The Vanderbilt pariy endeavored to rally the stock after the defection of tne Boston mem- bers of the cliqne, and by threats of locking up the shares frightened a good many of the “bears’’ into covering, the price recovering to 9834, exactly the highest point touched the previous day, when the tiique movement seemed on the verge of a tri- umphant culmination, Tae same wide differences between “cash” and “regular’’ stock again pre- yatled, the cash stock being worth all the way from 1-82 to 14*per cent for use in this afternoon's deliv- eries, while @ difference of 2 per cent was made in one insance hetween ‘seller five” NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, and “regular.” A discount of two per cent seemed a regular concession in “seller Sixty” transactions throughout the day’s business. ‘The inference from all of which 1s that the allies of the Clark party took aavantage of the ambitious Plaus of those gentiemen to sell thetr stock, but ‘With the privilege reserved of delivering it at a future time, when the immediate objects of the com- Dination shall have been ac>omplisned—a proceed- ing placing their defection in a more honorable light.
