SroCKs but in the main
lower, with the chief decline In North
western, Western Union and Lake Shore.
There is discrepancy between
some of the ports on steamer freights for
wheat shipped on through bills o! lading
from the west, and to remedy This, the
freight agents Of the different lines were
in session to-day. A sharp decline IN
some of the Granger stocks formed a
prominent feature In the market. In
The late dealings a further decline in
Western Union caused large amount
of stock to change hands. Northwestern
common declined to 33B, and pre-
ferred to 5l3, a fall of 2 and Sper
cent respectively rs compared
with last evenings closing prices. New
Jersey Central, which closed last night
at 23s, opened at q and closed at zig.
The weakness was caused by the unfavor'
able exhibit made yesterday OF the com
pany's finances, and the talk of receiver
being revived. The transactions were
10000 shares, of which $4,000 were
w, stern. Union, 5000 Northwestern,

Shore, 5000 Michigan Central, $4,000
