the decline was stubbornly fought, and

shot upward, touching TIC before the
balance of trading was again in favor
of the sellers. Several reactions &C.

TRANSPORT4TTON ACTIVITIES.

This s period of extra ordinary activity in
the transportation business of New-York: or
perhaps II would be more accurate 10 say in
transportation circles since many Of the under
takngs which are attracting attention are still
in the stage of negotiation. But the public has
good reason To rejoice in the acquisition of IA
cilitiCs for getting about the city which only n
few yoars ago seemed improbable or remote,
and in the prospect Of still more important
benefits TO come. The installation of under
ground frolleys on the Metropolitan and Third
Avenue lines. the projected electrical equipment
Of the elevated roads, the operations OF Mr..
Flower and his co-labOrers in the Brooklyn field.
the improvement Of the Long Island system,
the proposals Of the Metropolitan managers re-
gardng underground roads in Manhattan and
The Bronx the subsequent offer Of an unknown
corporation which may prove to be satsfac-
torily backed and the traffic agreement of the
Manhattan and Third Avenue companics-all
these striking Indications Of n new spirit OF
competition and energy are heartily welcome.
Such cagerness to cultivate the opportunities
which were strangely neglected for SO many
years cannot fail to promote the comfor; and
welfare OF an immense population. even though
some present expectations are disappointed.
In several respects the new alliance OF the
Manhattan and Third Avenue companies is the
most important of recent developments 1t ap-
pears FOR ono thing TO guarantee n strong and
heaithfu competition with the Metropolitan for
patronage which the latter has OF late seemed
likely to mOnopolze. Then ii will undoubtedly
tend 10 build up the naturally attractive north
ern stretches Of the city. and by that means
as well rs otherwise serve the convenience Of
multitude of persons. II is an Agreeable
proof, furthermore, that the elevated railroad
