fiat. The Treasury operations for the
week Of the New York Office included dis
bursements Of Cos, 900 on account Of inter

receipts Of 16l.4 400 for eustons. The spe-

call at the Stock Exchange. Railway and
miscellaneous speculation was strong ami
higher from the opening until about
clock. The advance ranged from TO )
per cent and was most marked in Panama
New York Central, Lake Shore and Rock
Island. After, there was a weaker feeling,
and reaction Of to Il per cent. from the
highest point of the day ensued. Paeihc
Mail opened strcng, but afterw ards de
clined from 500 to 39!. The advance early

during the morning, which of course had
had something to do with the decline. The
strike on the Pennsylvania railroad stimu-
lated the rise in Central and Lake Shore.
In the final dealings a steadier tone was
noted.
