A theatrical manager would not think much OF
Stock Exchange sensation which runs for ono day only
and then fails to attract more than a moderate aten.
tion, but stockholders used 10 such spasms,
and accordingly little surprised this morning
when New Jersey Central subsidized into the beaten
track though cash stock and its scarcity had beeL
dream OF the past Although lacking in large trans
actions there was want OF vitality, as the lively
fluctuations showed There were two and onehalf
points difference in the of the day, with the
closing price one-ha per cent better than tho opening
very pretty game OF battledore and shuttecock
marking the interim.
Its side partner Delaware and Lackawanna followed
parallel course in humble imitation, the same being
exhibited in volume Of sales and loss violent ductua-
TONS In fact there particular weakness shown
in either Of these specaltes that dsagreeabc charac
teristic being confined Delaware and Hudson, the
last OF the triad. Although confined sales OF rac
tional lots which did not aggregate l. 900 shares all
tod, the stock seemed TO shut up like spygass and
devoid Of strength cholera patient m COL
lapse, whose pulse beating at time at % - fell
down TO 951s aud was left with scarce shade Of I'M

shape Of seller 60 offers at to per cent under the
advance guard Of sellers II more important stock
holders can be inspired with tho desired alarm, and
be frightened into bringing their property to mar
ket the bears will be able to reap tho advantage OF
their audacy, but without this II is Lot clear where
the profit is coming from.
The trial trip yesterday Of Pacific Mail appar-
emily an one for the vessel has been tied
up 10 the dock again to-day with hardly dog watch
Of dealers Il guard its interests
Almost all the active railway stocks on tho up
ward turn and although the grade is heavy
progress made in surrounding It, There is some
quiet buying the long side of the account In
patton OF fall trade which, believed will
lead to kiss and frends'' policy and restoration
OF more remuncratve rates. 1t is question, though
whether that patient horse the public be brought
TO the trough made to drink when he's got there
The experience in most has been that the
have been bitter waters' indeed, Of aperent
than tonic, and fraught with unsatisfactory result
Without this aid bull movement must be transient
and unsatisfactory, and belong TO the professionals
who start and keep 1t going
