price ofits stock materially declined ruling at 92l

Erie was fairly active during the morning, when it
was quoted at "a. The effect of lower quotations
from Europe was not manifested until the afternoon
when it declined to 1879. Reading reached los at
the eleven o'clock Board but large lots being offered
for sale at this figure it became weak and closed at
1917.
Michigan Southern well sustained at the first
open Board being quoted at 843 but the subsequent
operations disclosed majority of sellers and the
consequence was propOrtonate decline in its price,
and at two o'clock it sold at SO, after which it gave
evidence of increasing strength and advanced to S3s
at the close.
Pittsburg no mean feature during the day; af-
ter opening at S23 it advanced to $50 the after
noon call, and closes about $685. Fort Wayne has
given signs of being cOrnered selling on the street
before Boards at $685. it suffered no reaction at the
different calls and steadily advanced to 10Os at five
O'Clock. The Northwestern stocks were weak at the
one O'Clock Board. but recovered their strength
afterwards when the common" was quoted at 2S3A,
and the preferred" at 5S%.
Canton in good demand. and sold at 55% at
one o'clock but closed at SIS. The advancing ten

The great ease in the money market assists the bull
element and all other influences pale into insgnif-
canoe before its potency. Purchases are made based
solely upon the continued abundance of money, and
the daily receipts of it in New York from the West
adds still further inducement to buy. The bank
statement evinces the contraction of legitimate bust
ness and also avors this extraordinary bull mania.
There have been operators known to have had
usually bear propensites. who have joined in the
late purchases of stocks and the bears themselves
appear distrustful of their situation.
Notwithstanding the present condition of things on
Wall street, there is feverish undertone gradually
but decidedly growing into many of the operations
there, which accounts. in measure for the cadence
of the market at short interests. The careful
men on Change advise small profits and quick re-
turns, inasmuch in the same ratio as the bear
interest decreases will the chances of continued
market for securities above their intrinsic value be-
come less.
otate bonds otter little lnducement for speculation
and they continue extremely dull and inactive. Ten

nomlnally the same as on yesterday. North Carroll
mas sold at S3ss, and Mssouri's at 75 Governments

Money is so abundant that large balances have
been offered at per cent without being employed.
The New York Herald says:
The supply of money continues superabundant at
1906 per cent for Stock Exchange loans on railway
and miscellaneous coaterals, and 313(14 on govern
ments. The statement of the associated banks for
the week Is highly favorable. and indicates the ex-
treme ease which prevails at this centre. The de-
posts show further increase of So 100 owing to
