Wawr Strezr, } Sarurpay, Jan, 13-6 P, ML The bull party commenced the day with quitea spirited battue, in which point purveyors were em: jePloyed to beat up the covorts of Western Union, Lake Shore and Michigén Central, in which it was conceded the game lay thickest. Up to mid-day good bags bad been made and satis. factory profits brought down, as thoso strong winged birds of speculation rose and responded to the aim of skilful operators, Later on, when the shorts bad been pretty well killed off, the sport grew slimmer, the retrieving of gains smaller, the market at the end being loft to the Snap shooting of pot hunting scalpers. while the big wigs ot the day retired ‘‘dog to heol,’’ well satisfied with the morning’s results. Plainly Western Union advanced to 75%, Lake Shore to 554 and Michigan Central to 49 under the well sustained efforts of tho bulls, which, as usuul,’ aided and abetied by tho struggle of the shorts in the vigorous endeavor to save proiits or stop losses. ‘These having been accomplished with more or less success it followed that the market wag exhausted of customers, and prices gave way accordingly, a barely steady list taking the place of the moroing’s feverish excitement, Ot course the whole movement, being ono of those periodical squalls which are made to blow briskly for a time and clearup when the sborts are cleaned out, was a8 artificial as Palais Royal briiliants, and only littered like them Decause of comparison with thé lack lustre markets of preceding daye, For tho first occasion since that ro- mote period of time ‘whereof the memory of man Tunneth not to the contrary”? Michigan Contral has to. day appeared a greater favorite than Lake Shore and beating it by some 3,000 sharcs In the amount of transactions, Tho acrobatic party of Exchange coart, who tumble in and out of stocks fur gains of nimble quarters and halves, were conspicuous buyers to-day, as it suited their books to be, and are quite as likely to be quiet sellers to-morrow, when profits have been achieved, The operation so far has been remarkably free from points, to their credit be it said, and the gobe-mouches of the Board room were put to it to gather reasons for the rise other than the old ones of better roports of the company’s financial condition and the favorable possibilities of a disontangloment trom em- barraasing leases, . Ihnojs Central and Central and Hudson partook of the good cheer of the general market, and stiffened up trom 61 to 624g and 102 to 102%{, respectively. ‘Tho unusually large amount of 5,500 shares pus down in the official list as sales of tho Vanderbil: property is only apparently real, since two-thirds of 1t were in the shape of sixty-day turns at one per cent difference be- tween cash and regular, effected by Mr. Goula’s brokers, and probably for account of his old outstand- ing short line. There were no changes of significauce either in the coal stocks or in the rest of tho list, and the day closed with lower prices and a fairly steady market, ‘THK SALES TO-DAY.
