STOCKS DULL AND HEAVY.

The opening prices in the stock market were about
as at the close the evening previous, New Jersey
central being active and fraction higher. The
general Inst was dun ana transactions confined to
the brokers OF the stock cliques, the outside specu
lative element beng yet too cautious to venture
upon buying while gold is 80 unsettled. The ''Oull"
cliques are making most desperate effort to keep
prices from following the example OF the
precious metal, but the stock list escaped their
grasp to-day upon The decline OF gold TO ll07s, and
for time showed some ''raQgedr quotations. They
forced to step in once more and bid prices ny;
but the market continued heavy TO the close, the
Generalization OF the decline in gold continuing to
depress all transactions after the first board. In
this drop Pacific Mail touched 36, Rock Island 1l9
Erie FAX, Lake Shore s8ss and Northwest 72z.
After the boards the market was extremely dull In
the closing sidewalk transactions business was
utterly ''ha," and 1t is doubtful whether as
many as five hundred shares Of stock changed
hands. The following were the closing prices

II we may base an opinion upon the course OF the
gold market during the past few weeks IT II evident
that artificial influences only can interrupt steady
decline 10 par To-day
GOLD DECLINED TO 110T,
therein keeping up about the average rate OF de-
cline which has for several days marked the
downward course OF the premium. To-day was
about the first time any one was found who did not
believe gold was cheap. IL was this feeling that
gold below 1876 was cheap investment that brought
thousands OF SPECTATORS into the Market all OF
whom boarded up IN expectation OF q rise. But the
rise did not come. The market had no elasticity. II
went down, but would not 90 up again. Hence those
who bought have steadily sold out at loss OF two
or three per cent, and the mass OF gold genuine
ana fictitious represented the daily clearances at
the Gold Bank mas setted down through the hands
OF successive purchasers. But now gold Is no
longer cheap. Every argument on the "bull" side
has proved deluslon. The public are all bears"
When gold "broke" liz to-day the crowd in The gal.

Justify when the dial indicaSed 1lOzS. The market
was feverish ana excited throughout The opening
price, 112k, was barely quotation. With the
dulness and heaviness in the exchange mar
ket the "bulls" lost oil heart and sold out.
AS the day wore on word came from washington
that Senator Williams mad Introduced joint resolu-
ton authorizing the receipt OF greenbacks to the ex-
tent OF dsty per cent In future payments OF custom
duties, while another ''red hot" Senator wanted to
unload oil the surplus government treasure on the
market without delay. The resolution to receive
one-half greenbacks for customs was the more I'M
poriant IN It's influence the market, as It's adop.
ton would remove one great cause for the premium
on gold. The emptying OF the Treasury
would produce only temporary depression.
Under these circumstances, and with the i'm
pending gold safe Observation-Disclosures the bidders
may be 'pumpedn with ali the gold they bid for, or
may get none at all-the market broke to ll0I.
Here, however, the inevitable imitation influence
came In the Banking Committee having introduced,
or having given notice OF their intention to intro
ducc, bin to increase the currency $50, 900 900.
God reacted to ll15.. But as 1t became evident
from the character OF the action OF the Senate that
no such bill would receive enactment in the upper
House the price again yielded to III. especially as
1t began to steal through some minds ut this juno
ture that the republican Senate on the eve or the
New Hampshire election was fostering the advance

taking care OF the Western grumDers by proposing
