FINANCIAL AND COMMERC CIAL.

SATURDAY, July 2l-6PM NJ
The usual duIness OF Saturday in summer has been
experienced in Wall street to-day and both brokers and
operators have been eager leave town by boat
or rail than to secure profits, which the great majority
are content to let run having no fear of fall before
their eyes, Stock Spectators indeed almost unver
sally holding for rise and IN instances they
are doubtless pnching themselves in other respects

Dties at the same time favor their success, for with
asuperabundant supply Of and the speculative
spirit strongly the "bul side Of the market as IS
at present. II would be strange II prices failed TO rise
higher II matters not whether prices selling above

lose II again when the tide begins 10 cbb and the poils
will be divided among the brokers' who in reality live
upon "oaside support" without which theiv only resort
would be to prey upon each other the dog eat dog
principle, and sometimes after the amable example set
by the Kilkenny cats.
