TUESDAY. May 2O-P. M.-Business AT the
Stock Exchange was very dull throughout the
day, and with the exception of Erie and Pacific
Mail speculation was decidedly tame and unin-
terestng The Transactions in even these shares
were greatly restricted, and the Exchange Hall
presented the usual appearance on a quiet day
Ia the summer months, when the prominent
spccuators were absent for recreation. The
bears made an attack upon tine list Of active
shares soon after the opening Of business, but
prices did not yield az readily as anticipated,
and finally the market drifted into extreme dull
ness, and So continued without much variation
until after =. NJ, when, under the influence Of
considerable purchases to cover short contracts
in Pacific Mai and Vi le, there was "A better feel
ing and tone established, which reflected In the
1nll trade generally the best figures Of the DAY.
Operators, however, have been much mlstincd
by the current Of speculation during the past
week, and street spectators are seldom 50
completely undecided in their views as at the
present time. The brokers' Iwho are expected
e. give with precision every phase IN the over
changing market, recognize the necessity Of
presenting some theory or opinion to their GUS
toners. but after such has boen given they Az
pear exceedingly doubtful u the opposite view
would uothhe been The more correct. In TACT

view is sustained by the increasing orders from

scale. This will explain In a degree the nrm-
