which are,
however, much in advance of prices ruling
three or fur month"; ago.
