observe the favorable undertOne resulting from
the announcement that interest on Tennessee
bonds would be promptly paid as heretofore an
nounced In the HERALD. The Comptroller anu
Treasurer OF the State have been in the city during

lishment OF an agency through which the payments

THE STOCK MARgET.
stocks to-day Jailed to maintain the improve
ment which they showed yesterday, and from the
beginning until the end the same Old depressing
influences were again observable. The old stag
ers OF the market begin to seriously doubt
whether prices have yet touched bottom as certain
stocks are not even now selling for more than
their actual value. Hence an indispOsition to
speculate upon perpetualiy shifting basis and a
market that is made chiefly by those upon the
floor OF the Stock Exchange, who, guided by the
events OF the moment, buy or sell for quick
turn. Prices all close lower than they did week
ago, the principal decline being in Western Union,
wabash, Pacific Mall Union Pacific, Panama and
Canton, which broke from II to So. The decline OF
the day ranged rom u to ~ per cent and was
was not attended by material recovery. The
transactions were comparatively light. Western
Union declined from IL. to 7oH; Pacific Mail from
431 to Az; Panama from 1861 to lo4X; Lake
Shore from 761s to 1914; Northwest common from
43H to 42.; Rock Island, x per cent; st. Paul
from 34x to 33k; Union Pacific from 2Sh to 27k.
