THIRD CALI,-2:30 p. VI.

THURSDAY, jan 29-PM
The general stock speculation to-day opened
strong enough. but very soon a reaction occurred
which carried prices down from q to per cent.
This was followed by a rally, aud subsequently, by
feverishness and frequent fluctuations. The open
ing of Central Pacific was the occasion for no little
excitement and the price of the stock quickly adj
vanced from Sill to 81, later declining TO 81, at
which it closed The recorded transactions in tho
stock amounted to 29,54O shares, of which 10000
shares were in the first hour The other very
active stocks Lake Shore, Erie ST. Paul COM
nIon Hannibal aud ST. Joseph and the Wabasjes,
all OF which show declines on the days business.
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western active.
aud its price advanced to Sol2 against the
shorts The movement. however. lacked stabil-
ity, aud the price easily yielded to S5ai, although
at the last moment of business it was marked up to
sea- The st. Louis aud San Francisco shares were
stronger. making further advances of from L to
per cent. Western Union was dull and little lower
and Pacific Mail after selling up to4O9s fell to $685.
There was no reason for the change in the temper OF
the speculation to-day, except that the market
for day or two has exhibited indications of )" full
ness that was rendering it very difficult to loan
many of the active stocks. and it Is possible that
the reaction begun to-day may have to be pressed
further before tine market will gain healthy eqni
