seuted no special features except sharp advance
for Alabamas class A. fir ON cole to o. and reac
tIon TO 63964. The transactions at the Boards
amounted TO $4,000, against $3Ol, 900 for the
preceding week.
Railroad bonds generally were firm, with
notable activity and advances for some special
issues The dealings in Erie second consols
and funded 5s were unusually heavy. and at higher
prices The large dealings in the junior issues OF
st. Louis and Iron Mountain. and of Mobile and
Ohio were conspicuous features of the week, and
their prices rose from to per cent. During the
week there were listed at the Board the securities
of the Peoria. Decatur and Evansville and OF the
Ohio Central Railroad. But no dealings were re-
pmted in the income bonds of either company.
These bonds pay such portion Of per cent interest
rs may be earned in any one year, and the prospect
tnat interest on them will be paid at an early day
renders ID probable that when their character is
better understood the dealings in them will become
as prominent as have been the dealings IN the
iuniors of some other reconstructed railroads

In general way the sfock speculation last week
was dull aud uninteresting. The total transactions
amounted only to 1,60i,966 shares against
1885 ,264 shares for the previous week, and
2,sl21S shares for the week preceding that. Early
in the week the market was depressed. but after
the Government bond purchase a more confident
tone prevailed and there a recovery in prices,
but not one that makes the final changes for the
general market of importance, except IN
showing the changed disposition Of operators.
Some notable changes, however, occurred
Cor a few specialtes. Louisvlles and Nash
Vile shows an advance of 20ls; Louisville New
Albany and Chicago, an advances Of 10; Houston
and Texas, 3 Nashville. Chattanooga and 81.
Louis, Sig; and Ohio and Mississippi preferred z
per cent. After Erie had declined from 4Sl2 10
z6ls, new upward movement was started ID it
upon the signing of the tlsthc contract" But
IL only carried the price 10 4S3s. and the
stock closed the week with final Il per cent loss
Coal stocks were first weak, but upon the an-
nouncement of quasi contract between the CON-
panies TO restrict the output of coal, new bull
movement was started, and the prices OF the coal
stocks from / to Dig per cent higher
than O week ago. The greatest advance
Is In New-Jersey Central, which with
no other interest now in the coal trade except as
carrier of coal, can reap no benefit from reduced
tonnage. But that makes no difference. In 1879
soal stocks were /" bulled because of the extraor

Al last legitimate trade begins to reflect the Ill
effects OF speculations which have locked mp the
products of the country and checked exports de-
spite the fact that freghs never before were
offered so low. AS the season advances wlthont
bringing any relief TO the deadlock, less buoyau'
feeling is manifested in commercial circles DuIing
last week an export movement was stimulated by
an advance of about Sd. for wheat in the Liverpool
market but our spectators immediately selzeo upon
that aa y.nc to advance prices here. The provision
speenlation gave way. and prices sharply Declined
without however, stimulating an export demand
While the prices for iron have been fully main
tanned there was n considerable Stacking IN the
trading and the demand for American production is
being somewhat affected by the comparatively
lower prices for foreign production.
stimuant was administered to financial circles
and particularly to the speculative portion, by the
purchase of 81 400, 900 bonds by the Government
ON Wednesday and by the announcement that here
after until further notice, 81 100000 bonds Will be
purchased each Wednesday. The agreement reached
by the WAYS and Means Committee of the National
House of Representatives to report bill to refund
the~6 and per cents of 1880 and 1881 into 2O-4O
wear 3la per cent bonds also had stimulating
effect upon the markets. Money, which until Thurs

real condition of the at tie close OF business
Friday probably was at least 50, 100000 better than

And the reserves were further strengthened
