FINANCIAL And COMMERCIAL.
The Bulls" Still Rule the
Market.
MONEY ON CALL EASY.
Governments Steady. Railway Bonds
Somewhat Ragged.
WALL STREET,
FRIDAY. August 1-6 p. II.


In the vernacular Of the street. the "bulge on tho
stock market continued this morning. which was
particularly observable in Lake Shore and the
grangers So to speak. these stocks are tho legs OF
the market. for upon them tho rest OF the list is
being carried the journey to higher prices. In
some quarters It feared that the support may give
out pushed much further. or at least bag at the
knees in the shape of o sharp reaction. In otner
quarters confidence in higher prices sparkies ike the
bead on glass of the Widow Cliquot. and any hints
at tho possibility of speculation running into state
of intoxicston is secuted with scorn. At any rate
there has been a rollcking market to-day. and
it has besa aided and abetted by the
large order, which came from the Wander
blt people to buy Lake Shore and the steady inquiry
for the granger shares. Kansas and Northern and
Wabash were more active and higher on the belief
that Mr. Gould's transcontinental railroad scheme
will practical shape and that these roads Will
form important elements Of the same. Somewhat to
the surprise of the street Michigan Central remains
dull and barely steady being made to yield the pas
to Lake Shore daily dealings. and it is stated that
the Saratoga wirepudlers are religously giving 1t
the cold shoulder in their speculative schemes 1t Is
reported that the Louisville and Nashville railroad
failed to earn their recently declared dividend
by S15o.OOO. The dividend at 2h per cent
amounts to s25o00O. while the net earnings
applicable to it do not exceed $4,000
Coal stocks remained steady without material change.
The that the price Of coal has been marked down
by several OF the companies since the Delaware ana
Lackawanna auction is taken proof that the rise
then made not inseparable from manipulations
of hocus pocus nature. For the grangers. Lake
Shore and Wabash, the market closed in whirlwind
of excitement and at the highest points OF the day.
The extreme fluctuations of the day in leading
shares is shown:in the following table of prices

began to thank his stars for the happy
thought. In pulling teeth he did ad-
mirab'y, and his wealth increased. One
day, however, q miner entered his Office
and asked to have . set of false teeth
made. Nothing abashed our dentist
seated the miner in the chair and pro-
ceeded to fill his mouth with plaster paris
to gain model for the teeth The plaster
remained moment too long and hard
ened IN the miners jaw ! Acting with
great GOODNESS, aud with bland smile,
the dentist took it all as a matter Of
course, and finally with some difficulty
the plaster was removed. He then told
the miner to call the next day and his
teeth would be ready for him When
night came he packed his goods, took
down his sign, and left town. well assured
that there was at least one branch in den
t,stry beyond his knowledge " "
There are il Helena nearly 400 Chinese
who live exclusively in the Chinese quar-
ter. 1t is well worth the trouble to take
trip through this portion Of the town
after dark. At the door Of every cabin
stands q woman that would persuade the
stranger to enter. But It the stranger is
wise and follows Solomon's advice he
pays no attention to their ent!cements.
On an average, everr tenth house is open
for gambling, and as soon as the lamps
are lit these houses are filed with the
Chinese, who play with great esgerness.
1t is wild and interesting sight t. watch
the players, their dark faces lit up by the
lamps und full of excitement over the
game. Each one sce,ns willing to stake
his last dollar, as no doubt many d" in
the course Of an evening. Human nature
is much the same over the whole earth,
and the Chinese gambler when winning
or losing, acts as white man does under
the same circumstances, only, perhaps,
his excitement is stronger. ...
