There was another reaction today in Stocks
and, indeed, two-one downward and the other
upward At the opening, there was combined
attempt by the Bears to depress the Fancies, and
they succeeded in getting down Farmers l.
cent and Canton p = cent, but when Erie came
up, and the same game was attempted 1t being
offered at o., decline of z cent, there were
orders enough in the Board to carry it to 81 mme'
distely and the downward tendency OF the mar
ket was checked After the Board, there was
continuance of the better feeling, and Farmers
improved J y cent and Canton T. cent, with
good demand. At the Second Board there was
quite buoyant feeling, and all the Fancies I'M
proved. The prime pal activity was in Reading
which improved to 72l, an advance OF p cent
from Fridays Second Board, under sales OF 1000
shares Erie was also active and buOyant, clos
ing at 92I, buyer thirty days. There is enough OF
this Stock lent to the Shorts to put it to par at
once, if called in. Rochester and Syracuse was
firm at ll9, with but little offering at that price

could not be executed, although LOG was bid, an
Improvement of y cent For Indiana and Hi
nois State Stocks there was fair demand at pre-.
viOu. prices. stonington was steady at 521. The
business on this Road is favorable, ~..A ar
rapgements are in progress in relation to the debt
the payment Of which now consumes portion OF
| the earnings. The heavy SHOWS OF the last OF
December and the first Of January have, how
ever, embarrassed the operations OF all the North
erp and Eastern roads, and the receipts will be
measurably affected thereby. For New-York and
New Haven there was firm market. The traffic
of December shows a very Aattering result for the
stockholders, who owe SO much to the able man
aeement of Mr. President Schuyler and his as
sistants The receipts for December were

This is very large, especially when it is consider
ed that the freight arrangements are as yet quite
incomplete and the accommodations for doing
that business not sufficient. Harlem was better

at I a. cent decline the prices of the previous
| day. The receipts for December were S4O,545
50 and for the year ending 3lst Dec s496,469 ~,
