FRIpAY. Jan. l8-P. VI.

The stock speculation to-day was feverish and
irregular throughout, but resulted in advancing
the figures from Is to per cent for a major
ty of the list. At the opening all prices
were heavy and lower than the closing
ones Of last evening But this condition
WAS onickly followed by rally. after which the
fluctuations were frequent. The final gains. how
ever. with few exceptions, do not exceed per cent
Prominent among the exceptions are Louisville
and Nashville Nashville. Chattanooga and ST. LOUIS,
Union Pacific. Pacific Mail Hannibal and It. Joseph
common and preferred, Chicago, st. Louis and Now
Orlean, and Kansas Pacific. The last-named stock
sold MP to 100 and closed at 09l4. This advance
i. upon talk of lease OF the road to, or cOnsoli-
dation with the Union Pacific.
Among the declines Alton and TeTe Haute
preferred Houston and Texas aud the
Elevated Railroad stocks wero the most conspicu-
ous But such stocks as Rock Island, Northwest
and -. Paul also were fractions lower The reports
of a serious difficulty between these roads on the
question of Colorado freights are confirmed
m this city, although the officers and agents
of the companies hero are very retlcent
If the report is true that tho Rock Is
land Railroad Is taking freight at Chicago
Tor st. Paul by the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and
Northern Road, it indicates fight of much more
scrious character than the officers here admit.
Western Union was dull hnt stronger selling mp to
1888, and closing at 1884 The market closed ex-
cited and irregular.
