The Hallway bond market was quiet,
with animated business in all ex
cept West Shore iirsts, NiclSle Plated
fi'tsts and Erie seconds, the total trans
actions in which amounted to about 81
per cent. of the days business.
State securities were inactive but strong.
The feature of to.day's market has been
the heavy trading in Pacific Mail, ac-
companied by a further decline in the
stock of 45s per cent on account OF the
complications growing out of the light
of the Pacific railroads and tho notice of
the Union Pacific TO the steamship COM
pany of intentions to discontinue tho
subsidy paid by the railroads to
that company. Matters were further
duplicated to-day by notice from the
| Central Pacific. This settles the ques-
| ton as TO the formally of tho notice TO
| the steamship company, and unless
there Is a readjustment Of the arrange

proposition looking to tho reduction Of
the amount 70 be received by his COM
pany would be considered. There has
been heavy selling for short account,
but 1t is believed tonight
that the insiders, including some
OF the directors who were heavy holders
of Pacific Mail stock, have also nm
loaded. Later In tho afternoon tho
stock sold down to 4014, and closed with
the last sales at 1913 and i0l2 bid. This
is decline of about IL points in the past
three days. The trading in the
stock to-day amounted 10 over
OF the total days business.
The general market opened strong, and
in tho first hour made slight gains, the
bulls being aided in their efforts TO sup.
port the market by "A disposition of the
bears to realize. With this check to the
general decline, the market became
lGut and prices remained steady,
Wter tho first hour, until

was published that Gould had written q
