NEW Y fo) "FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, The Stock Market Unsettled--- & Speculative Declines. rseninotenanas GOLD 115 18 A 114 3.4, Government Bonds Weak—Another Call by Sceretary Bristow. WALL STREET, } WEDNESDAY, uly 14—6 P. Me The course of prices to-cay was well calculated bo encourage for the moment those who profess to sec nothing but disaster andruin in almest every form of investment. At all times tn Wall Btreet. there are certain people whose province It seems to be to tear down, rather than build up; to discourage rather than promote Improvement, Bnd to take advantage of every possible sign of | Weakness, great and small, tn order to illustrate their pecutiar theories. Now and then, as to-day, | they have an opportunity of joining in the cnorns, “I told you 80,” and they make the most of tt; but in the main thelr diagnosis of the situa- tions 1s incorrect, Itis true thatthe war was followed by an ubnatural inflation of pric and an accumulation of debt on the part of railway corporations, which ars now producing their natural results, The pantie of 1873 helped on the impending dificuities and piled up fuaucial obstacles that called for the exercise of the best intelligence to bridge over # period of general misfortune, But {% is not) reasonable to suppose that because of these ‘thiugs great enterprises are to be suadenly wiped Out and further disaster is to cover the land. In ali the history of America itis shown that when- evor the country has becn forced to take a step back ward or halt for @ breathing spell it has sub- gequentiy taken two steps forward and become | gtronger than before. And so It will prove here. after, Our reports are ali indicative of ‘ GOOD CROPS AND A PROSPECTIVE INCRRASE of exports. This will give life to trade at the proper time, It will stimulate industry in every channe!, heip the railroads, pay the debts of the producer, set at irebh work the wheels of tue | Manwiacturers and go restore us to ualoyon days. It ts needless to say, afer the foregoing remarks, that tee majority of even Wall street speculators believe tn the permanency of any aepressing | Yhovement or are doing more than adapting them- Belvee to the contingency ofthe hour? Doubtless we ehall have a comparatively dull suminer market, | Dut its prices will by m0 means indicate the | character of that brighter fature which we hope- fully foresee, We have already alluded to the | Moods in France and the deficit Im the supply market that must vave been caused by the | losses. Let not our farmers make another mis- | take, Wheat is reported to be advancing in tue | foreign market, and those who most quickly avail themselves of the opportunity may secure profit. Greediness in.speculation never pays. Au eighth | per cent has often been vhe.last feather on the | camel's back, Free shipments will add to our @trength, and both directly and indirectly our producers will reap benetit, THE PRICES 0-DAY, Nearly all securities, compared with closing prices yesterday, showed miore or less of decline. Near the close the announcement of a {atlure . Aha the consequent throwing upon the market of @ quantity of Union Pacific and Atlantic and Paci- flo Telegraph Company, for which there were no present purchasers, caused a decline in hoth i these stocks. The former receded from 137% 72%, closing at 73% a 73%. The latter from al to 18, with @ close at 18% a 19, Erie was another feaiure, going off from 14% to 13%. The’ price in ‘London was also lower to-day. Lake Shore de- clined from 5934 to 58%, ending at 6874 a 9, West- | ern Union was steady nearly all day at 79% a 89%.
