FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

TUESDAY, April 4-P. M.-The morning
business at the Stock Exchange, aside from de-
velopinR a nrmer tone, presented nothing Of
special Significance; but the later dealings, un-
der the leadership Of Lake Shore and Western
Union, were characterized by positive advance
and a more buoyant feeling. The shorts have
been for several days quietly covering their con-
tracts and the strength OF Western Union yes
terday and to-day confirmed this fact.
The first impression made upon the general
market was noted when the increased earnings
Of the st. Paul road Of over $4,000 for March, as
compared with last year, became known; and
this information acted as stimulus to tue bet
ter tone later established. Lake Shore was soon
taken In hand, and moved up y y cent. to Gl.
while Western Union was at the same time i
better az 80. Erie became conspicuous by fur
Their rise to DA, and Northwestern COM
Central recovered II to co.. and gen
eral feeling OF relief expressed be-
Of the dizziness whieh Tor so long time has
characterized the daily transactions. New Jer-
this NJ orning, declined TO 1887, and Pacific Of
Missouri was ,. lower at l5s, cut Ohios were
strong at an advance TO ls'l, ana Pacific Mail
] ned In the upward movement,with sales at lsA
To 1872. The interest, however, was chiefly con-
fined to the Lake Shore Western Union, and Erie
circles, but there WAS a positiycness and tone
attached to the dealings which indicated a more
active speculation In the early future. Ia Pana-
ma stock there were no recorded translcuons,
but the new directors, at their meeting TO-DAY,
voted to postpone the usual quarterly dividend.
The ostensible reason for this action Is embraced
in the statement that the company Is unable to
collect its dues from the Pacific Mall but there
arc counter charges made by the latter company
which will probably be settled only through the
courts.
