western, Pacific Mail, and Western Union
were the most firmly held. Pacific Mail old
down early to 511s, but gained point be-

right away. AT first Lackawanna and North-
western were in the lead, but Pacific Mail
went to the front later in the session, as It
was reported that Gould was buying the
stock. Deacon White is as bullish as ever,
and talks as confidently of higher prices as
though he saw them already before him, but
it was wired from Wall street that there was
very little outside dealing of any kind and
room traders were having things their own

Insiders denied the report that any steps
have been taken to settle differences be-
tween it and the Pacific roads, although
others declare that meeting for this pur-
pose is to be held this week. The latter part
of the session was exceedingly dull, many
stocks not changing fraction from one
hour to the other. The bears on Lake Shore
still talk confidently of further freak on it
and have managed to do considerable dam
age so far. The quotation on Rock Island
to-day is ex-dividend of IL per cent.
In the final dealings the market looked de-
cidedly bad, weak spots cropped out all along
the line, and about the lowest figures were
reached as the exchange closed.
