THE STOCK MARKET.
The general tone OF the market has not been
more encouraging than that Of yesterday. The
disposition to speculate was, doubtless, restrained
by tinidty engendered by the sudden checking
OF the upward movement In Lake Shore, Western
Union and New York Central. which commenced
several days ago under auspices that promised
some brilliant results, but which for some reason
are postponed for the present. The delicate and
inexplicable sympathy tnat at all times exists be-
tween certain lines OF stocks has been fully illus
trated in the pending reaction, the only marked
exception to the average decline being
Pacific Mail, the dealings In which consti-
tuted the chief feature Of the day. This stock
began work at 3sh, and before noon sold up to
3Sx q 3SX, receding later fraction, then recover
ing to 39h, and closing at 80. Erie was steady az
about 59A. Western Union opened at 92M, sold
next at 91T, advanced to 92h, then receded ana
nuctuated around the last named price during the
rest OF the market. Canton sold at 99A. wabash
was dull at 72k 72h q 72. Lake Shore was STEADY
at OAK q a94k. Northwestern was left to take care.
of ITSELF most OF the transactions being ON The basis
of 67x a67k Union Pacific was steady at 2sh 2S
2sA; Rock Island showed out little change; st.
Paul continued weak IN consequence of the post
pOnement OF the question as to ''passtng"
the semi annual dividend, falling or from
52X to 52k, with a recovery OF y per
cent. The preferred stock sold at Tx TN

of directors on Tuesday next the subject Will
again come up for consideration, when 1t may be
decided to pay the 81 per cent dividend due IN

activity than strength, the price lingering around

remainder of the market calls Tor no special COM
ment The total number OF shares sold aggregate
5O154-that is to say, this amount appears on
paper, but an unusual amount Of ''washng" is rep
resented to have been done with bona Jtde trans

less than twelve thousand shares.
