SECOND BOARD
TUESDAY, Jan. JPN.

The Stock market to-day has re acted to some
extent, very natural pause after so much ex'
element At the First Board most of the fancy
Stocks were lower, and at the Second Board
further decline was experienced; but at the close
prices stiffened again and left off rather firm
Morris Canal closed lower Reading {, Stoning-
ton / /, Harlem / /, Erie l. Canton Co. l, Far
mers' Trust %, than the closing sales Of yester-
day. This is owing to the sales made by parties
who are reasiDg, as well as to the efforts of the
shorts to depress prices. Government Stocks
were wanted at full prices. Indiana State IS
were wanted and sold at s3., whichis an advance
Of J. 40 was bid for Indiana Canal Preferred

The Dry Goods trade presents little activity at
present. butsthe stocks are very firmly held, and
prices of both Wooden and Cotton fabrics are
Strengthening. The continued high rates of for.
eign Exchange, which do not seem likely materi-
ally to decline, have powerful effect of checking
importations and this, in addition to the rise in
all the raw materia of European manufacture,
and our ad valorem import duty rising with the
increase of cost, will prevent heavy importations
this Spring. Both Bleached and Unbeached
| Shirtings and Sheetngs have been inactive, but
! prices are steady and holders even anticipate an
advance. Drills have been in but small request
but are firm. Osnaburgs, with a very reduced
stock, have advanced, but are above the limits Of
buyers, who consequently resort TO Scotch goods
DENNIS show slight increase of demand for the
lower vualities and are steady in price, Stripes
are quiet. Ticks are firm, with light inquiry
Printing Cloths are steady bat without activity.
The stock is firmly held and there is a tendency
in prices to advance. Prints are quiet, but the
new supplies are now opening and higher prices
are asking which buyers must consent to should
the Remand prove active. Clothiers have been
buying Chambrays more freely at steady prices.
Ginghsms are quiet without change, but antici.
patory of large demand early in tie Spring
prices are buoyant. Lawns have been in more
active demand and have sold to some extent both
of foreign and domestic manufacture. Supplies
are coming forward and considerable activity is
predicated in this article for the latter part Of the
month. Cotton Pantaloonery are in light demand
at firm and strengthening prices. Stocks
| light. Muslin de LANES are freely coming into
market and large business is expected in
week or two. Prices will open at an advance.
Cloths have strengthened materially in price,
with lessened stock and fair demand for the
season The tendency is strongly upward. Sat
/ inets have advanced and the demand has been
much more active. The increased cost and dimin
ished stock insure a further advance. New styles
of fancy Cassimeres are coming forward and a
demand has arisen at full prices Plain styles
and blacks are frm with small, steady demand.
| Tweeds have been in request, with sales to ar
rive at very full prices. Jeans are doing better
in demand and in price, but further advance is
| required to insure good supply. Flannels are
in light demand at high and steady prices The
stock OF foreign goods is beginning to decrease.
The demand has been fair, as the expectation
higher prices has induced many early purchases
| for the Southern trade. This week has already
brought some British vessels into port and others
are due, laden with early imports, which will soon
be on the market, but the amount is unmportant
| This is the time, however at which we may ex-
| pect our imports to increase. French goods con-
tinue to arrive freely by each Havre packet ship
as well as by the Liverpool steamers. The goods
are mostly to special order on native account
Prices of Woolens, Silks and Cottons will ineyi
tally advance in the coming months. The in.
creased cost combined with our increased and
increasing ability to pay higher prices insuring
an effective demand, render this certain.
! The Bank of the Republic has been organized
in this City with capital of 100000. 6. B.
Lamon, Esq has been elected President and Hen.
ny T. Vail appointed Cashier The location Of the
new institution is not determined.
