Delaware & Hudson lost a point in the
early decline, but the general range
of depression was about Is. The second
time down, however, carried figures lower
than first, showing heavy feeling among
operators. The Vanderbilts were
NOTABLY WEAK,
Lake Shore touching SO, and New York
Central S91s during the forenoon. Pacific
Mail, on the other hand, was strong, as the
books close to-day for the payment of the
last dividend. After this, it is thought that
Gould will show his hand in that stock, and
lower prices are predicted for it, To-day
Gould and his followers were working hard
to get up boom, but the load was too
heavy to lift easily. A st. Paul director
says that Rock Island parties are
responsible for all the disturb
ance in Northwestern affairs, and it
appears to be certain that the different
granger magnates are at loggerheads with
each other. 1t is now announced as settled
that the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy is
to build new line of road to st. Paul, via
FreepOrt. The Northwestern to-day cut
Montana freight rates to soc, and the stock
sold down to 94s4. The bear party in gran
gers is large, and they are in for big turn
dOwnwardS, that it was thought that moth
ing but war news would

against them. Gould and his party are as
confident as ever and say prices are going
up, war or no war; but Kammack,
on the other side, says the declara-
ton of war would bring ON a
panic in American stocks The Wander

Union Pacific is held so firmly by the Gould
interest that it is being left alone.
The Changers were up to about best
figures of the day at the finish. The clos
ing quotation on Pacific Mail is, ex-divi-
dend, II per cent. The market closed

changed. The railway bond market was more
active to-day and prices show more violent
fluctuations, but the closing prices this even
ing are higher in most cases. The total sales
were !, ISL, 900 shares, an increase of PIT 900.
The stock market has been very dull and
very irregular to-day. Opening prices showed
ures of last evening, but a decline
set in almost Immediately thereafter and most
stocks continued weak until early in the
afternoon. An upward movement in Gran
gers which began about O. clock was followed
by general Improvement in the whole list,
and the market continued strong but dull to
the close, which was at or near the best prices
of the day for the Gould stocks and the
Changers, but considerable lower for the
Vanderbilts and the coal stocks. In most
cases prices this evening are fractionally
higher than they closed yesterday, while
three or four stocks gained between
l and per cent. The market gives abundant
evidence of being remarkably well supported,
and leading bear operators talk very conf
IDENTITY of much lower prices in the near fu-
ture. The total sales were only $4,000
shares, decline from yesterday OF 81, 700
shares, and rs per cent. of to-day's business
consisted of transactions in st, Paul, Union
York Central and Lake Shore. The Changers
were prominent for their weaknessin
the forenoon and for the remarkable
strength displayed in the afternoon
rally. st. Paul closed at net
gain of % per cent, Northwestern of q per
cent, Pacific Mail of Is per cent. 1t is gem
orally understood that the Pacific railroads
have both consented to the extension of the
subsidy to the Pacific Mail to June l. a few
stocks did not fall below the opening quota
lions, notably Missouri Pacific which closed
136 higher. Manitoba closed with an advance
of l Il, Omaha common is up n and preferred
per cent, Missouri, Kansas 81 Texas shows
a net gain of Is per cent, and Rock Island Il
per cent
THE NAIL AND EXPRESS SAYS:
There was little more activity in mining
shares to-day. At the call there was some
attempt at trading and the result was the
acceptance of offers by both sides, the results
being called sales. Insiders claimed that the
washing process had been resorted to with a
view of breaking the monotony. Horn silver
bounded to the front during these proceed
ings. Other shares alleged to have changed
hands were Sierra Nevada, Yellow Jacket
Hale and Norcross, Alta, Stormont, Alice,
California and Virginia
