The New York stock market opened with some de-
gree of irregularity in prices this morning Fort
Wayne being extremely depressed, sold at 1905 and
Illinois Central declined TO III; while Erie Pittsbure
and Northwestern were considerably advanced. At
the eleven o'clock call the market was firm until
Plttsburg was reached, when n general scramble to
make sales Eoticod, and the subsequent stocks
tho list also exhibited weakness Fort WAYNE
was more depressed than any other security 1t sold
on the street after the Board at o. at which point
large number Of purchases made, which had the
effect Of inspiring confidence so that at the one
o'clock Board it revived TO 98 and advanced to 9eI
az four o'clock, closing at 9S7s.
Rock Island received considerable attention, After
opening at l2l ii steadily rose to 122la mt the last
Board, and sold subsequently on the street at l22lL
Canton was very frm and advanced to 81 late in the
afternoon. Cumberland sold at As in the morning,
but declined to AZ in the afternoon The North
western stocks close at about their opening quota
tons, with little variation taking place in their prices
at the several Boards
Ohio and Mississippi Certificates were much sought
after. and the old speculative feeling in them ap-
pears rapidly reviYing; they close firm at 26%@265s
In the present condition of the market and with the
present facilities for carrying stocks, it has been a
matter of much wonder that these certificates have
not shared in the late advance. From the unusually
large purchases recorded in them to-day it is more
than probable that movement is on foot to materi-
ally advance their market value. Recent reports of
the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad are such as to rem
der Its stock intrinSicaly cheap at present figures
and it is more than probable that the present move
ment will be attended with considerable success.
New ork Central gained much strength in the
afternoon. and was quoted late 93 after opening
at @z2s. Erie opened at "a, and displayed no great
activity throughout closing weak at 1884, Thisroad
oV It's own showing. is in a pretty bad way being
saddled with floating debt, which can only be met
by sale Of fresh stock or of fresh bonds The en-
barrassment of these last mentioned stocks will have
4 tendency to depress the whole market, but the
abundance of money so great that the result NAV
be delayed for some time.
state bonds were extremely dull. Virginia's being
entirely neglected during the morning North Caro-
tnas and Mssouri's were each 4 lower, and Ten
neSsees were quoted at 500. Government bonds
were very steady. Five-twenties even advanced to
It2la after selling early in the day at 1851.
The gold market has assumed more strength than
OF late. Cash gold was in good demand and sold at
liza after opening at 1861 It's advance TODAY has
been attributed to sales of Five-twenties on Euro
pean account. Considerable difficulty was experi-
enced in borrowing gold to-day. the rate for use
