THE STOCK MARKET.

THK STOCK MARKET.
The stock market for the day. measured by its
opening and closing prices, exhibits in the main
comparatively little change; yet between these ex-
tremes there was considerable nuctuation and
feverishness that might be traced to the financial
condition OF the government. There was likewise
an evident determination to follow certain leaders
who are known TO possess the power requisite
to move prices at will, and who for many
days have been accredited with the control OF
the situation; but as reports poured in from
Congress, pro and CON, both '.bulls'' and .bears'
were thrown into confusion, and the close marked
decided weakness. We note that Western Union
opened at 73zS, advanced quickly to "a, fell on q
tribe, but recovered and rose to AN and at the
close settled down to 73s 1t is said that influences
are stin at work to move this stock upward. Han
nibal and st. Joseph common, only little

New York Central moved from s5x to

NEW HISTORY
attaches to its progress which has yet to be
revealed. The new authorities are making new
combinations. The prices to-day ranged between
40Z and 39h. Union Pacific started at 80, sold
down to 30X and closed at 81. Lake Shore showed
difference OF about y per cent opening at 1914
dropping to 70 ana closing at 1914. Rock Island
opened at 30 ana closed at 90H. WaDaSn opened at
53E, went to "a, but finally receded to
52H. st. Paul was strongly speculative, the
initial point being AK, the highest A.
the lowest 4OX and the close A.
Ohio and Mississippi ranged between 3Oa
s1,I, with subsequent decline to 3OA. c., G.
and l. G. opened at q, sold up to 2s1 and down to
26h. Northwest common derived Its strength and
steadiness Notwithstanding the sharp advance it
has already experienced, from the publication OF
the annual report OF the company, which shows o
gain of more than 81 1884, ,O00-12 per cent. 1t also
appears that the net earnings, alter deducting all
charges against the property for operating ex-
penses. taxes, renewals, rent of leased roads,
dividends on Chicago and Milwaukee Rail-
way stock and interest bonded debt,
amounted to s2,1s3,91 So for the year.
Dividends were made on December Q, 1872, on both
common and preferred stock, and preferred
stock June 90 1873 amounting to 81, 2,O1964o, which
left balance OF income account OF 81, ,629, 967 81
No dividend was made upon the common stock in
June, as the company were finishing their coui-
bined system or railroads, all OF which were COM
pleted in September last. The system referred to
combines the operation OF nearly 1000 miles Of
road. Since then the business, Notwithstanding
the panic, is said to show gain.
