fOresees that the understanding be-
tween Prim and SerFano must end in
the election of King. 1t affords the
best opportunity they could have for a
dissolution of partnership, which
could not otherwise be effected with
out a disastrous outbreak. The
Unionists haze no chance of success,
and after a weeks vain debate In the
Cortes. the Ministers OF that party
have resigned. Serrano must follow
them, and then Prim remains master
of a situation which suits him; at
least he wishes to have the substance
Of power under some one vested with
its semblance.
For the past yeas Serrano has
served as a cloak for his ambition. If
Serrano withdraws, and the Duke of
Genoa is not brought In, then Prim
stands forth exposed to the envy of
the rancor of the small alone between
friends who do not trust him, and en-
emies who, when the time comes, will
not spare him.

Financial MattCFs-HeaFy EecIIne In
Railroad Stock.

New York, October 1.-The Stock
Exchange, throughout the day, has
presented a scene of activity aud
excitement strangely in contrast with
the dullness and apathy which has
prevailed for some time past. The
course of speculation turned on the
consolidation of the New York Cen
trail and Hudson Railroads, and there
were alternate spasms of buoyancy
and depression, with a semi-panic at
intervals on some of the western
shares. The final result of the days
operations shows a heavy decline In
the entire railway list, and more espe
cially In Vanderbilt stocks and the
Northwest.
The announcement that the Van
derbilt stocks had been consolidated
on the basis of 107 for New York
Central and S5 for Hudson, created
no little disappointment to the speeu
lators on the Bull side. The terms OF
consolidation show that Vanderbilt
has pursued a more conservative
course than was expected. The Bears
were not slow to improve the oppor-
tunity offered them to demoralize the
Bull speculation, and every time the
market rallied, they returned boldly
to attack, and each time carried the
prices lower and lower The weak
ness in Northwestern & st. Paul and
Lake Shore is due largely to the heavy
amounts of borrowed stock, which
have been returned within a few days
past. The heavy decline impaired
the margins of the weak holders OF
those stocks, and brokers were, in
consequence, free sellers whenever
the market strengthened. At times
| during the afternoon the excitement
and depression were increased BY
several rumors of injunctions on Van.
