The indisposition on the part Of operators to
purchase stocks, together with increasing uneasi-
ness as to earnings of roads, both OF dividend and
and non-dividend- paying stocks, is every day
shown by the steady decline in the prices Of
shares at the Board. The softneSs observed in
yesterdays market continued to-day, opening
prices not showing much variation from the close
Of yesterday, the most noticeable decline being
In Pacific Mail to 305s, and Wabash to I93<.
The latter declined on rumOrs that a receiver
had been appointed, and Pacific Mail on 9 report
that the City of Picking had sustained severe in
jury on her trip to San Francisco. Late dealings
were at an Improvement on the decline but until
better business and confidence return there can
be no hope for marked or permanent improve
ment in prices.
