The New York stock market has been somewhat
irregular to-day, still the closing prices of the spec
ulative list are generally at an advance from the
carly quotations.
Erie has again been the great attraction; it opened
at COZ and steadily advanced TO Ga the last call,
inter which it declined the street to $685. 1t is
understood that the demand for this stock to-day
has been occasioned by the demand for covering
short contracts and this intelligence has been ee-
graphed to all parts of the country; but it is more
than likely that this is only blind on the part of its
wiley manipulators. who wish outsiders to imagine
that decline in the stock will be imminent directly
this extraneous demand shall h"-0 ceased, aud 1t is
probable that fresh 'shUrt interest Will be added
in .he expectation of a. reaction. which, however,
seems to be entirely at the will of the great
err himself, and the fluctuations in this stock are
only likely to follow such course, will undoubt-
eddy suit his individual interest. Erie is dangerous
at most times, but more especially at the present
moment when the directors may be on the eve of
declaring dividend passing it, the chances being
about equally divided between the two issues. The
influence its price will be very perceptible which
ever way the decision is made.
New York Central advanced to 9S'5 this afternoon.
its opening quotation being 9S14. Hudson River de-
clined " per cent at the first CALL selling at IL and
at the o'clock Board it fell to 110 but recover
ed its early rate later in the day. closing dull at l1
Gill. Beading and Michigan Southern presented
no new features to-day. the former closes 10S aud
the latter at 800, being about the opening rate in
both instances. Illinois Central opened at 1lS1 but
declined to 1l7a at eleven o'clock in sympathy with
lower quotations in the London market. There were
very few transactions in this stock during the late
sessions of the Boards. and it closes nominaly at
1l7L.
Plttsburg begins to re-assume the appearance of
clique manipulation. and after opening at S44 it
rapidly advanced to So at three o'clock. There was
less inquiry for the stock towards the close and at
80 p. 1T was quoted at S53s bid. So asked. Not
withstanding the shorts subjected to no extreme
difficulty in the way of procuring stock for delivery
during the late advance it is not to be presumed that
the bulls" intend allowing the bears such an easy
time during second engineering of the stock. and
caution should be used in conducting short line un-
der these circumstances.
Rock Island was dull at 9254@9275 throughout.
The Northwestern stocks exhibited greater activity
than for some days past. and each advanced q per
cent. the common" closing at 2SM and the Pre-

NAMED steady at 1925, Seven thirties declined to
1929, and Ten forties sold at 957s.
The gold market was extremely excited to-day, 1t
opened at 140S and rapidly advanced to IA at noon
after which reaction took place. and it closes firm
at 1895 having declined to 143 at four o'clock The
cause Of the rapid advance during the morning was
the fact that governments lower in Europe than
