TUESDAY, July 1876 Z. M.
The market to-day was destitute OF any feature
that REQUIRES special comment. Business was
ouu. the absence of lesdlng operators was felt,
and prices indicated an utter lack OF enthusiasm.
The situation is certainly that does not invite
any save permanent investors, whose aim 1t may
be to purchase at low prices and remove stocks
from the street, and VINO feel sufficiently cona-
dent with reference to the future OF values not to
be disturbed by incidental changes OF two or three
per cent. The Iaet, however, is not TO be ignored
that, In spite OF the poverty OF business the ma
jority OF stocks show frmness. This is especially
true OF st. Paul, Northwest. Lake shore, Pacific

the market, and steady at so TO SOY, closing at

cline OF the day was in Mariposa, from Is to eh,

day does not change the situation, and even moro

elected. The whole number of votes cast was
