THURSDAY Sept I'LL p. M
The low ruling OF gold has tended to cause some
disturbance in the merchandise markets. and in
some cases values are lower. The unsettling of
the wheat market was in part attributable to this
cause as likewise the decline IN certain other COM
modites. The rates on 'Change to-day were with
out decided change. Flour was quiet and in
buyers' favor. Wheat was only in fair
request at decline OF &c. Corn was
firm, but only in moderate demand
Oats were quiet but firm. Provisions were gener-
ally quiet, but not essentially changed n value
Groceries were firm, particularly coffee, for which
higher prices were demanded. Cotton was in fair
demand. and irmer for future. Petroleum remained
dull and nomnaliy unchanged Naval stores were neg
lected and entirely nominal whiskcy was quiet ana

THE STOCK MARKET.

THE STOCK MARKET
There have been few occasions during the year
when SO much diniculty attended a lair description
of the market as at the present time. The condi-
ton is anomalous. Stocks which three or four
weeks ago were the Koh-l-noors of speculation,
and scintiating all over with promises of recon-
pense, are to-day among the veriest drags Of the
street. The then prophets are now out OF pocket
and among the bears. On the other hand the then
bears are doubling whether or not prices have
touched Observation-Disclosures 1t Is not about time to
change their base and anticipate what is even
tually certain to occur. Prices to-day were
trine better than yesterday. but it Is
hardly safe to trust them yet Well, as the market
has been sustained, 1t is always to be borne In
mind that it is easier to tear down than to build
up, and that the banking and mercantile commu-
nifty at present are in condition to afford sensa-
tons when least expected. A sense OF calamity,
indescribabe and possibly supersttious, Overhangs
the street-a vague, intuitive expectation OF
something that is to be, but is not yet; and this
feeling of itself acts as clog upon ventures, which,
under more favorable conditions, might prove an
entering wedge to successful speculation. The ex-
ceptiOnal decline to-day reached 2h per cent
Later there was recovery, but the whole
undertone was one that suggested shocks and
spasms. Prices are tempting and In the degree
that they tempt they may be regarded as
dangerous, since tney seem TO occupy an eQuatO-
rial line tnat is thoroughly deceptive, as has been
proved by the events and the records OF the past
four or five days. The widest changes to-day
were in wabash, which declined from 63H to 81,
recovered to C3k, receded to 62h and LETT OF at
62K 62I. Western Union was also erratic rising
from $50 to ssX in the early dealings, then de-
Ginning to SIX, rallying to ssh, reacttng to
ssA, improving to s9h ana closing at SsZ.
Lake Shore and New York Central were noticeably

is being invited into the street by these low prices,
and that the men who have backbone to Ego inn
ut these low figures are bound to win some OF the
latter being lower than they have shown them
selves on the record Of many years.
