CLOSING PRICES OF CALIFORNIA STOCKS
san FRANCISCO. March %, 1888.
NARROWER FLUCTUATIONS IN PRICES.


The speculation in stocks showed an evident
inclination to await positive action about the
Missouri Pacific dividend. and consequently the
transactions were smaller and the fluctuations in
p-ices narrower The stock market. in fact,
presented the amazing spectacle Of hanging on the
decision OF the president and principal owner OF
the Missouri Pacific kalrOad In regard 10 the rate
OF the next dividend. There is no pretence that
the earnings have not been fairly satisfactory,
but the active extension Of the system In the
past year has left the treasury bare of money and
filed with branch line securities which are at the
moment unavailable. Wall Street wants TO know
VINO will advance money for the dividend, and
in the absence Of instant reply, refuses TO enter
upon new ENGAGEMENTS No better proof OF the
apathy Of speculation could be desired. In the
multiplicity OF securities listed at the Stock
Exchange it would seem to be absurd that one
stock should be able TO check demand for either
speculation or investment 1t would not be an
unfair comparison TO imagine the l,lOO members
of the Exchange suspending business because one
Of them doubtful whether he could pay his
tailor's bill on demand
The course Of prices was not specially inter-
esting to-day The opening was Irregular at
generally slight advances, In consequence OF the
apparent strength of the foreign markets. There
was no eager demand from Europe, however,
but after small declines prices became strong and
at the recovery trading became light. Another
attack and another rally completed the days record.
Missouri Pacific fuctuated within range OF z
per cent and closed IA lower Reading was the
only other stock whUse final loss reached | per
cent and it was also exceptional in another re-
spect in closing at its lowest point. The average
decline was not more than l-2 per cent and a
few shares closed slightly higher; The largest
business was in St. Paul. although Reading, West
ern Union, Missouri Pacific, Union Pacific and
Ncw-England were comparatively active. There
was no news to affect the movement Of prices.
The closing was steady at IA t. 3-8 per cent
above the lowest figures.
WHAT WAS DONE IN BONDS.
Government bonds were dull, but bids for the
currency issues were raised small fractions, and
the tone OF the whole market was strong. Fol-
lowing ore the closing quotations.
