Missouri Pacific was again weak, selling
down TO Oh per cent. and then rallying
some. The market certainly displayed
much firmness though efforts were made
by depressing Missouri Pacific to cause a
weak feeling if possible. There are still
many who believe that this disposed oppo-
sition by Gould is
SIMPLY A BLIND
and that it is merely a question of few
days when he will make his appearance as
one of the biggest holders of stocks, and in
full accord with the big guns of the Van
derbilt-P Pennsylvania clique. In the final
deal the tone was quite buoyant. with an
active business in all the leading shares
The buying of Northwestern was quite a
feature at the finish of the days business
NEW YORK, July 29-Government bonds
are dull, but quotations steady. State bonds
have been little more active and quotations
about steady. There was an average business
in railway bonds, the total sales being So, 49,
600, of which Erie end consols contributed
Sl,65S,OOO and West Shore lists S40s. 900, leav-
ing Sl.lO6,OOO for the rest of the list. The
Erie ends, after opening at 6l5s and declining
10 81, developed very decided strength i'm the
afternoon, advancing 10 6254 and closing at
62ss, again OFF y per cent. West Shore lists
were about steady in the forenoon and very
dull in the afternoon, closing at 49,,
gain of "a per cent. Prices are
generally higher. The stock market contin-
ues fairly active for the two leading stocks
and the fluctuations from day to day are suf-
hciently wide TO furnish a good traders
market in those stocks. There have been
few features OF interest, however, in to-day's
operations, other than that the whole list was
weak in the forenoon and decidedly strong
later in the day, the upward move
ment being led by the Vanderbilt
stocks. Considerable attention has been
given by Wall street operators TO the re-
ports that have. been coming from the
West regarding the condition of the wheat
crop along the lines of the Granger roads, but
the different statements are at such variance
with each other that little definite is known in
regard TO the matter.
