FRIDAY, August Sc p. M.
Stocks went balloonng again to-day. and good
many Spectators who not prepared for the
ascent 'left." Among these were many old
stagers in the street. who had calmly settled it in
their minds that the highest prices of the year had
been seen and that they might leave the market to
simmer down while they abandoned the parching
precincts of the Stock Exchange for brief sojourn
IN q cooler region. With the first whirr OF
the tickers this morning, however. visions of
mountain peaks and sherry cobblers were
dissipated like fash. Lake Shore stared them
in the face ut advance Of u per cent the clos

creased the gain to Ia. The general list followed
with surprising strength and. excepting brief pc

prices persistently advanced throughout At the
close Lake Shore had ascended 31a per cent above
the price for the last sale of yesterday Northwest
aud St. Paul, galvanized into life, followed with
81 advance over opening figures Of ia and
1 per cent respectively. The telegraph stocks also
displayed considerable strength and c., c. and I. G.
appreciated 1s per cent and Michigan Central ia.
Under heavy sales the coal stocks suffered slight
decline, and they offered the only exception the
general strength of the market 1t is safe to assert
that those who have been manipulating the bull
movement during the past week intended yesterday
TO let the market sell of. The refreshing change in
them with fresh vigor, aud entirely move
ment was resolved upon They bought calls upon
the granger stocks in large quantities from
well known operator. whose faith in
their speedy decline has been talked of in the street.
and this morning they began to hoist the prices for
the purpose Of squeezing him. Most of the orders
for heavy purchases OF the stocks in question. as
well as tor the Lake Shore and Michigan Central prop
critics. came by telegraph from Saratoga. When these
dispatches began to arrive the attention of the
operator referred to called the matter, and it
is more than likely that perceiving the trick. he
hastened to a considerable proportion OF his
'short' sales. Small speculstors sold short yes
terday in considerable numbers and are now in a
quandary what to do Meanwhile there is ga fresh

puffed high that many may get stiff necks trying

Another Startling Invention.

The Boston Post of the 18th says: We
are enabled to lay before the readers OF the
Post this morning piece OF exclusive intel
ligence which will be found of Intense and
universal interest 1t reaches us by the last
mail from London, and indicates that the
Old and New Worlds are about to hail the
approaching dawn of cheap telegraphy on
land and under sea between and throughout
all the countries of the civilized globe, but
| more particularly across the Atlantic ocean
between Europe and America. We learn
| that the American Cable Company, Of New
| York, through its general agent, who is now
| ia London, has just closed, signed and sealed
one OF the most important contracts that was
ever connected with the subject of tele-
graphing, and by which the new company
has secured the exclusive right to the use of
| new invention, or process, for sending
messages by cables and otherwise. One
party to the contract guarantees to send ten
| messages of twenty words each per minute
! through the conducting wire between Paris
or London and New York. This is the min
imum speed stated in the contract, but it is
| said that at the maximum speed, what could
| be sent in thirty minutes would be equal to
the number OF words contained in one num-
| Der of the London Times or the New York
| Herald. And it is also asserted that by this
| process an entire number of either Of the
abeve-named journals could be dispatched
| through the cable from New York to Lon
don or Paris, or from London to New York,
| and be reproduced at those points in fac
simile, On stereotyped block or plate, com
plete and ready to be printed from, in thirty
| minutes, and at a trifiing expense. This
would make an average rate of about two
| thousand words per minute.
| What has enabled this wonderful process
| or invention to be brought TO perfection and
put TO practical use is the new system
and inventions now controlled by the Amer
lean Cable Company, these latter instru-
ments serving as the basis of the new dis
covery.
