TUESDAY, june 3-P. W. &
The transactions in stocks to-day exceeded those
Of yesterday about 5000 shares. but the dealings
were characterized by great irregularity and no
little fevershness. At the opening prices generally
were lower than at the close yesterday, after which
there was rally, followed by another de-
cline that left the majority of the prices at
about the lowest OF the day. The exceptions were
Lake Shore, Michigan Central, and the North
westerns. Lake Shore first declined from 74Ss to
"a at which it met with resistance
that proved sufficient 10 carry 1t up TO
743. and, after another decline to74Ss, to make the
closing figures the best of the day in the midst Oh
n generally weak market. Michigan Central first
fell to 7512 later selling at 77G762i. While tho
two stocks named were thus supported. Central
and Hudson, on a larger business than has been
usual of late, declined to 11S011Sl2, and Ere
was weak, selling down to 26l2G260s. Northwest
common was advanced from G23s to G3@i weak
ening at the close to SO, and the pre-
ferred stock, after advance from 9ll2 to
95Is. closed at 9434. The Hannibal and st.
Joseph stocks also cromade a feature. each stock
advancing about per cent from its opening price,
with subsequent decline that III final sales left o
gain for the common of only IS per cent and for the
preferred of L per cent.
The ST. Paul stocks, although rallying from open-
ing prices did not touch the best prices OF yeSter-
day, and in final sales show fractional declines.
The Western list generally where it was at All
active was feyerish aud at the close shows greater
or less losses the days business, The coal Stocks
continued active and recovered quite sharply from
the early decline that they suffered, bur they too.
in final sales show losses ranging from - To )
per cent OF the investment stocks, Chi
cago and Alton was 1 per cent lower
at s2l2 and New-York Elevated ga per cent
AT fSS after having sold at 1sJ. The telegraph
stocks for the most part were neglected but the
few sales made of them were at lower prices than
the final figures of yesterday. Pacific Mail was
dealt in to the extent of $1,000 shares. but not
withstandng the prevalent opinion in favor OF
higher figures for 1T. the sales were made at from
175s down to 16l4 lG5s, the closing quotation be-
ing 10LG1GSs.
The mining stocks to-day were less active and
the recent prices for some of them were not fully
sustained AT the Stock Exchange, Standard sut-
fered decline to 3D. which was ascrbed to a disap
pointment that the usual monthly dividend was not
announced in this mornings papers. When, how

covered to 34osG3Ias. Homcstake sold at 80 39ai,
