THURSDAY, June 21-6 p. M.
Ansr remaining passably arm and with only trivial
changes for best part OF the morning tho market
IN the last hour took lurch downward, without
apparent reason.
The trunk lines and Western Union were most
scnsiby affected, though per would all
tho damage done What with the du season OF spccu-
laon upon US, the active competition between rail-
road and carriage lat working TO the DIS
advantage Of the former and the uncertain prospects
OF business ahead there exists bu, slight incentive
70 bun campaign
The recent squirt that direction seems to DO aban-
donod as failure and here il moro inclination get
put than to get In. Hence Lake Shore, Central and
Hudson and the st. Paul stocks were freely offered TO-
day market that possessed the most measre Of
appetitea
There 10 beside an evident impression quar-
tiers that prices may become worse before they are
better Judge by efforts made to-day place consid-
cradle lots OF Central and Hudson and Lake Shore
seller 80 and 60 options against which cash stock
bought TO return borrowed shares. Fluctuations in
the coal stocks small despite the promised sale of
l26, 900 tons by the Delaware and Lackawanna Com
pany The steadiness was probably due to the
nouncement OF tho Delaware and Hudson Company
that GOAL would ba offered by them present under
the hammer and further by the rumor that the
special committee appointed to look into the compa-
ny's affairs would shortly publish highly favorable
report
The tumble in Baltimore and Ohio, whicn marked
the stock down to so yesterday, was almost entirely
recovered from to-day, the price reacting to 93 with
90 bid at the close. Tho depression sufficiently
powerful to affect market unavorably ycster-
day. but the reaction barren Of results In the way
Of neutrazing the effect to-day.
