Governments firm. Railway bonds steady. The
dealings at the stock exchange to-day were at.
tended with less excitement. At the opening Of
business II was evident that supporting orders
were IN the market, although the bears made
great efforts 70 break prices by hammering West.
ern Union, This stock was forced down ~ per
cent. 70 7215, but the other shares broke away
from Western Union and rose rapidly to as per
cent. The improvement extended TO the entire
list and was materially assisted by the announce
ment that committee of the telegraph strikers
had requested work from Gen. Eckert. The spec
ulation continued strong until 1850, when there
was disposition 10 realize profits and prices fell
OF slightly. During the afternoon the failure Of
+, G. stedman was made public but as the liabili-
ties are small and the losses chiefly confined to
customers the suspension had but little effect. The
failure Was due more TO the dishonesty of one OF
the clerks Of the firm than TO stock operations.
Later on western Union was again attacked and
declined % per cent The Willard stocks were
also weak, In the final sales however, there was
a sharp rally aud the market leht OFF very firm.
