the Treasury will sell $1,000, 600. Gov
ernments steady; especially in the 80
issues. The expectation that the Treas

weak; Reading being steadiest and North
western weakest Reading continues
scarce, and per cent. has been paid for
the use until to morrow. Speculation in
Western Union is active and prices firm
The short interest in this stock is large,
and appears to be the support Of advanced
prices The Express says greater frmness
has been noted the past few days in New
York Central scrip than in stock. 1t has
always been anticipated that this scrip,
paying equal dividends with the capital
stock, would be merged on it. The time
for this consolidation Is now believed to
have arrived, and an arrangement viii, it
is believed, be effected in the last week Of
this month. State securities dull. Ten
nessses are about the only bonds in which
there are any transactions
