SOUTHERN SECURITIES DULL.
The Southern State bonds were generally dull
and steady. The South CarOnas were irregular, the
Old bonds being nrm and higher and the new weak
and lower, the July issues falling to 27N. meet
ing Of the bondh0lders was held to-day, at which
the assertion was made that the dOating debt OF
the State had been increased couple Of millions
by the issue Of certificates of indebtedness This
statement caused the decline in the new bonds
On the other hand the holders Of the old bonds
were quite sangulne OF their ability to
COMPEL THE STATE
to pay them their interest. Hence the nrmer feel
ing noted In the latter securities. A report OF

STOCKS WEAK AND LOWER.
The stock market was weak and depressed from
the beginning Of business. The yielding was first in
Erie and next in Pacific Mail, the former declining
over per cent and the latter about per cent.
The decline in Erie was attributed to heavy sales
by the McHenry party, who, not being compelled to
make their deliveries until after the election
tomorrow, could sell the stock to-day and
vote upon It tomorrow. At the same time
there was q general disrrust Of the effect
upon Erie of the triumph at the election Of the
Atlantic and Great Western party, similar feeling
existing, apparently, on the other side as well as
here the London quotation exhibiting declining
tendency oil day. The Vaccinations Of the clique
in the Gold Room. the agitation Of the Baltimore
Convention and the moro active demand for money,
were other reasons for the general depression per-
vading the stock market. The newest features
in the Erie question are delneated In our
news columns elsewhere The earnings Of the Ohio
and Mississippi railroad for June $249, ,910-an
increase of $52 SOS the corresponding period Of
last year.
