The report Of the Western Union Telegraph Com
many has been the prime subject Of conversation
today and Judging from its effect upon the market
nrce of the shares opinions would seem TO be about
eoually balanced as to whether it shows better or
n worse condition than was expected. Should the
stock decline tomorrow, it will be because q de-
lberate examination of the report has produced an
immersion unfavorable to the Company. 1t will be
useless to attribute any further depreciation 20 the
efforts of the bears for they would be p0waiiess
to deptess below - stock that, on fair and intel
lipen; examination, had honestly earned a dividend
canal TO s per cent per annum. There is
great abundance of money and capitalists would not
be slow to buy at 20 or 80 or even 90 the stock of
company that has already earned per cent. and
possesses promising future. The shares of the Com
many now stand entirely upon the merits Of the
busness: the report is being thoroughly sf,ed and no
comments of interested partisans affect the stOck
