Money on Call 11-2 and 2 Per Cent—Gov- érnment Bonds Strong—Raiiroad Bonds Firm—Deeline in Delaware, Lacka- wanna and ‘Western. Wat Srrezr, } Fripay, August 11—6 P.M. If the stock market had emanated from the land of “steady habits”? it could not have shown greater pro- priety of conduct or a disposition to tread in s more beaten path than it did to-day. With the exception of Michigan Central and the coal stocks tho list plodded long ‘'the even tenor of its way” like a tramp in a treadmill, while for activity It was as (ar above sus- Picton as Cwsar’s wife. Even those we have named were simply active by comparison, for there was et no time more than 144 percent difference between the highest and lowest figures. Delaware and Lack: wanna arose with some prominence through a repeated visit from the bear contingent, which seemed to have Aiscovered some now weak spot ‘of attack, and im- proved the occasion by at one time liberal sales, spiced vith irritating seller sixties at two pots under the tush price. ‘The malady which has attacked the coal ring seems Yo bo spreading to the rest of the family, Delaware and Hudson sickened a day or two since and ts worse to-day, les at 95 will show, aud now we have feverish symptoms manifesting themselves in Morris tnd Essex, which, as a sort of poor relation, was a fow years ago adopted into the carboniferous alliance. Sales were made at par to-day, in spite of the guarantee of Delaware and Lackawanna, tne lessees, who have apparently bound themselves to pay a higher rental than the property can earn—not an unusual state of things with either corporations or individuals jast now, Ohio and Mississippi was notably weak at one timo, due, probably, to the interlerence with freignt trains oy strikers on the road, but there was no pressure to sell, and the last price was the best of the session, In the general list there was not variation enough to pay the price of acommission—a matter of serious con- Hderation to the small gambler who finds himself fetterea witha penalty of balf per cent at the very in- ception of his venture. ‘The market at the close was a veritable rag fair—a tissue of tatters that fluttered up and down on the wale of prices as the breeze came bull or bearward. (n the afternoon many operators disappeared bayward to witness the contest between the eagle and the uni- torn fighting for the crown of the sea, and the fignt between bulls and bears for once gave way to the con- semplation of the possible slip which might occur between the “Challenge Cup” and the challenging lip.
