FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

"WEDNESDAY, Nov 15-P. M.-The move
ments at the Stock Exchange developed nothing
of special significance, and aside from an engi-
neerinc process for lower prices just at the
close, there were no features commanding par
ticular remark. Lake Shore, which was the
most active specially on the list, moved up dur
ing the morning from 55,s to 55's, and Western
Union wgs at the same time y better at 12k.
The st. Pauis were also steady at 20s and $50
52L, while Michigan Central rallied from 423. to
Az, and New jersey Central was y better at
337. but the general market experienced SUBJ
stantia decline under the free selling move
ment ABOVE mentioned. Lake Shore yielded to
55.. ST. Paul to 1877, the preferred to 5Ok, and
Michigan Central to as. Pacific Mail attracted
attention because 1t suddenly. under the COW
erine OF the shorts, ran up y n cent. to 25k, but
1t reacted again y cent, which was the lowest
figure OF the day. Ohos further dropped TO So,
and Delaware. Lackawanna and Western WAS
down from ~, to II. at which II closed. Della
ware and Hudson RANGED IL 6Na4 to Os5s; while
Erie. after opening at lO'., went Oh to W.

canoe to the dealings. and the uncertain atti-
tute Of The market enabled any bold Spectator
to exercise his personal Views, without refer
ence TO the actual course OF prices naturally,
and which only the next few weeks will deter

such mixed condition that outside operators
on either side OF the account had best keep
aloof from the market.
