STOCKS FEvERIsH AND IRREGULAR.
The stock market was heavy and weak during
the greater portion OF the day. and for most Of the
list underwent a further decline in prices the
bete noire being the much-abused Pacific Mail,
which fell to Tx, the advent Of the temporary
strngency in money toward half-past two O'Clock
helping to unsettle the entire market and causing
decline in nearly all the leading features. With
the return of per cent dealings, however, there
was new start on the upward turn, headed by
New York Central, which advanced to 1919. The
effect OF this diversion was to impart strong and
rather buoyant feeling to the speculation in the
last hour of business, during which interval there
SUDDEN RECOVERY
Of fully all the ground that had been lost In the
previous decline. New York Central as noted,
rose y per cent and c., G. and l. @. u per cent
upon the opening scale OF prices, which tor the
others Indicated at the close Decline averaging
a u per cent. Northwestern was brought on
the carpet afresn and made active by pressure Of
sales, which caused decline from S3H to s12s
Western Union Telegraph was depressed by re-
vival of the rumOrs Of the organization OF new
company prepared under government auspices to
do the telegraph service Of the country for the
profits of an investment OF only $4,000 600 of capt.
tai. Erie was duller, and in sympathy with the
course of the London market, advanced to 63X and
receded to 63H. Boston, Hartford and Erie recov
cred to So and closed at 81.
