The week ending with to-day was notable on the
Stock Exchange one Of unusually large transae-
tons n % 9O,261 shares, and by marked decline in
the prices of the principal speculative stocks. The
common stock Of the Chicago Milwaukee and St.
Paul Railroad Company was particularly prominent
by recording sales of 252,1S shares and by de-
cline from 49li 499i to 80 with final sales at 10
The preferred stock has sold from S16s9s2 down to
74G753l. The Northwestern shares were less act
i've and better sustained but after recovery of
and 7s per cent the iual sales show loss for the
week Of 5ss per cent for the common and gig per
cent for the preferred These declines will continue
to be ascrbed to the unfavorabe reports concerning
the crop OF Spring wheat But the facts are that
the prices of these stocks bad been advanced above
figures which even the crop Of 1877 would warrant.
And it was we'll known that that crop was nearly
three-fod the average crop. However, the re-
ports of damage done undoubtedly have pre-
cipitated sales by the large h Olders, and thus
FASTENED the inevitable fall In connection with
this comparison of the prices of to-day with those
of year ago of the principal speculative stocks,
is of interest. But il must he remembered that
year ago large crop was well assured, and what Is
OF equal Importance a large foreign demand for it
was confidently expected The prices on the 26th
