The gross clearings amounted to $32,963,000, the gold balances to $1,208,966 and the cur- ‘wency balances to $1,713,800. The volume of speculative business’ on the Stock ‘Exchange is rapidly increasing, and for the time being ‘the greatest excitement is in Erie, which advanced to “985¢ to-day under a demand quickened by the low price ‘@f the stock compared with all the other railway shares ‘on tho list. It 1s alternately asserted and contradicted that Mr. Drew and several other prominent operators ‘wre largety ‘‘short’? of the leading stocks, including Wow York Central and Hudson River, and that the result of the Erie pool selling out has filled them with discom- ‘Gture and involved them in heavy losses. But, however ‘Shis may be, there can be no doubt about the future course of the market uuder the large earnings of the wailways, the reforms in their management and the ‘treme abundance and cheapness of money. Wheth Wrie selts at ninety within thirty or sixty days, as the ‘treet predicts, is immaterial, but that the market Wor railway shares, government securitios and all good ‘stocks is going much bigher hardly admits of a ques- tion. There is indeed only one way for prices to go ‘under the present plethora of eapita! and im view of the existing financial aod commercial condition of the country, Judge Cardozo rendered his decision on the points relating to testimony im the case of Fisk & Belden against Messrs, Dows, Tracy and Tows of the Chicago aud Kock Island Company to-day, which will be, found elsewhere, The order of the court against Mr, Marvin for his refusal tosign the affidavit tendered him, with- out specifying any reason, stands. ‘Tbe court does not pasa directly upon the refusal of the defendant to ‘anewer certain questions, but promises in case counsel stapnot agree to make a formal decision on each ‘question, Speculators are querying among themselves cwhat would be the effect of an adverse decision of ‘the court against them declaring that they issued ‘She new stock on their own responsibility and ‘mast return its equivalent in stock to the company. It ‘would virtually make Messrs, Dows and Tracy “short” ‘of 49,000 shares of the stock, We are requested by Mr, ‘Olver Charlick to say that, although he isa director ef the Rock Island Company, he voted against the proposed extension of the road from Des Moines to Omaba, and condemns the discredit- ble transaction which is now the subject of Vitigation.
