SOUTHERN SECURITIES STRONG.
The Southern State bonds were strong with con-
siderable activity in the new South Carolinas,
which advanced to 4o3s. On light dealings there
was also large improvement in the Tennessees,
explained by the Nashville papers containing the
amended Comptroller's report, which gives the net
debt OF the State as less than $4,000, 900. The
Missouri SKIES advanced TO 93X. The fol.

STOCKS DULL. UNSETTLED AND LOWER.
The stock market opened with weak and droop-
ing feeling, which led to decline, ranging from
one.half to two per cent-tle latter extreme being
reached in the case Of Pittsburg. AS money became
easy prices advanced, and the best figures had
been recovered by three o'clock; but later in the
day. during the closing hours in the Stock Ex-
change and during the final dealings on the side
walk, there was a strong pressure to sell Rock
Island, Lake Shore, Pacific Mail and Wabash, under
which prices again went OF to the lowest OF the day.
The latest theory OF "he suaton," which was
as much puzzle as ever to the street, has it that
the sbull'' clique gracefully struck their colors to
the vanderbilt party, proposed barley and had
consultat on, resulting in harmonious plan OF ope
ratons for the future The Vanderbilt party are to
lot the .bus' get out OF their load OF stocks with
out interference. alter which grand united "bear
campaign Is to be inaugurated The Erie or Broad
street clique said to have used the persuasion Of
o threat that II not assisred out OF their present
position they would devote their whole energies to
grasping control Of the Lake Shore road
to accomplish which they would aban-
don every other scheme. The William
street clique only too willing to consent to any
plan which would enable them to get back at lower
prices the stocks they sold in the panic. Under
this arrangement the william street parties made
money easy again helping the effect OF the govern
ment disbursements in that direction while the
ssbulsr quietly sold as much stock as the market
would take occasioning the decline late in the
day. on the street, however, the downward turn
IN prices was ascribed to rumor that Mr. Tweed
was to be arrested In the morning, the uneasy feel-
ing being aggravated by revival OF the old report
OF trouble with the Chicago banks.
