Wat Stree, Texspay, May 16—6 P.M. ‘Thoro was a dismal falling off in business to-day, the amount of stock cbangimg hands only aggregating 137,000 shares, The installation of tho new Stock thange officers aud the beer brewers’ show in Broad. way may have had something to do with it; but the most likely solution is to be found in the fact that the ptreet, having worked over to the bull side, finds, 1t- self lovg of stocks, which meet a reluctant market when offered forsale, The absence of those steady customers, the chronic bears, is not compensated for by the small investment demand which is slowly withdrawing some of tho better class of stocks from tbo market, and in consequence anything like a pressure to sell fails to be resisted by an equivalent de- Bue to buy, ‘The range of the thermometer bas some- toing to do with it also.

It is rather the period of the year to get out of speculation than into ath the disposition of present holders to “et Smith waik]’ \s evinced by their roadiness to transfer the load to other shoulders, Besides, inducements to ‘hold of}? are scarcely as strong as they were, The great bonefits to accrue from a foreign war (which the hopes of the community mounted as a veritable cheval de battaille) seom to be counted upon with less con- fidence; the railroads have to encounter the cutting down of canal tolls, and the coal Companies are no whit better off, as to the salo of their product than heretofore, In fact these latter corporations aro the chief drag upon the market, aud speculation would be all the better were they cut loose from it entirely. To-day thoy unquestionably bad much to do with the irregularity and depression \u prices. During the tirst hour Delaware and Hudson | tdvanced from 8814 to 4033, Delaware and Lackawanna from 44 to'45, aud Morris and Essex from 683, to 70.

It was stated that a prominent fea- ‘ure in the scheme was the suspension of production during the months of June and July. Michigan Cen- tral appoured this morning as the most mercurial of the active railroads, with the result of toppling over trom 4534 to 4134, and remaiuing thus flaticued out at the end of business. The closing of the books previous to the annual election created a shurp appetite for shares for purposes of tran! ind the demand at one shme forced a difference of 13¢ per cent between tash and regular stock. The demand for proxies is particularly eager, there appearing to be three parties in the field, Who resuit of the triangular duel will bo awaited with considorable interest voth by share- holders and speculators, The annual report of the Rock Island Company is mado public, the item of most interest being, that after paying running expenses, in- terests, ten per cent in dividends and losses upon brauch roads, there remains a surplus of $55,968 09, The decline in Michigan and Central and the coal etocks brought the rest of tho list down with them, and the warket finished up weak and at the lowest Ogures of the season, THE BALES TO-DAY, ‘The sales of active stocks to-day uggregated 137,000 sharea, which were distributed as lollows:—New York ‘entral, 12,240; Erio, 200; Lake Shore, 36,000; North- » 100; do, preierred, 1,050; Rock Island, Milwaukee and St. Paul, 700; do. preferred, 805; Pitsburg, 200; Michigan Central, 13,300; Llinuts Ventral, 800; Hannibal and St. Joseph, 200; do. pro- ferred, 200; Ohio and Mississippi, 1,500; Western Union, 7,000; Atlantic and Vucitic Telegraph, 410; Pacific Mail, 900; Delaware, Lackawanna and Wostern, 89,480; New Jersey Central, 200; Delaware aud Hud- son Canal, 9,466; Morris and Esvex, 6,356.
