As to the latter, it was reported that the old and the new pools bad joined bands and would put up the prico to 12. Tilden is suid to be bulling Union Pacitic.

At the close prices weakened, as bas become usual on Saturday, on account of sales to realize protits. Reports were in circulation that responsible parties had offered to lease the Western Union, and pay $6,000,000 per annum for it. ‘is would yield over 7 per cent ou the capitaliza- tion of $89,000,002. Something like this will very fikely be done some day with Western Union. When the Mutual Union has become a powerful and tlourishing company, and both concerns are paying heavy dividends, Jay Gould will lease them both to sume tcle- graphic Manhattan company. lvis intimated that there is a short interest of from 30,0vv to 40,000 shares in Jersey Central, and apool has been formed, io which Mr. G.

The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Railway Company has notitied the Stock Ex- cbange of an intended issue of coinmon and pre- ferred stock and bonds, in uccordance with tho terms of consolidation. This new issue of se- curities is to lay the eutire road with steel rails, purebase additional equipment, erect new depots and muchine-sho; and to place the Compuny in a position to trans- act the prospective large — inerease In its business, An amount of bonds sufticient to meet all the expenditures to be made wis yea bas already been taken, and the stock, itis understood, will puss into the treasury to await future action. With the timber trate at one etd and the wheat tratlic at the other end of the line it is possible that the development of the property may be such that the stock not ex- changed forconnecting roaas will not besold, bus. remain us an asset subject to the future will of the shareholders. The present issue makes the total bonded debt about $16,000 per mile, and the common stock an equal amougt. As an illustration of the competition among in- vestors, the Sun mentions that at auction Thu rs- day Brooklyn City 6s, due in 1024, brought 1304 and interest, and Brooklyn 73, due in 1M, 13814 and {uterest.

There was nlso understood to be an urgent skipping de- mand for wheat, and parties supposed to hold it were visited with oilers to buy off tha market.

Broum-corn is active at our published rates. Egys were plenty at ly@lic. Building materials remain firm, with an active trade re- ported. The seed market was dull throughout the day, prices bemg nominal and the olfferiugs very smail. Arather Iarge business was transacted in trelyhts Saturday, but the agents were averse to sayinzanything about it. One steamer was re- ported taken to carry 30,000 bu wheat to Buffalo ‘ate and a schooner for 20,00) bu corn to Sarnia on the basis of 414¢ to Butfato. lt ts believed tbat room was taken for about 500,000 bu wheat altogether, partly by rail. ‘The three. propellers ebartered Friduy to carry outs to Butlalo will take out 330,00 bu, instend of 180,000 bu, as stunted. a In reference to our Saturday's remarks about the quantity of wheat remaining in_ first hands, a loading operator comments «is follows: “There ig undoubtedly a great deal of wheat yet on cha farm, but it is yot in stalk, and cannot be for- warded till after the spring work of the farin is over, which this year will be later than usual. The wheat that was sent earlier than this date to country stations has about all been taken up by local millers, so that thore is none of that to fall back upon, -Avout all the wheat available this month is in storo In Chicago and Milwaukeu, and it {gall wanted at tho East ahd in Europe. Very little of it will get across the occan, and not any too muck to the seaboard, for it will drop out in dribiets all the way thither, 1 ex- pect there will bea real pri re for wheat be- fore long, though I equally expoct to see tho murket weaken under large offerings x few weeks henco after the farmers have had time to thrash out what thoy have on hand,” Hathor large quantities of grain are actually spoiling ou track in this city because of the rail- roud gtrike. Grain thatis damp, as a zreat deal of itnecossarily is after such weather as we have had thus far, must be bandied und used soon after being massed, or it gets out of condition. Several cases have occurred where corn that inspected rejected a few days ago, and left on truck for want of switebing, proved to be no better tin no grade when uo- Joaded. People are asking who is to pny for this deterioration in quality aud consequent reduc- tion in priec, amonuting in some eitses to fully $100 per car-load. It scems very hard that. tho country shipper should stand the loss, What will the Commissioners do about it? NK. Fairbank & Co. give the stocks of lard In tho United States April 30, including refiners’ Stores, at 173,822 tes, of which 87,500 were in Chi- cago, 44,116 In New York, 3,00) in Cincinnati, 10,- 3uJ in St. Louls, 11,619 in Milwaukee, and 3,509 in Baltimore.
