FRIDAY, Oct. SIP. NJ.


Whatever comments were appropriate TO the stock
transactions Of yesterday are equally applicable to
the business Of to-day, nearly every stock in the list
having dropped gradually from the opening 10 the
end until the quotations were from to 81 per cent
below those of last night, Western Union, Toledo
and Wabash, Rock Island, Lake Shore, Hannibal
and ST. Joseph, and Central and Hudson shares
being the greatest sufferers. No special are
assigned for the continued recession, the common
one of universal want Of confidence being deemed
sufficient. When it is considered how great the
shrinkage has been. no one need wonder that there
should be SO many lame ducks. Among those who
bought and paid for stocks two months ago.
the proportion of their capital actually lost already
20 far as the market value of securities indicates
real values is about three-fths St. Paul, one-haf
on c.. c. and I. Central Hannibal and st. Joseph,
Northwestern. and Western Union two-ffths on
Ohio and Mississippi, Pacific Mail, Toledo aud
Wabash and Union Pacific; ODe-third on Lake
Shore one-quarter Erie and Harlem, and one
fifth ON Central and Hudson. And if the compare
lively few who buy for ready money so seriously
injured what must have been the fate of those I'M
fortunate spectators whose transactiOrswere based
upon mere deposits of 10 10 per cent as mar
gins and how widespread must have been the In
Jury 10 moneyed institutions all over the country
whose capital and deposits were loaned out on mar
gins of 10 to Is per cent As already intimated,
the decline in prices between yesterdays and to-
nights closing rates of the most serious char
acter aud in exact figures may be stated follows:
In Wabash 81 in Lake Shore, II. and St Jo., and
Rock Island each 3; in Central aud Hudson,
o.; in Northwest and P.cidc Mail. each L;
IN ST. Paul and c. C. and l. C., each II; in
Union Pacific aud Erie, to II, Every fall of
a single point only widens the breach between
debtor aud creditor, and while itmay bring us by
much nearer to what is called hard-pan it compli-
Gates the situation and intenNfes the suffering and
distress Had the market recovered a few per cents,
and held the recovery for several days, many mil
lions of debt would have been quietly cancelled
which must now be settled through tue expensive,
tedious, and notifying process of the Bankrupt
law The opening, highest, lowest and closing
prices Of active stocks were as follows:
