The old doubt remains as to what course Mr. Gould ix taking in the matter—he be- ing the objective pomtof the movement—wiiie be will, like a snake, be charmed into covering by soit music, shtened the.einto by the clash of Chinese gongs, -, Stock jobbing opinion seems to be that he is turning a deat ear to the whole motif, except so far as keeping up a running accompaniment with the pool for the present, with the intention of executing a Staccato movement 1 cash stock in the near future, Whatever may be the surmisos, we have the fact that the stock snowed unmistskable strength.to-day, while the price rose from 74% to 7644, and remained at the Jaticr price im final sales. jevertbeless, for fear that the bovine appetite for more stock might be growing jaded, the pool to-day exhibited a dinner pill in the form ofa story that the directors proposed to divide among stockholders the 73,000 shares belonging to the compavy which now ie fa their coffers, It is, however, one of the characteristics of man *‘to propose,” and it is now more than hkely thatthe idea, il ever entertained, will vanish with the culmination of the stock movement. In opposition to 60 good a cause for a rise we have to notice the urther cutting down of rates to Western cities, in response to a similar action on the part of the AUantic and Vacifie Company, taken some little time back, ‘As both concerns, however, profess to merease their Teceipts by this process without adding to expense account, a persevering continuance of .the plans will not only earn money for themselves, but also the thanks of the community. As Western Union absorbed quite a third of the busi. ness the balance of transactions was spread rather gparely over the rest of the list, Lake Shore and Michi- gan Central getting the liou’s share, There is nothing new to be said about either, these stocks being apparently controled by the various cir- cumstances previously cousidered ip this column, which have had the effect of weakening Lake Snore orol strengthening Michigan Central. Since Saturday an inexplicavie chasm has opened in Illinois Cen- tral between the figures of 6214 at the close on that day and 69% tho opening price this morning. Since then its only feature bas been a further drop to 6! where it was to be found at the end, The coal stocks were all sauky in unison; they appear to have periodical turns of ague, alter the manner of Western settlers, possibly at te sight of payments which were easy to tneur, but are difficult to detray, and are consequently generally malarious and prolific of shakes,” Gold advanced yo 1063/, with latest sales at 1065;.

A report was current in the Stock Exchange this after- noon that the New Jersey Central Railrosa Company had $200,000 paper outstanding which they’ could not meet, Jt is learned upon good authority that the proposed advance of tive cents per cwt. upon eastward vowid freights over the Lake Shore and also over the Michi- gap Central road from Chicago, did not take effect to- day, a8 expected on Saturday. These companies hi not yet definitely decided exactly when they whl fur- ther advance their tariffs. The Lake Shore Company are already getting nearly all tho eastern tennaye offering, but the difficulties arising trom the snow blockade and the searcity of freight cars causes: tem- porary embarrassment. As soon as ti ese obstacles are removed there will probably be a turtber and consider- ably larger advunce in freights in each direction. ‘The New York Central and Hudson River railroads '@ said to be badly blocked up with freight, principally eastward bound, The snow causes the blockaile, and it is reported there are fully forty miles of loaded freight cars upon the switches between this city and Buffalo, The Supreme Court reverses the decision in the cases of certain land grant raliroads in Kansas and Minnesota va. the United Statcs, and decides that the government must pay for transportation. That the words 1m the act of Congress—‘‘free use of the road’’— only apply to the ‘road bed’? and not to means of transportation furnished by the company.
