STOCKS.

The present market is enshrouded in tn
most perplexing mystery; no one can make
a beginning or an end of it. One hal
day the streets" are away down and thu
"board" away up, then the next half day The
see saw works contrary wise. In yesterda,
mornings board the north enders took I
lively upward squirt, but it would be a safe
thing to calculate upon pr"p rtlonate back
set to-day. One of the new theories advanced
now, respecting the peculiar action Of tins
| market is that the bonanza firm holding
several millions worth of Union ut from $3.50
to 5000 per share, and the impression is gain
ing ground that there Is nothing in that mine
so far. Consequently the bouanzlers are try
ing to make market on Union to the tenn,
porary disad Vantage of Sierra Nevada which
has indisputable worth. so rs to dispose of
their Union at a figure approximatlng the
original cost But, then, this is only one of
the many speculative street theories. Another
stock oracle, who never made dollar on the
market, came forward yesterday and pre-
dicted that upon the arrival at Virginia OF
General Grant world astonishing showing
will be made in the north enders. to impress
the illustrious visitor with the permanency
and wealth of the Comstock. The oracle further
alleges this this will be done so as to give the
General an opportunity to present the facts Is
he finds them to capitalists on the Atlantic
side, which would naturally have the effect of
~, t,,fE f.
ital to the Pacific for investments in mining
stocks But no Importance can be attached
to the oracles predictions, as he has All i'm
aginative nature of prodigous elasticity. Au
early deal III Bodie stocks is also spoken of
as one of the contemplated interesting features
in the stock programme out whether the
ardent desire is not the the paternal progen-
ltor of the prognostication, the future only
will reveal. The coast is ripe for big deal,
be it on the Comstock or at Bodie, and the
only thing requisite to make one of the most
exciting mark cts ever seen will be bona ttde
development.
