Cotton was points Off
Affairs on the stock exchange during
the week were rather quiet, and, taking
all together, events were not OF special
interest. There was weak tone
TO the share speculation at first,
and the market dropped of to
81 per cent, under the leadership Of
Louisville & Nashville, Pacific Mail, and
the coal stocks, all OF which were sold
with considerable freedom. Various un-
favorable rnmors were set anoat 10 ac-
celerate the decline, but later on these
lost their effect, and there was good buy
Ing for nearly the entire list for the long
account, which, in connection with the
covering Of shorts, led TO an improve
ment Of ! 10 ! per cent, though the
Trunk lines and the coal situation, as
well as the proposed extension of the
Milwaukee & st. Paul system, attracted
much attention, and the rumors pro and
con in regard thereto excited more or
less influence upon the course Of prices.
Railway mortgages displayed strength
throughout and good inquiry prevailed,
especially for the junior Issue The great
ease IN the money market and tho low
rate of interest are causing the investment
Of considerable amounts Of capital In this
class OF securities.
Governments were firm and fractional
~ higher, Notwithstanding the silver agi-
tation. The foreign exchanges are harden
Ing somewhat aud the differences between
long and short sterling were narrowed
down to 2 cents. After money declined
in the open market at London to cents
on Friday, $500, 0G0 In gold was engaged
for shipment by to-day's steamer. The
local money market continued as easy as
ever, and call loans were done at ! to "a
per cent.
