THE STOCK MARKET.


Beyond the discussion OF the currency question
in Congress there have oeen during the past week
few disturbing influences in this market the fiuc-
tuatfons being more frequent than wide. Erie was
the chief sufferer for a time, in consequence OF
break IN the London price, occasioned by the strike
at Susquehanna, and the reported trouble between
the Atlantic and Great Western party and the
other side from SO to 321 but after the f0rtnghtly
settling day advanced to 35 In this market the
price declined from 40 to 374, bur recovered late
In the week TO o9zs. A reported panic in London
likewise served to create q depressing effect on
the general list OF stocks until the denial Of the
fact was received, whereupon there was partial
recovery, the market closing steady. The effect Of
imitation Is not Immediately apparent, except on
gold, and there are not a few who predict dsap-
pontment to those who have purchased stocks in
anticipation of an advance. The extreme dulness
OF the market, the difficulty with which it Is
moved upward and the comparative smalness OF
dealings are iac1s strongly suggestive OF the dis.
