THE STOCK MARKET.
1t Ia not pleasant to record an unfrutful fact ;
nevertheless, 1t belongs to the history OF
the Stock Exchange to-day. Speculation was
neither active nor remunerative. brokers'
market prevailed Perhaps it was due to
the close OF the week. Perhaps the pipes
are being laid for q better movement on
Monday and Tuesday. Certainly there are predic-
tions and there is no question that far as con-
Germs the objects to which they attach,
movement will then or soon after
occur that will put thousands OF dollars
into somebody's pockets. While there Is an
absence OF outside capital, there Is still sufficient
speculative disposition among the members OF the
Exchange itself to make the market moderately
active, and hence prices have been generally well
maintained, hope and the possibilities OF the
future keeping alive the disposition 10 sell
and invest TO-days transactions show some
what OF a decline in volume, though without
much shaking Of faith in the price Of stocks on
the strength OF which the recent rise was forced.
There was good deal OF talk about this party being
''short" and the other party being "long;n but,
from the present outlook, it appears II we were
to have another active week. with encouraging
prices and a reasonable Summer demand. The re-
cession III values which was observed to-day
may have been incidental to the close OF the
week. Saturday and Monday, during the Summer
time, are VIGOROUSLY dull commercial days. West

ing at its opening price. Pacific Mail was steady
at 37I a37H. New YORK Central vibrated between

OF only q per cent Lake Shore was steady at 92
a o2., as extremes. Hannibal and St. Joseph sold
from 40J to AK, and closed at Al. Union Pacin
nuctuated between 27, 2S. Speculatively North
western Is gaining ground opening at 69L. closing
at COY. The stock is being distributed at reason
able rates, which bid fair to be the Of future
speculative interest. ST. Paul was steady at 52,,
a SEA. st. Paul preferred sold at 70 a 1874. Onto
and Mississippi: showed q change OF only about 4
per cent. Atlantic and Pacific about the same.
