Wau Sraezxt, } Puay, May 19-6 P.M. ‘The Pacific Mail thunderstorm which broke over the Warket yesterday spent its force this morning, and Mumately subsided into the gentlest of breezes. flere occurred a grab at the opening, driving the Mock upward from 21 to 23, but after then only bal | ling winds prevailed, limited to the extremes of these dwo points, with almost a calm at 223¢ at the end, | The obscurity which hung around the Steamship fancy was slightly cleared up during the day but nobody but the Old Probabilities of the movement can discern what sort of weather | js ulead. There was another attempt at a Meeting of the Pacific Mail Dircetors this morn- Ing, but it fuiled, as the one of yesterday Md, for lack of a quorum, the Gould contingent yeing couspicuous by its abseuce, Of course the Jobemouches of the street at once commenced to pub ‘his and that together, and argued trom this combina- tion that it was the set purpose of the Pucific Mail “uns” to defoat the Panama ‘outs’ by refusing to take the proper stepg preliminary and necessary to the | Vection which the rules of the company call for, lt sppears that the bylaws require a certain number of nspectors to be appointed previous to the election, al- hough the books need not be closed until the day be- fore. A persistent determination to prevent a meeting | vy the failure to obtain a quorum may prevent the ap- | pointment of the necessary iuspectors and even a formal yote to closo the books and, want. | ing this, legal process may be tuken to | prevent the election bemg held at all, In. Buch event it is surmised by inany of the unfortunates who bave fallen vicums to the tricks of the Ah Sing of the street, but who now believe themselves up to his wiles, that Gould wili endeavor to force the com- pany into bankruptcy or into the hands of a receiver belore a vote of stockholders can be obtained for a new | directory. If this be the game of the Artiul Dodger {twill simply fall in with the belicf which obtains to-day that the control bas virtually passed into the ‘hands of the Panama party, and that Gould knowing the fact yesterday abandoned his untenable position, Yhrowing overboard in bis retreat some 20,000 shares | of stock ut advantageous prices, on y to take refuge | auder the cntrenchments of the law. With the stock, bolders sent to Coventry Gould and Dillon, as impor- lant creditors, by reason of the cash advances lately made, might stili retain control of the company, and with it tho life and prosperity of the Union Pacific Railroad, ‘There was another woful tumble in New Jersey Cen- | tral from 88 to 83, sold down by tumid investors and aympathizing bears. Combination or no combination, it is fated that tho | Price of coal must find its equilbrium at a lower grade of figures, aud the sooner these cormorant com- panies find out the truth of it the better for themselves And the community. Late in the afternoon thero was a falling off in the whole list without any particular rbyme or reason, though bears pretended to detect music in the air, and bulls were as blue as though they had been feeding on the famous grass ot Kentucky.

Commerce still drags, and the commercial situation at the present writing can scarcely be regarded as any improvement upon the position of business affairs a | week ago. To many minds the continued imactivity in commercial circles is utterly inexplicable, but to the thoroughgoing busiuess man tho current of events during the past few months bas occasioned little or no surprise. In the first place the country has not recov- ered from the effects of the late devastating civil war, ‘The enormous consumption of all staple products con- sequent upon the war and the inflation caused by it stimulated manufacturing aud — kindred interests to such anextent that when the govern- ment ceased to be a Consumer stocks sugmented ata very rapid rate, and im some cases the supply of goods bas for a long time largely exceeded the demand, which has steadily fallen of. Congress, meantime, has shown itself niterly incompetent to legislate intelligently | upunthe gri@t questions of ways and means—of finance, tariff and kindred questions, and so the country drifts along, ‘without let of hindrance, miraculotsly drifting clear of | breakers, though the waters have been greatly troubled. | All interest nowadays appears to centre in politics, and tt 18 hoped that « change of rulers may work # change in every department of commerce and trade. While there may be some ground for such & hope there is infinitely more in the season of tranquillity thas les beyond the Presidential election, There is no necessary connection — between politics and commerce, yet the peculation and | fraud whieh have been brought to ight withim the past your or two have undoubtedly created distrust everywhere and of | i almost everybody; and euch auiversal distrust cannot but exert @ pernicious influence and revert injuriously upon trade as well ss upon governmental affairs. Much Ii pected from the continued outtiow of broadstuffs, alth no apparent influence is thus far felt beyond the limits of the breadstuffs market® During the greeter part of the past wook the breadstuffs markets were qaiet but steady, but towards the ciose @ better inquiry has prevailed, and the sales have been larger and.at prices showing gradual ap- preciation, Cotn has been in good request snd prices have steadily favored the seller. Provisions have been irregular, and the “ups’? and “downs” of both pork and lard have been itexpiicable.
