stock market was of the usual and moderate ex.
tent Pacific Mail became actively weak and ex-
perienced break OF So per cent, taking the ex-
tremes OF the day, which were respectively 50 and
46H. In explanation OF this sudden and serious
decline it was at first stated that the long
mooted rival British steamship line across the
Pacific, between Hong Kong and San Francisco,
had become a reality and that one Of the steamers
the Altoona, as announced in the HERALD Of this
morning. had arrived at San Francisco. Suisse
quently 1t was asserted that the steamer in ques-
ton had been simply chartered at Hong Kong to
take q cargo from san Francisco, and on her way
across had brought load Of Chinese laborers des-
tined for America Otherwise the fall in the stock
was ascribed to the sales by "pool' who had
sought to onst the present regime, but finding that
1t would be impossible to secure majority OF the
stock before next Monday, abandoned the effort
and sold out their stock. Onicial notice is
given by the Pacific Mail Company that the
annual election Tor nine directors Will take place
on Wednesday, May %, between the hours OF
twelve M. and two p. NJ, and that the transfer
books will close May 10 and remain closed until
May 20. The weakness in Pacific Mail dragged
down the general market, especially the disap-

relaxation in money has encouraged bearsh
sentiment in the street at large. some little help
being furnished the efforts OF the "bearsr this
