Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1885-12-10

unusually early hour this morning. There
was anxiety everywhere to know what the
market would do at the opening, but
confidence was observable in nearly every
instance where opinions were expressed,
and the London quotations, which were
here half an hour before the opening Of
the New York Stock Exchange. were ress.
suripy on the Board. A dense crowd Of
brokers stood in the Lake Shore corner
awaiting the fall Of the Chsirman's gavel.
When it came 10 was followed by q wild ex-
element for q few minutes. and o struggle
between those who had orders to close out
their account at the opening and others
who were there to support the market or
buy upon the assumption that the opening
figures would be the lowest. In other
parts of the room the crowd was less push
ing and the excitement no greater than
is often witnessed at the opening
OF the Board. The opening quotation
for Lake Shore was S85, but the next sale
reported was SS5 Il, and the next at S85@.
The dealings were in large lots OF 500 to
1000 shares, aud for q short time different
prices were ruling at the same time. The
opening figure for Lake Shore marked q de-.
cline Of So from last evenings closing fig.
ures. New York Central was off S2ss and
Jersey Central S2k. The rest of the list
showed declines ranging from $1A to SIX.
The excitement in Lake Shore oon SUBJ
sided, and the whole market advanced
from so cents TO S1k. The gains were
mostly lost later in the hour, and at ii
O'Clock the market was active and rather
heavy at figures generally little above the
opening. The market was very active,
with the heaviest trading in Lake Shore.
