SECOND BOARD.
MONDAY. March SPIN.


The Stock market generally was steady
today but in Reading and Edgeworth there was
break, occasioned by the failure Of Boston ope-
.rstor who was largely in those two stocks. Read
ing fell off to COL, decline Of v cent from Satur-
davis prices At the close that price was bid.
Edgeworth sold down to So at the Second Board,
and we understood it was u afterward in the
street. 1t was supposed that large quantities OF
these stocks would come upon the market. Nor
witch was firm at Ga, an improvement Of p cent.
Portsmouth was in demand at 14l, and was one
Of the next buoyant stocks. Harlem Farmers,
Morris, &C. closed at about Saturdays prices with
moderate business. w.Jersey Exploring and
Mining Co showed further improvement of "
cent, selling at 16. There is good deal of atten'
ton excited among operators by the late rise IN
this stock Governments and State stock were
in moderate demand at about previous prices
Bank stocks are heavy and declining. In Railroad
Bonds Of good character there is fair demand at
previous prices. The imprudency Of the Erie
sale, however, checks purchasers. The closing
bids were: Canton So, Farmers 662, Long Island
23l, Reading COZ, Norwich Ga, Erie 81 !, Stoning-
ton 40.

Mr.. BOorman Of the Hudson River Rail-
road has been in Albany for the last few days,
making arrangement for connecting his road
with the line of road from Albany to Buffalo
The plan adopted we understand, is to unite with
the Western Railroad in establishing a ferry
from the Dep6ts on the Eastern side of the River
10 pier opposite the foot Of Maiden.lane, from
which place a bridge will be thrown over the
Canal basin to Maiden lane. 1t is calculated that
eleven minutes will be sufficient time to take
passengers from the cars at Greenbush, TO the
cars in the Albany and Schenectady Depot. In
relation to this matter, the Al6any EceHing JoST.
nal says: To accomplish this, and have the land
ing of the two ferry boats at the end of this bridge
they will be required to purchase and excavate
four Pier lots, two above and two below the
present cut. The cost Of the lots and excavating
the same is estimated at 5000, which sum they
ask Of the city.
The Cashiership of the Bank of the Me-
tropols has been offered to Mr.. ]. NJ. Morrison,
