Stocks-The stock market to-day shows
general decline of 14@1X per cent, the latter
for Chicago L Northwestern preferred, as ar
effect of the bear raid, which was encouraged
by the fact that prices, after the advance last
week Of from "a per cent, which was mainly
in Vanderbilt stocks, seemed to have come to 6
stgndstill. There was then, and is yet, a con.
siderable amount of buying Of dividend-paying
stocks by investors outside of the professional
speculative Glass; but not of sufficient volume to
afford support for pyices which are governed in
their daily fluctuations by the operations OF
cliques in the street. The Erening Post says
$50 far as the general railroad and business sit
uation is concerned there is a steady improve
ment. This was shown by the increase of IL
per cent. in the October earnings of ffty-nine
reporting roais over their earnings in October,
1882, on an increase of 10 per cent. in mileage.
The improvement Of October has, as far as can
be estimated, continued ever since.'' The drop
in st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba was due to
the fact that there were orders in the market
from the west to sell shares, which became
known to some room traders, who hammered
IL Il
