Juf.sday. March 21?A P. M |
There li an old ada^e that "Enough ia aa good aa a !
least," and, if the Baying be irue, we have been banquoted
on a surtoit of Uulness lor the last two dajra
No opium eater sitico the time of De Quincy can hare I
been more apathetic, somnolent and stnpld than has I
been the stock market ot yesterday and to-day.
The sluggishness which obtained at yesterday's close
of business was quite as marked at tho opening this
morning, and, with the exception of a gleam of activity
at the end, was the characteristic of the whole day's
business.
A certain llrranass was observable in Wostorn Union
at the start and an inclination to advance manifested
Itself, in view of a paucity of stock otfored tor sale; hut
this feeling was speedily checked when the seller
lixty business was ngaia had recourse to by Gould's
brokers. As usual but little of this kind of stock
found buyers, and only then In the coso of parties
who, while they accepted tho short options, sold out
the fcarno equivalent ol casn sioca. ion sunn ui
this transaction amounts virtually to the owners
ot Western Union procuring tholr stock to
he carried sixty days Ireo of Interest, while it
eolleves the short sellors from tho -annoyance
?f a daily borrowing and chango of loans. Of course
Bonsidcrable discussion prevails as to what these
transactions on the part of Jay Gould may properly
mean. While some aro of opinion that our "ne plus
ultra" is simply desirous to get hie short contracts into
t comfortable shape preparatory to an extended boar
eampaign, others beltevo that for every share thus
old on option an equivalent share Is purchased for
cash. In other words, that these sixty day sales are
merely a delusion and a snare, and that while the
market Is to a certain extent cowed by thoir exposition
a favorable opportunity Is created for coverxig
shorts. Whichever bo the fact, tho
mlo list will portray a bold array of
tnchangiug figures?tho reflex of dull and
xiuetlve dealings. As for tho rest of the list, there Is
is little to tell as there would bo of the history of a
periwinkle In its shell. In fact, It was just about as
active as Is this succulent mollusk In its native brine.
Thore was a struggle upward of the whole list at the
very end, which resulted in an advauce of n quarter to
a half per cent above opening prices, and the market
sloscd up, apparently a good deal blown by even this
iligbt ellort, hoping, however (after night's rest), to
ocover Its second wind to-morrow.
There was certainly some snap to tho ovents of the
losing hall hour; but dealers shook their heads as
solemnly as Lord Burleigh, and doubled as did Komoo
beneath the balcony of bis mistress. It might augur
Something or it might not. It might point to a better
late of things, or it was simply a market hoist by a
Patterson petard. "A'otu rerr.mr."
