THE STOCK MARKET
The active features Of the market to-day were
Western Union and Pacific Mail, each Of which re.
sponded to Numerically opposite influences. On
the one hand, strong undertOne in Western Union
held Its figures firm between 9O14 OIL, the
majority of business being in the higher fractions
On the other hand, Pacific Mail began to show ad.
ditional signs OF inherent weakness by opening at
81, dropping to 367s 1914, reacrng with an advance
to 377, but at the last recedng to 36 S67 Advices
were received from San Francisco yesterday to the
effect that the savings banks OF that city, which
financial aid was counted, had refused to make the
desired loans while the builders Of the new
steamers in Delaware are pressing for payment.
The President and directors are apparently too
'bue" to give any cheering information on the SUBJ
ject. 1t Is said that they have received an init
nation from an Official source that unless they get
out Of their muddle quickly the payment OF the
subsidy voted by Congress will be suspended.
These statements have naturally exerted depress-

to take action concerning the issue OF new bonds.
ERIE

business at 60H, was sold at IS, seller go; but re-

in the day, when the pool came in and gave 1t an
upward jump to 611S q 61A. The stock loaned
early in the day at q 1-lG a 1872 and later nat
The disposition to take the chances OF being badly
beaten in this stock has measurably diminished,
and the speculative spirit has wisely turned its at
tenti0n to other quarters. The known amount OF
Erie stock brought by the Russia was 1900 shares
The true amount is kept secret for purposes best
known to those who are interested. Meanwhile
the volume Of stock sent here from various pOr-
lions OF the country is still hand. and Is daily
increasing as the news circulates that 1t may pos
