The last day Of the week was characterized by
great activity in the stock market Erie advancing
from $685. its earliest price the street In the morn
Ing to sax, Its closing price at Six O'Clock last
night The occasion OF this rise, as explained In the
first paragraph above was aided BY cable despatch
announcing an Improvement OF two to three per
cent in Fries at the London Exchange. The activity
was not so remarkable during the forenoon or even
during the earlier hours Of the afternoon. During
the interval to three O'Clock Erie had risen only Eve
per cent There session Of either the regular
or open board after two O'Clock, In accordance with
the Saturday custom. In the period thence to six
O'Clock the stock appreciated at . suddenly rapid
rate until, ct the cessation Of business, 1t was six
teen per cent better than the lowest price OF the
morning. The restoration to this figure shows the
immense pressure which weighed down this particu-
lar stock. It Was made the objective one In the list
for the speculative purposes Of the great combina-
ton OF "bears who first made money stringent that
they might the more successfully undertake the cam
pagn against It. whatever the real value OF Erie
its manipulation was magnificent piece OF financial
strategy, and the history OF the past few weeks
will long be borne In mind. 1t yielded under
Q pressure such as seldom or never compasscd
STOCK and In Its first sudden decline drew with 1t
It's neighbors their fall being accelerated accord
ingly they were intrinscally weak or strong. St.
Paul In this "dropn fell fifty per cent. II the on
saught had other good eject 1t was useful In re-
vealing the true worth OF the different stocks dealt
in at the Stock Exchange. New York Central rose
six per cent In this return to better prices Pacific
Mail three per cent and the rest from to two per
cent. The greater proportionate rise In Erie is due
the fact that large purchases were made to cover
outstanding short" contracts, and the constant de-
mand kept the pri CO constantly advancing. II ia
question whether the sbears,n who have covered,
have not turned "bullsn for the time being, with o
view to another innation OF prices and another
heavy profit BY "unloading' at good figures. II is
notable sign, however, that in the sudden impetus
given TO speculation at the eleventh hour OF the
week transactions were most numerous In those
stocks which were the nrmest in the recent panic
In the excitement caution was not lost sight Of
While Erie and New York Central advanced sixteen
and per cent respectively ST. Paul advanced one
A scrutiny OF the whole list will show the same
thing, nsmely-that in proportion as the decline was
great Is the recovery small.
Gold was firm during the first days OF the week
under the continuance OF Washington reports that
the currency was to be expanded, but weakened in
the middle OF the week with the cessation Of these
reports, and suddenly became firm yesterday, with
| out much dscoverable cause The supply OF cash
gold was abundant and the loanng rate kept within
the legal limit. The fluctuations in price shown

7 The Pacific RAILROAD This rnagnif-
cent work progresses rapidly. Ten thou
sand men are working upon s the line-one-
half of them upon the road going west
wardly, and the other upon the road coming
eastwardly. In addition to this, the New
York Times has information from the West
that o contract has been made with Mr..
DURAST to build the road from Cheyenne to
Denver within the next twelve months.
The distance is 1o7 miles, and the line is of
generally uniform grade, with no great
engineering difficulties. This, the Times
adds, is an, exceedingly important connec-
ton. 1t joins the Union Pacific railroad
with the most active business centre within
the range Of the Rocky Mountains, and
gives it direct communication with q region
which is not only important as a mining
field, but which has already shown its i'm
mense. capacity as ood-producing and
cattle-raising section. si;,@, -.E. .
