FINANCIAL.

BUSINESS was slower on Saturday In the agFrc-
eate7 with moderate activity IN Il few leudlup
lines ouly. The feeling in stocks was nervous
and unsettled
Tho New York stock market was fairly active
ana weak, declining AGI5 per cent, the latter uu
81 fau1, which led the list iu the downward
movement. The unfavorable crop reports cs-
pec'a1lY those concerning the wheat in the
Northwest, were the chief causes for the weak
ness, and the bears were not slow to use then,
LOT all they were worth. The war among the
trunk lines also depressed tho Vandcrbitts
thoalgh the fluctuations were not violent. The
market rallied before the close, under de-
mnnd from the short interest, but closed rather
weak and uncertuin.
Ihe Granger stocks suffered more or less from
pad rop-reports. Northwestern closed ] point
lo~et, Win moderate trading, and it appeared
to have some support
The leading feature was St. Paul, which
opened &c lower, at l:~..3l, fell OF to lis, and
closed at 1lS31. The reports from the wheat dis
trfcts along this line were unfayornble, and It
was reported early that the Milwaukee cligue
were selling out. Wocrishoppcr is said to have
thrown overheard about $1,000 shares MANY
have thought the stock too high for some time
past, and have looked upon 1t lis n dangerous
element on the market. They profess, there
fore. not to be surprised at the tumble of yes-
terdny, and say the end is not yet.
Western Union WAS one Of the strongest stocks
In the city. advancing ut the outset one point,
and closing one-h;:lf higher. The recovery and
relative strength Of Western Union was due to
the action of Gould, who assumed the payment
of the dividends. The injunction on them was
subsequently vacated. 1t was ngain given out
that the Company would soon pay an per cent
dividend.
Louisville and Nashville advanced on the
strength Of favorable reports Of its condition.
St. Joe preferred was also higher. and the Pa
ci1cs didn't change much. The elevated rail-
way properties recovered tone.
