In New York the stock market has suffered con-
siderable uctuation during the day. but most stocks
Of fha l. l., A..
York Central was firm during the first Board at 1884,
but this proved its extreme quotations, for sabse-
quently ii gave evidence of weakness and gfdually
declined to 923 at the close. Public confidence in
this stock is evidently decreasing and the prevailing
disposition to-day has been to sell. Erie opened at
'5S4-8 advance since last evening, but no support
was gwen to 1t at the succeeding Boards and it closes
weak at 7234.
Hudson was firm during the morning at 10, and in
the afternoon advanced to l1O1z after which it SYM
pathized with the general market and sold at no.
Reading was quoted early at los, and at the Stock
Exchange morning Board was in considerable de-
mand. reaching 1851; sharp decline however took
place at O'Clock, when it sold at 1043 after which
1t was better sustained, selling at 1913! towards
o'clock Michigan Southern and Pittsburg each sold
at 1878 at the first Board but declined during the
day to S255

declined towards the close, the common" selling at
29l4. and the preferred" at 5s1l. Ohio and Misss
slppi Certificates were very firm the afternoon at
20A, after selling at % at o'clock Canton opened
at 5112, but shared in the general decline, closing
weak at 56lS.
The increasing excitement about the cholera had
much to do with the depression of the stock market
to-day. but there is no necessity for resent alarm
1t is not at all improbable that speedy reaction will
take place. Rumors were aaoat that the Govern
ment will shortly be in the market for loan, al
though should this prove correct it is not likely that
the rate of interest will be materially advanced with
such general abundance of money throughout the
country.
State Bonds were shade higher, Missouri's being
quoted at 74A, and North Cardinals at 81. Tennes-
sees sold at 9DR. and Virginias at g. Governments
were strong FiveTwenties being particularly active

O'Clock; it declined to l27 at hapast when it was
AGAIN sought attor, and reached 2S towards 3oclock

day, the ruling rate for borrowing being 4 per cent
The money market presents no new feature Call
loans have been in better demand but have been
well supplied at 4@5 per cent.

aurng to specu ators for rise but discomfttine to
