a Oo 4 FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. pater. rsa The Dullest Day of the Year—The Stock Movement Spasmodic, GOLD..112 A 117-8 A 2 1- A Lively Trade in Government Bonds—Rail- road Bonds Steady—Investment Shares Firm—Money on Call 2 Per’ Cent. Watt Stnezr, } Sarurpar, June 24—6 P. M. ‘Had that eminent navigator, Mr. Gulliver, been a Mockbroker instead of a sailor man he would have re- marked upon the impossibility of eliciting any Interest trom to-day’s stock market, as he dja in respect to his friend in Laputa, who had passed oight years in a fatile attempt to extract sunveams from cucumbers. The one was quite as impracticable as the other, and the proof of it lies in the official record of transactions, which foots up about 33,000 shares, or, being equally @ivided, 31 shares to each individual momber of the board. Under such circumstances a writer, whose business itasto tell the truth about the day's business, finds this virtue as little suggestive of comment as though it Were still at the bottom of the poctic well, and meant to stay there. It ws equally difficult to treat tho matter In a menda- tious manner, for the board room was positively free from “points”? and private information of any kind, and consequently relieved from the lies which are the Stock in trade of many operators. By tacit consent the chicf bull and: bear operators have goue their ways countryward in different direc- tions—Gould and his entourage to the ‘‘sea girt shor ‘Twenty-third street to St, Louis, patriotically it is hoped, and with breasts swelling with the sentiment, “My country ’tiy of thee,” orsordidiy, with a simple eye to the advantages which the Convention will offer for trade in French pools and wugers, Thus left to itself the market was as helpless as & child in leading strings, unu the ductuations in prices proved scarcely worthy ot record, as they were com- passed within # balf per cent range. Pretty neurly the ouly exceptions to be noticed were Va New Jersey Central, which advanced from 743, to 76% to close ut 763g, and in Michigan Contral, which tose trom 48 to 49%, tobe offered at the end at 4% Kerio touched 14 and through the day kept within an eighth of that point, exbibitimg very considerable Mrength on the action of the English stockholders at the meoting in London yesterday, such uction, if it can be got into werking shape, being considered favorable to the future of the road. The departure of Mr, Jewett, “president and receiver, for Kngland to-day, was re- garded as a prestige of better things to come and helped to sustain the price. Western Union was completely dormant and did not ‘ven wince under the new reductions of the rival com- pany. Gould’s people are still ostensible borrowers of the Mock for delivery; but whether they really require it or whether the whole thing is merely a blind must be Jef to individual opinion. * The St. Paul road makes another favorable exhibit of earnings, and shares stiffened up a little at the close to the best figures of the day. Taken altogether thé session has been the dullest of Nhe seagon, sans life, sans trade, sans everything. TUE BALES TO-DAY.
