FINANCTAL AND COMMERCIAL. Stocks Irregular and Speculation Heavy— Sales Only 94,000 Shares. GOLD WEAK AT 114 A Il 1-8. Money on Call Loaned at 3 and 4 Per Cent— Investment Securities Barely Steady— Government Bonds Less Firm, Tuxspay, March 21—6 P. Mt. ‘There is an old adage that ‘Enough is as good as a feast,’’ and, if the saying be true, we have been ban- quoted oa a surfeit of dulness for the last two days. No opium eater since the time of De Quincy can havo been more apathetic, somnolent and stupid than has been the stock market of yesterday and to-day. The sluggishness which obtained at yesterday’s close of business was quite as marked at the opening this morning, and, with the exception of a gleam of activity at the end, was the characteristic of the whole day’s Dusiness, A cortain firmness was observable in Western Union at the start and an inclination to advance manifested Itself, in view of a paucity of stock offered for sale; but this feeling was speedily checked when the seller ixty busmess was again had recourse to by Gould's brokers. As usual but little of this kind of stock found buyers, and only then in the case of parties who, while they accepted the short options, sold out the samo equivalent of cash stock. The effect of this transaction amounts virtually to the owners Wat. StRERT, } et Western Union procuring their stock to be carried sixty days freo of interest, while it velieves the short sellers from the ‘annoyance vf adaily borrowing and change of loans, Of course Bonsideravle discussion prevails as to what these transactions on the part of Jay Gould may properly mean. While some are of opinion that our ‘ne plus uitra’’ 1s simply desirous to got his short contracts into scomfortable shape preparatory to an extended bear tampaign, others believe that for every share thus gold on option an equivalent share is purchased for tesh. Inother words, that these sixty day sales are morcly a delusion and @ snare, and that while the market isto @ certain extent cowed by their exposi- Mon @ favorable opportunity is created for cover- ng shorts. Whichever be the fact, tho wie list’ will portray a bold array of tmchanging figures—the reflex of dull and nactive dealings. As for the rest of the list, there is Bs little to tell as there would be of the history of a periwinkle in its shell. In fact, it was just about as active as is this succulent mollusk in its native brine, Thore was a struggle upward of the whole list at the very end, which resulted in an advance of a quarter to ahalf per cent above opening prices, and the market tlosed up, apparently a good deal blown by even this slight effort, hoping, however (after # night's rest), to fecover its second wind to-morrow, There was certainly some snap to the events of the slosing half hour; but dealers shook their heads as solemnity as Lord Burleigh, and doubted as did Romeo beneath the balcony of his mistress, It might augur Something or it might not. It might point toa better slate of things, or it was simply a market hoist by a Patierson petard, ‘Vous verrons.”’ THE SALES TO DAY, transactions at the Stock Exchange aggro- gated 94,100 shares, which were divided among active stocks as fullows:—Erie, 8,500; Lake Shore, 23,500; Cleveland and Pittsburg, 100; Northwestern, 1,250; do. preferred, 300; Rock Island, 400; Pacific 29,200; St. Paul, 9,500; do, preferred, 7,700; Ohios, 4,200; Western Union, 9,700; Union Pacific, 400; Pan- fama, 100; Michigan Central, 650, OPENING, HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES, The ‘The following table shows the opening, highest and Highest, Lowest, 3% 113 143 143 2055 20 4 oO 4 3M 43 4235 64) oy Talend. nos 1losg 98 98 8 Kélweakee and St. Paul. 42) 43 426 Milwaukee and St. Paul pref. 804 80% 80 Ohio and Mississippi 205, 20% 2036 New Jersey Ceatr 107 10655 ., Lack. and Jestern.... 119% no 119% nion Pacific ox. diy. 6s 63 63 od 4 4 436 67% 0535 OTN Mlantie and Pac 18% 20 18% acific Mail 19% 21% 19% Panama. 135 135 135 CLOSING PRICES—3 P.M.
