Wall Stbekt, J
Fkivax. Doc. 5?li P. M. J
It ia beginning to be appreciated by commission
brokers that the Into serious drop in stocks offoctu.
ally killed the speculative t;oo?e which had been laying
the golden egg a tor their beuetit. From having
had too much to do they arc having too little.
Onion, which a couple of weeks back were as thick
as leaves in Vailoiukroaa, are thinning off to akeletou
proportions. and there ia a goueral wail among
the commission men, who neither understand the
change nor like it. In comparison with the plethoric
times of the last month or two to-day's market waa
a dull one indeed. It was "hands off" aa regarded
the great speculators and a very gingerly Augering
as regarded the small ones. The natural consequence
ensued of an inactive market, immaterial
variations and a dearth of interest generally.
Could one examine into the viscera of bulls and
bears (as did the augurs of old), for a forecast of
the luture, it is probable that nothing moro satisfactory
could be dlscovorod than that tho evidences of
a dull and steady market for some weeks to come are
strongly developed and that there are reasonable expectations
of a highor and buoyant ono after the turn
of the year. The whole market to-day was sluggish.
Tho Northwestern report, which la certainly
very creditable, had in a great measure been discounted
and consequently failod to affect the market
price. The Erio report fell flat and the fluctuations
, in the stock, such as they were, were moro affected
by the demands of traders than by the statement
of tho company. To the uninquisitive
observer the report la a good one, but
when considered in the light of the fact that, although
the payment of interest on a large proportion
of the bonded debt 1a escaped for this yoar and
will bo for tho aoxt three years to come. It nevertheless
becomes inevitable in 1884. A glance at the report
renders It apparent that tho road will have to
increase lis earnings very coiixiuuruuiy iu ui? iukihu
to enable it to moot As fiscal charges ou the above
date. The San Francisco stocks wore lower to-Uay
and wore the weak spots iu the market. Tlio coal
Hliares were only so so. Coal is being sold from fifty
to seventy-five cents below the schedulo price:
houco we prcsumo Mr. Gowen's bid, as conveyed in
bis letter in the Hicbald of this morning, for "the
entire product of any other company at twenty-five
cents per ton below its present circular rates" has
been accepted. On second thought, however,
and in consideration of the circumstancoa
which attended a similar purchase, under the
same sort of a bluff bid, perhaps It has
not. Apropos of the coal stock, it would
appear that tho story rife yesterday that the
New Jersey Central road was applying for a vacation
ot the receivership is erroneous. It la said to apply
more correctly to tho Lehigh Wilkesbarre Company,
who aro asking to be relieved. There was no
fcararo in tho market worth commenting on. The
Philadelphia market opened lower and weak, Pennsylvania
Itailroad selling ut 50fJ, Reading at 34
and Lehigh at 37ft. With the exception of Readiug,
which ralllod to US'* (but afterward fell off), tho
whole list drugged and became lower and sluggish
at the close. C. Evans Si Co. furnish the closing
price of Pennsylvania Railroad aa at 60ft a 60 ft and
lU-udlug at 34ft a 34 !*.
Total sales ut the Board were only 183,340 shares,
against '201,787 yesterday and 319,445 ou Wednesday.

A lead I UK itralu circular says:?"The grain trade during

consumptive demand for both Kngllsh and foreign
descriptions, resulting In niaur casus in an Improvemout
of Is. per quarter. Canroes ofT coast were Bnuly hold, but
buslnass In tham was unimportant, while cargoes for future
arrival wore in more request at steady prices. At the
Liverpool and neigblwriug markets since Tuesday thura
tiavo been moderate transactions In wheal and
corn at full ratas. This market to-day was
mora numerously attended than usual, and a
pood quality of wheat was sold, chiefly for oonsuniptlon.
Fine and lower descriptions of rod American advanced
Id., as did also a majority of the parcels of California and
other similar sorts. Klour was In good request at extreme
price*. In cnrn a fair business was dene, with a slight
teudency upward in prices."

The Manohoater Huiirdinn. In Its commercial urtiels this
morning, says:?"The renewed nativity and upward movement
lu cotton has compelled nroduoars to raise <iuotatlous
a point, but the market nas not responded. There
has been some little buying In two or three departments
nt Tuesday's rates, but on the whole buslnass was vary
light. India and China merchants still hold off, and the
advanea above mentioned has Inrthor widened the gan betwoeu

OLEOMARGA1UNE.
THE BUTTER TRADE DETERMINED TO PBOSSCUTB
THE UNLAWFUL MANUFACTURE AND
BALE OF tot ARTICLE. J
A Tory large meeting of partios engaged In tbt
batter trade was bold yesterday at tho American Ex- f f
change Rooms. No. 909 Greenwich street, for tbe
purpose of taking action to snpprosa tbe sale of
oleomargarine, and to raise funds to prosecute all
AlfAitilAsa tftAlnlitxf thn aiafntA? nmhihlHnn llm
of tBo umt without branding. Mr. Washington
Wiuaor ?u elected chairman and Mr. T. Mortimer
Heavor acted aa secrotary. The ehalrmaa
stated that the sale of i-leomargarine had '
lately increased to alarming proportions. Ha
aaked for suggoationa from thoaa present.
Mr. WUlat made a motion that a committee of sevea
ba appointed to aolicit subscriptions toward a fund*
of not less than $5,000 for the proseeutlon of all par*
aons violating the law, and that each member of
butter trade should pay a pro rtila assessment. This
gave rise to a general discussion, in which Mr.
Bearer claimed that the trade should employ private
counsol to prosecute theif casos, as it vory often
happened that the District Attorney did not hare
time to go on with them until a year had elapsed. *
Mr. Hnanian expressed the opinion that the name of
every manufacturer and seller of oleomargarine '
should bo obtained and publiahed for the benefit of 1
consumers aud dairymen.
Mr. Miller remarked that there was no law againat
the manufacturing or soiling of oleomargarine, but .
he asserted, if it was properly branded as the law
required It should be, that it would be Impossible
to palm it olT on the couaumur as butter.
SMALL. MCALKn* IMIDHKII OK.
Mr. Douglas insisted that aoino persons tn tha
trade bad boeu imponlng on small retail dealers by
selling-them oleomargarine for butter, lie cited an
instance whore a retail doalor did uot And out hia
mistake until his sltcntion had born csllod to tha
almost uudistmg^ahable brand on the tub. Ho d?nounced
dealers who imposed on retailors in this
manner, and said that thuy should not be recognised
by tholr brethren in tne trade.
Mr. J. H. Ileal contended that olaoraargariuo waa
made of the worst rat of .the animal lu all stages of
decay, that it was unttt to eat sud that it was inanu- !
tactured id places whoro thosn present could no*
live for ten minutes. He claimed that ractorlos In
thla city were turniug out millions of pounds ol
tho article weekly and shipping the same to Kurope,
whero it was taking tha plaoo of dairy butter.
The motion of Mr. WiUot waa then adopted, and
the following committee was appointed to carry out
ita objeot:?John A. .Smith, James Kay, K. Manton.
J. H. Hnymour, T. M. Heaver, Louis I)odd aud A.
Vanderbojet. The meeting then adjourned. auhjaot
to tha call of tho committee.
