Great Monopoly-COnsOlidatf of Ri- val Telegraph Companfes-No More Cut ting of Rates-Stock Speeulators That Got Bitten.
 NEW YORK, Jan 12.-New York has been filled with rumors for some time past that ar
 engagements were in progress for the consoli-
 dation of the Western Union and American Union Telegraph companies. The reports of
 the consolidation took definite shape Tues
 day, and it was officially announced to-day
 that the consolidation had been perfected The details of the terms upon which consoli- dation has been made are not officially given
 and in their absence of course all sorts of ru-
 mors are aaoat about it. One report is that Western Union stock is put in at par, Ameri- can Union at 90 and Atlantic and Pacific at 45 Another sfs that Western Union and American Union are put in at par and Allan tic and Pacific at 50, that entirely new stock is to be issued and that after the conso1ida- tion is permanently effected the lines are to be sold out to the government. On Monday of last week mysterious heavy purchas- ing movement in Western Union stock began on the New York Stock Ex- change. On that day Ill, ,O0O shares changed hands, and since the move ment began the aggregate dealings in the stock have amounted to 676 100 shares much more than the entire capital of the company. The market value of the stock, which had been greatly depressed by reports of large sales by William H. Vanderbilt and the other directors, and of probable ruinous war of rates with the rival line, rose steadily from 81 ], the price at which it was quoted on December 31, to 103, at which rate it sold at one time Tuesday-an advance of 218 per cent. Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph compa- nys stock did not begin to move until two days later, and American Union telegraph stock until Saturday last. The advance re- corded in the latter has been 16 per cent from 70 to s6-and in the former per cent. from B to 40.
 Apropos of the consolidation of the tele- graph companies, the following table is of interest as showing the prices at which stocks have ruled for the past month:

a long time that what appears now to have
 come would be the inevitable result The
 miscalculations which have been go costly, to
 the well-informed have simply been in re- 1 spect to time when the inevitable would | occur. ,,,
 So far as can be learned, no meeting was
 held this evening of persons interested in the | consolidation. Particulars of the consol-
 idation will not be made public until
 they have been submitted and agreed to by
 the directors of both companies. meeting l has been; called for an early day. Dr. Green,
 president of the Western Union Telegraph company, to-day said 'It is a fact that a consolidation has been decided on by the leading managers of the three companies, but the details of the matter will not be entirely settled before Wednesday next, when another meeting will be held. !" MT. Green further said he, was not at ib erty to make any statement as to the basis of amalgamation for publication, for the reason that the matter was still in measure of abeyance. General Ecksrt, president of the American Union, said there had been preliminary talk, but no actual consolid ation thus far, and the matter would have to be de- cided by vote of the stockholders.

 The Senatorial Caucus This Evening.
 ALBANY, Jan. 12.-It is now generally un- derstood that the caucus will be held to-mor- row evening Each of the candidates and his friends are yet sanguine of success. The ru- nor that the Democrats will come to the aid of Depew is growing, and there are those who say that it will be done. It is also said that his supporters will not attend the eau GUS, but will await the joint ballot, believing that the nomination of the two houses will not agree and a joint call will be necessary.
