Stocks-The stock market Was irregular at
the opening, but speculation soon became
weak and the general list declined d to 4 per

and New York Elevated 2 per cent. This
break was made by the latest reports of legis-
lative interference and that general reduction
to five cent fare was to be made, both reports
being entirely unfounded. AT the close there
was recovery of 1 per cent. in Manhattan
Elevated and II per cent. in Metropolitan Ele-
waited. Oregon Navigation rose 4 per cent. and

The Commercial Bulletin says: 1t begins
to look as if the present movement in Wall
street was the beginning of the spring and
summer campaign, but this is by no means
certain yet. Next month it expected the
Southwestern railroads of GOuld's will be
brought together by consolidation, but wheth-
err this will be preceded or followed by the long
reported rise in these stocks remains TO be
seen. The recent sharp rise in international &
Great Northern is attributed to Sage, who is
charged by some of his associates with having
| acted contrary to an express understanding be-
tween them and him. Respecting Northern
Pacific, while there is no announcement of the
settlement of the Willard suits, yet there is au-
thority for the statement that all understand
ing has been arrived at which may result in
settlement Vanderbilt will sail for Europe
next week, to return by the same steamer. His
friends represent that he is indifferent about
the new parallel line to the Lake Shore. When
this line is completed, however, he may think
differently about the matter. The directors of
the Mutual Union Telegraph company srreed
to increase the capital stock of that company
to 10,000,0 900, for the purpose of extending
their lines. This will include line from Bos-
ton through Buffalo, Cleveland and Toledo to
Chicago; thence to Milwaukee, St. Paul,
Kansas City, st. Louis, Indianapolis, LOUIS
vile, Cincinnati, Columbus, Pittsburgh
and all important intermediate cities and
towns. The poles have been strung with six
wires and have capacity for thirty. A sub
scription to the securities of the company is
being taken up for the full amount necessary
to make the extensions
