What Was Done in the

THE CLOSING FIGURES

After the Fourth
WALL STREET.

SUNDAY July q. 1879 II
is like dipping into ancient history to recall the
events Of business week. which was limited to
four days. and which came to an end long ago
as last Thursday; still. it has been Fourth Of
July all the while" in greater less degree OF in-
tensty up to the present reading. and as a maximum
of celebrating is apt to be followed by mini
mum of memory, it may not be inadvisabe briefly
recall the chief features Of the period referred to-
One of them. and the most prominent at that, was
the intense dulness which prevailed. Almost with
out exception the chief operators had lett town
and the market was given over to the small
dealers, who handled it gingerly as
though they expected it to bite them. In
it did. notably such operators
had dabbled in the granger shares at the highest
figures of the present rse for steady decline set
in on Monday which not checked until Thurs
day. and only then at the cost of to per cent
The decline may be ascribed several causes. I'M
prints, three days holiday impending. and
holiday is ever bete ner to weak holders, in whose
memory still live lively recollections of Chicago and
Boston fires and other vague calamities Multiplied
by three the dee noir becomes threatening as the
beast Apocalypse. and bold is the broker OF thin
margins that does not cut and As an added
pressure to sell the grangers came reports from
the West Of serious injury to the wheat crop by
rust" and of material falling off in receipts Of
grain at chicago ana milwaukee,. "hiie
the first report appears to be devoid
Of truth and simply story gotten up to
influence prices the second is fact. disagreeable
it may be to the bulls. but nevertheless the very
natural sequence of termination to the corner in
wheat and OF the shipments forced to market to
make deliveries ON account of the same. While the
grangers were thus weak aud declining the rest OF
the list was simply steady and dull. though in tho
cases of Kansas and Northern Iron Mountain and
Louisville and Nashville prices were stronger and
higher Reports of some sort of combination Of in
terests to be made between the first named and
Union Pacific and Wabash. the narrowing of gauge
and increased earnings in the second, and dividend
of 21d per cent declared on the third, were the
springs of action i'll each instance On Thursday
very decided rally took place i'll the grangers ana
the business week of four days closed with anima-
ton and greatly restored confidence.
