8 NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1874.—TRIPLE SHEET. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL Stocks Fluctuating and Feverish. GOLD STEADY AT 1111-8 A Further Advance Expected Be- cause of Shipments. MONEY 31-2 A 4 PER CENT, Bonds Generally Firm, with Mod- erate Demand. WALL SrRest, } WEDNESDAY, Nov, 1s—6 P, M, St the opening of the stock market to-day prices assumed a lower tone, the decline ranging from 3s 0 14s percent. Later, however, more strength manufested, but without recovery to recently quoted figures. Atthe close stocks were weak, Speculators are looking around for causes on which to maintain a bull movement, but they are met by Many facts that discourage the attempt The great feature of the day was Lake Shore, of which 90,000 shares changed hands, Yet in the face of this extraordinary business it will be seen that it advanced only 's per cent on its opening price, which was 81, and at the close tumbled down to 80%. The incident tdicates both the character of the market and the difficulty with ‘which the late favorite is sustainea, The question now asked 18, whether if it should break 1t will not sympathetically affect other stocks. If 80, its mis- fortune may prove to be the beginning of a general bear movement. lt must be said, how- ever, that, for the moment, the cheaper lines of ®ecurities are commanding attention; and that they show 4 disposition to cut loose from their higber priced sisters. Northwest common, Ono and Mississippi, Sc. Paul, Union Pacific and Wa- bash iljastrace tnis fact in the dealings to-day. Controlled, however, as these shares are by cliques, and easily Influenced as they may be by near events, itis a question that the outside in- ‘Vestor must determine for himself whether auy Breculative security offered on the listis at this moment worth hoiding ‘or a large rise, or whether those who have purchased at lower figures are not Waking @ market through which to sweep their arag-net and take in profits.
