April increased 81, 1856, which was large
falling off from the preceding week. The
bears feel sure of a considerable decline in a
short time, while the Gould party advise
their friends to buy any active stock and
not wait for break. 1t is quite
evident that Gould and his following
have enlisted for bull campaign.
| The longs are said to be selling out North
western. The earning of Union Pacific
are said to be increasing, and dividend is
being talked of. Manhattan is being put
up on account of the progress lately made
in running trains by electricity. London
brokers are credited with selling stocks.
After the activity of the morning had SUBJ
sided there was a pause and a calm with
consequent uncertainty.

! strength, while the grangers were weak, the

had again been postponed, with little prospect
of reaching an adjustment. The Gould fol-
lowing is talking very confidently OF higher

fer and Cammack probably had more signifi-
canoe than appeared at the time. Late this
afternoon there was q decided break in the
Omahas accompanied by further yielding
of prices in st. Paul and Northwestern and
