ST., ,205.
STOCKS FIRM.
The 'bull" cliques exhibited great strength all
day ana kept the stock market firm, although the
'oears" made several sorties but were eacn time
repulsed. The suspicion entertained nigns before
last that in the decline OF gold one OF the stock
cliqnes had gone to the other side proves rue
and the struggle between this clique and their late
brethren on the subject OF Northwest created con-
siderable excitement IN the dealings IN that stock.
The "oulls" had steady uphill work OF 1t all the
time, as they are unsupported by the public, who nave
not courage enough TO take sides until the great gold
question is settled. The stock market was so
exclusively In the hands OF the stock gambling
combinations. In such situation the public would
most likely be duped both ways. Harlem was
prominent, owing to bid OF 145 for any part or
5000 shares, and sold freely at 14s. New Jersey

posing to make Jersey City port OF entry. AT the
time the bank statement made Its appearance there
