THE STOCK MARKET
If 1t be remembered that your true Wall street
operator lives erervescence, glories in a fnan-
cial ferment and only supremely happy while there
Is a forty pound pressure on his cerebrum to the
square inch his pitiable condition may be mag
ined when it is stated that the two or three hun
dred millions OF dollars, more or less upon whose
machinery of levers safety valves and piston rods
ne periodically experiments, has not shown motive
power enough during the last three days to
elevate or depress the market one per cent
To-day was worse than any OF its predecessors OF
the season. Men vocalized indomitably, and shook
fingers and prices at each other with an outlay OF
abdominal eloquence that only lacked positive re-
suits to clothe the skeleton with purple and fine
linen. But 1t was all of no avail The market
would not bulge. The customers were wanting.
The transactions may be briefly noted Western
Union opened at S41S, advanced to s4Z, ana sold
down to san. Pacific Mail began work at 37%,
dropped u, advanced to 3S, receded, then recov-
cred again after one O'Clock to 3s $50, 3s 3s7<
and backed down again to 37h. New York
Central and Hudson sold between the extremes
OF 1918 1o17S. Lake Shore showed an average
change OF about q per cent. Union Pacifics sold
at 24X 24s4, touched 25, receded fraction, but
recovered, with firm close at 25X. Harlem found
buyers at 1867. Northwestern common Is looming
into modest activity again, and every day indicates
increasing interest in this stock. The extremes
day were 713S 70X. Rock Island was steady at
1Os54 10ssS. St. Paul ditto at 50zI 5O1k. C., G.
and I. G. nuctuated about Il per cent. Ohio and
Mssisslppis were uneventful at 384 O 3s16.
PACIFIC MAIL.
At a meeting OF the directors OF the Pacific Mail
Company to-day the proposed issue of bonds was
discussed. The counsel OF the company. Mr.. Ed
wards Pierrepont, gave 1t as his opinion that the
proposed issue of bonds could not be made, and
that they could only raise money by pledglng parts
or all OF their property, just as individuals could
be found who would loan thereon.
