cent. Prime mercantile paper 5@6 per cent.

Produce exports for the week, Sc, coo.
Governments Generally strong.
Ronds-Railroad bonds irregular.
State Securities-Dull and without feature.
Stocks-The stock market to-day was dull and
declined until the last hour of business, when
the whole list advanced 8@1 per cent, Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy advanced l per cent. to
119B, and Hannibal & st. Joe advanced n per
cent. to 8415. The advance in these two stocks
is due To the prospects of the completion of
mutual running arrangement. Norfolk Il West
ern preferred was exceptionally weak and de-
clined from II to 39$Z and recovered to 394.
In the final dealings there was slight reaction
from the advance, bat on the whole it left the
market at very near the same range as at the
close last night. Some stocks were a little high
er and some a little lower, but Oh the whole the
general tone OF the market was better than las
evening. Between l and 2 today the whole
matter of the negotiations between the Western
Union and Mutual Union Telegraph companies
was settled, the lease and other papers signed
and the property of the latter turned over to the
former MIR. Carson, general manager of the
Hannibal & St. Joe, has arrived in the city to
confer with tne officials of the Chicago, Burling
ton & Quincy and Wabash, st. Louis & Pacific
in regard to the proposed lease of the Hannibal
& st. Joe.
The Evening Post says: Business in Union
Pacific is pretty large to-day, yet with but q
slight vari ation in price. The sellers were only
hrr7 &bar holfl
stock selling out. They have evidently found
somebody ready to take it. AS far as the fnan-
cial condition of the property is concerned,
there does not seem to be any reason to doubt
that its earnings for 1882 will not only pay the
usual dividends, but leave large surpl1s over
and above all interest and dividends. In regard
TO the floating deb about which there has been
great many stories, 1t may be said, if there is
any important difference In the figures given by
the government directors In their forthcoming
report from those that VIII be given n the an
nual report o. ths company TO Us stockholders,
it will be due rather TO different classification
items than anything else. As regards the hqui-
dation of the floating debt, the officers OF the
company say it will be shown TO have been prac-
tically iquidated by the sale of securities OF the
branch lines of the Union Pacific company,
without in any way increasing the funded debt
II the company.
