through the assembly last evening" ana
there were large number OF orders tC
sell on the expected advance to-day
which, however, did not take place
The sharp rise in Hudson river shares
to day has given rise to considerable
gossip. There is very general oelle
that the stockholders OF the Hudson
River and Harlem roads will be the re-
cipients OF something in the shape
OF scrip or stock dividends In Inc
future. There is some talk aDou'
building n branch road from the Vlcln'
ity OF Chatham to connect with the
Hudson River road. Foreign exchange
is dull for prime bankers.
GoLD-Active aud strong; opened at
1925. and closed at 1885. The rise was
ascrlbed to various reasons. among them
was the growing scarcity of cash gold.
reported rupture between Grant and
some OF his Cabinet, decline of COS, ,OOO
francs in the bullion reserve OF IN the
Bank Of France, and the warllke teIe-
grams from Washington in regard TO

SToCKs-The market during the morn
ing was active and buoyant, with the
principal dealings in Northwestern
shares, st. Paul, Hudson, Michigan
Southern, Toledo, Reading and Wabash.
The first named sold at S5A for COM
mon and 977< for preferred; st. Paul
common sold at S524, preferred Sc; Mi
chigan Southern at 9714; Reading AT
941z; Toledo and wabash at 20, and
Hudson River at $50. The rise in Hud-
son River yesterday is equal, on ex-
treme quotations. to 10 per cent, and ls
due to the belief that the road will soon
bo consolidated with the New York
Central, and the stock be largely in
creased in the form of a stock dividend;
Harlem is also strong, having been sold
at 1877. In the miscellaneous list Pa
citic Mail and Western Union have been
the features. Express stock dull. In
the afternoon the speculation in mis-
cellaneous shares was quite lively. The
railway market at the clOse did not Sus.
tain the extreme prices of the morning
in all cases. The most active and tluc-
tuating stocks were Wabash, st. Paul,
Hudson, Harlem, Northwestern, Read
ing and Michigan Southern. The ad-
vance on these shares ranged from TO
10, and st. Paul, at the close. and OHIO
81 Mississippi, advanced 10 33Is, while
st. Paul common advanced to 7SA, the
highest figure OF the day. Market for
New York Central, Rock island and Ft.
Wayne was comparatively quiet and
almost stationary. 1t is evident that
the Stock Exchange is just entering
upon an era of great speculation and
wild huCtuatioD.
