The stock market opened this morning quiet and
steady and the highest prices Of the day were re-
corded in the early transactions. Western Onion
opened at T3 sold at 73s972ao7A and closed at 72}
with recorded transactions of $500 shares he
activity and weakness in this stock was attributed
to report which later proved to be well founaed,
that on Monday the Company would reduce ITS rates
to the same as those recently advertised by the A.
and P. Company the point of special interest m
this reduction is that it is the first acknowledgements
of the Western Union that the A. and P. was COM
pany of any importance. or one that could IN any
way interfere with its business; whatever may
happen TO the stockholders of either Company, the
public may rejoice at the prospect OF lively eempe-
tition and cheap telegraphy. Pacific Mail opened
at s24, advanced to 81. Oh a lively covering by
shorts settled back to S2S. and closed al
S2a. Union Pacific was the most active Of
the railroad stocks; opening at Ds, 10
sold down to So. rallying at the close to 4Of.
