Wall Street. e'A 'a~ 81
The Express says: The scenes in Wall
street are now being shifted once more,
and the bears this time are making their
appearance in public after a long retire-
ment, and they will make an effort at least
to retrieve their lost fortunes. -; = ssi5sr
The leading bears have been recently at
work for some time past in the West, or
ganizing for q campaign in railways
through Legislatures in several Western
States. The, first effort has been made. in
Illinois, and already bin has passed the
Senate, which reduces the rate for pas
senger travel on railways Of that State to
cents per mile. 1t is reported this viii
pass the House and be signed by the Gov
ernor. A similar movement is on footi in
Iowa and Wisconsin, and the bears calcu-
late this scheme will be successful and re-
duce the earnings of the Western roads
and thereby depreciate the market value
on the stock exchange 81 Fae sS
tits reported On the street that some roads
will increase their capital stock for equip
ment, and it is rumored that the Michigan
Southern directors have already authorized
fresh, issues for this purpose. The bears
calculate upon Generalization of bulls on
any new issue of stock, and take comfort
from this.uEi - siss zsssss iis sla rs lt-. -
The foregoing is the bear campaign as far
as developed, and it seems from this that
the bears are not to remain mere passive
observers of events in Wall street any
longer. he,bulls will of course resist this
attack of the bears, and the battle between
the contending forces commenced to- day
on the stock exchange. This is the situa-
ton in Wall street at present, and we are
likely to see lively times in the immediate
future. @P' assa ,--, ss-.-.,,itI 4
