THE sTOcE MARKET
The stock market to-day continued to exhibit the
strength and vigor observable ever since specula-
tion has been led by what is known in street par
lance as ''the Vanderbilt line OF stocks" One after
another these seem to have wheeled into line, and
although absorbing much OF the interest of the
Board the tone impaired by them to the rest OF the
market has provoked the nveliest anticipations
concerning an advance In other stocks which now
occupy humble places Business to-day was at
times quite active, with large dealings and
Improvement In the general range OF prices.
The principal transactions IN Western Union,
which opened at 922s, promptly moved up to 90
93h a oSA 939E, weakened again 10 92% a 922l,
but reactng, sold again ut 93i4 and closed at 9316
Pacific Mail continues by it's figures to represent
the undetermined attitude OF the company and
the suspicion that facts even worse than any yet
published will ultima ely affect the stock. A tele-
gram was received from Washington to-day stating
that it was undoubtedly true that the company
had forfeited its subsidy by the failure to build iron
steamers OF 1900 tons burden, as required by the
act Of Congress granting the same. The price to-
day 49, 3724, 371a and 3i14, with close at 37a4
Erie opened at so, ana luctuated most OF the day
between 59A and 6o1s, being in sympathy with
the London advance. large block of
stock is now on its way to this country.
New York Central was strong with disposition to
advance, that was not checked until the price
reached 1855. The speculation tomorrow
promises to he very active. Harlem gained per
cent on the opening figure and closed at 134.
Union Pacific sold at 27si 49, Lake Shore came
to the front even before the call by advancing to
"a and afterwards moving steadily to 9414 a 943S.
