NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-The average feel.
ing last night, at the Windsor, regarding
the probable course of speculation to-day
continued rather bullish, especially early in
the day, but some of the more conservative
traders, who are usually pretty good
guessers, were predicting sharp downward
turn this afternoon or tomorrow on antici-
pated heavy realizing sales by the cliqucs.
The most active brokers' those represent
ing some of the most extensive commission
houses, claimed, however, that the.import-
ant feature of the trading yesterday after
noon was the absence of any considerable
quantities of securities for sale on the rising
market, and there certainly was good heavy
buying of Western Union, Delaware, Lack
awanna & Western, Reading, Jersey Cen
trail, Union Pacific, Ontario & Western,
Ohio Central, Denver aud the Changers.
There was little or no Union Pacifics for
sale, and when the stock touched 123 it
was stated Osborne had been considerable
purchaser Of Reading, in New York, Phila-
delphia and London for three days past
and that he gave his purchasing orders out
yesterday in this market to room traders.
1t was stated also that Osborne and Woeris-
hotter were the large buyers of Ontario &
Western. ~ ..r .,Y
There was rumor current this morning
that Sage was about to enjoin the Stock
Exchange from dealing in Hannibal COM
mon, but it is not believed any such ap-
plication will prevail or be granted.
The Hopkins corner injunction is q mere
friendly suit for form. The formers shorts
may lose about $4,000. Sage yesterday, as
test, offered Hutchinson 300 Hannibal &
st. Joe preferred in lieu of the common,
but the delivery WAS declined.
Sage is a bull on the Northwestern COM
mon and says the company is earning u
vast amount of money Tho Union Pacific
bulls are talking 100 for the latter stock in
thirty days. Gould tells his friends that
the last rains have been of great value to
the late planted corn, and the ears have
filled out amazingly. He also says that the
Western Union earnings this quarter will
show such large figures that 500, 900 of the
receipts will be placed to the account of the
next quarter.
There Is more than a suspicion, neverthe-
less, that very large proportion of the inn
mense remaining surplus which will be
shown in the report has come from the sale
of miscellaneous securities in the treasury
and other property which will not be item
| lied. The executive committee will i.eei
| to-day and the directors tomorrow, when
the usual dividend will probably be de.
clared.
Keene's brokers returned considerable
amount of borrowed Western Union yes
terday, and he is believed to have GOV.
cred up.

A gentleman who is on intimate relations
with the Vanderbilts says he has seen nj
