II Is the leaders which bother the whip In coach
Ing team, and IN this capacity Western Union has
bothered the market to-day II was inclined to be
fractions at times sakipg the collar and then iobbins
IKE 1 half broken four-y ear-old Still tho route was
Town hill and the wheels Of declining speculation
kept the coach going. The vehicle might have over
ridden the horses had II not been for vigorous APP
uication OF tho brakes by some party or parties IN
known who gave twist to the instrument
lust in the nick OF time. "C'ea IN mystsre ~
exclams Prince Paul tho ''Grande Duchesse"
1T Is a mystery, indeed" say board members
in contemplating the Of the telegraphc favorte
and they are led this exclamation from the fact that
despite tho apparent heavy sales for the last few ys
by Gouids brokers' the stock has resisted any impor
tant decline
The extremes to-day have been limited to 66h and
s5x the sunrise and sunset OF the days quotations.
Law could's people have been persistent sellers Mt
prices which slowly yielded to the supply, and keen
rnders on the market found themselves confronting
,onundrum which they could not guess, as to whero
he purchasing orders came from. There was
many Lord Burlegh nod which would have
dcghted tho famous Primo Minister from its fidelity
Of imitation, and meant about as little. The opinion
expressed day two since seems TO be nearly cor
rect that Could taking temporary long line for the
purpose OF clearing path of nconvenlcn shorts has
sold his stock out upon the market
There is change in the status Of the concstng tel
egraph companies improve Western Union, but rather
Tho reverse, under the persistent opposition OF At
antic and Pacific with its lower scale OF prices already
made and further reduction threatened. What there
was OF animation in to-days market confined to the
telegraph specially Lake Shore and Michigan Central
worked together unison they have done for days
back but their slight fluctuations were duo TO the efforts
OF the am traders who advanced depressed prices
as suited their books.
Coal stocks weakened from tho best figures OF the
day Delaware and ackawanna selling at l09 and New
Jersey being offered At close at OK without takers
The anthracite people are finding themselves with
moro Goals than customers with plethora OF produc-
ton and paucity OF profits and at tho moment with
no very assuring outlook for the future.
There was no special feature TO Pacific Mail or tho
other speculative stocks and the day voted dull
and dreary one by o large majority.
