their slate containing predictions of prices
for the winter campaign-Western Union
to sell at 40; Missouri Pacific Mt 100; Texas
Pacific ut 90, and the NJ. X. & II. ut 75M So
Sage tells his friends on the quiet to buy
Wabash common.
The bull operators in the coal shares look
fora further advance this week, and the
managers of their companies say the coal
business was never so large and profitable
as to-day.

Goulds brokers bought all the Western
Union sold on Monday ut S7i.
Conner says Gould has bought up of the
Indians all the remaining rights of way
necessary through the Indian Territory for
the X T. Road, and on the assembling Of
Congress bill will probably be passed
opening up this great garden Of the South
west to emigration. 1t was reported last
night that Gould had recently spent $780,
600 in purchasing from the Indians the
privilege of running through their rcsorva-
ton.

make the dividend on the common for the
next payment per cent, which Will make

The Mills. Park party say it will be inn
possible for the Pacific Mail Company to
