FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Incidents of the Stock Market—Prices Un- settled and Generally Lower. GOLD 114 5-8 A 114 3-8. Money 3 and 3 1-2 Per Cent—Poreign Exchange Steady—Government Bonds Steady—In- vestments Without Material Change. Wan Srauer, Tvespar, March 7—6 P, M ‘The eld nursery couplet that When the cat's away ‘The mice will play. was significant enough in to-day’s dealings, and opera- tors were right when they ascribed the tranquillity of the market to the absence of Jay Gouid, as chief teline, on a trip to Boston, So these “‘small deer” had a run of the house with- out fear of molestation, and mibbled at eighths and quarters undisturbed by the poetic notion, that The best Laid schemes o" mica and m ‘Gang aft a-gley. Our little rodents found better foraging in Lake Bhore than in any other single one of tho other fancies, As the stock offered a bounteous meal, ranging as it did from the fatness of 65 to the frugal cheese parings pf 64, Concluding sales were made, however, at 64, which quotation was near the opening one and marked a drawn battle between bull and bear. The friends and enemies of Western Union were still hanging about to-day as they were yesterday, “waiting for the verdict,” wnich from the jury of a full board they anticipate to-morrow. There was scarcely 3 per cent variation made in prices during the entire day, on account of this hesitation, though this very steadi- ness seems to point to the fact that the probability of | ghe dividend being passed has already been discounted. Tt ie now generally conceded that the usval quarterly return to stockholders will be omitted and that the money, some $700,000, will be devoted to the payment ot the company’s floating debt, which, it is said, will absorb uearlysthe whole of this sum. Relieved of this obligation, the Western Union Company will be better enabled to engage in the war to the knife which the At- tantic and Pacific Company have invited, when in the end terms of consolidation will be effected and the lion and lamb will he down together, ‘The price of Pacific Mail rotated about 21%, like the revolution of a cyclone about a storm centre, Profes- sor Gould knows the why and wherefore of one as well as did Professor Maury the cause of the other; but the first savant will see you further before he will ex- plain, and the latter died the victim of improbable theories, While speculation is confined to two or three prom- ‘nent stocks, as has been the case for many days back, the remainder of the list offers little or nothing for re- mark beyond a reforence in the column of prices, It | may simply be noted that the short interest has grown to formidable dimensions within the last ten days, as is proved by the fact that such stocks as Western Union, Lake Shore and Pacific Mail are readily loaned flat with a borrowing demand that is not readily re- sponded to. THE SALES TO-DAY amounted to about 134,000 shares, which were dis- tributed among active securities as follows:—New York Central and Hudson, 1,242; Enie, 2,200; Lake Shore, 60,700; Cleveland ana Pittsburg, 260; Northwestern, 1,150; do. preferred, 800; Rock Island, 600; Pacitic | Mail, 2¥,700; St. Paul, 3,200; do, preferred, 2,400: Ohios, 2,200; Western Union, 26,207; Wabash, 400; Union Pacific, 700; C.. ©. and I.

THR GOLD MARKET, Gold declined from 114% to 11434, closing at the lat- ter price, The rates paid for carrying were 334, 4, 2, 3, 2% and 1 per cent, The declining tendency of exchange and the sales of jong gold are suid to be the causes of the reaction, At times the market was excited, Two | bundred and fitty thousand dollars of the $500,000, no- lieed before as going forward to Havana has been tem- porarily withdrawn, It is stated officially, however, that it will be shipped by Thursday’s steamer, and that these shipments will continue until the $2,000,000 par- chased recently on Havana account has been shipped at the rate of $250,000 cach steamer, OPERATIONS OF THX GOLD EXCHANGE BANK.

No fresh developments have been made in the matter of Pacitlc Mail, save that in the suit brought by” Free- man against the Panama Railroad Company Judge Davis to-day dissolved the injunction, with $10 costs. The receipts of cotton at all the ports since Septem- ber 1 to date are 3,517,987 bales, against 3,780,000 samo time last year. The London Times money article says to-day that ‘United States securities are dull at the decline; nevertheless there is a considerable demand from Bel- gium for government securities.” The Times also adds that the revelations’of political corruption which aro taking place in the United States are producing dis- ‘The Cliicago, Rock Island and Pacifle Railroad Com- pany has notified the Stock Exchange that it will here- afier make monthly statements of earnings. The rise in Toledo, Wabash and Western Ratlroad bonds was due to news respecting foreclosure proceed- ings that the final decrees for the sale of the road for ‘the benefit of the bondholders have been obtained in all the States through which the road runs, the last one haying been obtained yesterday in Indiana At the ex- piration of the time of notice required by law the road will be sold. The Illinois Central Railroad Company have just state as follows:— Closing @ year of unusual depression in business | and ox 8 & season of partial failure of ihe crops that part of our railway which 1s orale the most productive, the directors are pleased to report w the shareholders that | the revenue from the traffic and the re- ceipts from the land office have provided for the inter- est charge and for the usual dividends upon the shares, leaving a surplus of $109,023 56 at the credit of 11 come account, which is only $57,195 23 less than the surplus at the close of last year. The net traitic of the line was $2,670.081 92, and the income pegs land, $223,297 42, The business suifered trom the pressare of competition by lines adjacent to our own, that have, during these evil tmes, been obliged to suspend interest payments upon their debts. The directors expect less interference trom this source the present year, We have, besides, to report an exceptional harvest of corn, more abundant than any for several years. This will, of course, increase our treigh} traffic. On the Ist of April last, $2,671,000 Construction bonds, which matured, were paid and cancelled, leaving $64,000 not eae at the close of the year, which prevents t! absolute cancellation of the mortgage. Five hundred and twenty thousand unds sterling of redemption bonds were paid on the the of April, and a new loan for £500,000 at six per cent was issued in their stead. Several large cians ‘eet the company of many years’ standing bav liquidated, jvaving us at the present moment free iain any except such as arise from actual current business, Steel rails have declined to about halt the prices paid three years since. We have 12,000 tons ed nde my at the present low rates, and have ordered 600 freight cars to be in abe ss mye on the Ist of May, and shall, if the traffic develops as the managers of the line.antici- pate, increase this nomber, To meet these outiays £200,000 ben five per cent bonds have been sold at The annual meeting of shareholders will take place on the last Wedngsday in May, at Chicago.
