weak and the general list declined a to ~ per
cent, the latter in Texas Pacific. At the first
board the market became strong and under
brisk purchases a languid advance from II to

depressed, Manhattan Elevated selling off 81
per cent, Metropolitan Elevated per cent
and New York Elevated 2 per cent. This
break was made by the latest reports of legis-

The Commercial Bulletin says: It 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 IS expected the
| Southwestern railroads of Gould'S will be
brought together by consolidation, but wheth-
er 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 s1rreed
| to increase the capital stock of that company
| to $40, 1000, 600, 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 a capacity for thirty. sub
| scription to the securities of the company is
| being taken up for the full amount necessary
| to make the extensions.
