FINANCIAL AND CONNER GAL


FRIDAY, Dec. 29--6 4. N.
There Vas very active market at the frs.
board this morning, and pretty general improve
ment was realized All the leading railroad fsnces
were IN demand at the advance, and the traasac-
tons were unusually large. Nearly four houssad
shares OF Erie Railroad stock we're sold. New ,rk
Central, Reading Cumberland, Canton and Mica
rsgua Transit we're operated in TO some extent, on
time, buyers option, and At the close there were
strong indications Of further rise. At ths frs.
board Virginis's 6s went up per cent; Erie In.
come Bondr, IL; Erie Convertible, 1871, 1; Panama
Bonds, /; Illinois Central, B; New York Central
Bonds, 1; Canton Company, 4; New York Central
Railroad, Il Harlem, !; Erie Railroad, 81;
Reading Railroad, /; Illinois Central Railroad
!. Since yesterday morning Erie Iacome
Bonds have advanced 81 per cent, bat the sales
have been so limited at the advance that we are
disposed to look upon 1t with suspicion. The pro-
liability Is that large amount could not be sold for
any thing like quotations. II is the general i'm
preston that the Erie loan will be taken, that
the Income bonds will be converted, leaving but
small amount to be paid in cash, or to be appro-
prated to the liquidation of other liabilities. The
Hudson River Railroad Company negotiated its loan
at seventyfve per cent, and received in exchange
its own certificates, upon which they had raised
money at the rate Of two per cent per month. We
understand that the Illinois Central Railroad Com
pany will soon be IN the market for loan Of three
million Of dollars, upon the security Of its reserved
lands, amounting to two hundred and fifty thousand
acres The object of this loan is to raise the means
to meet the payments of interest.
After the adjournment Of the board the following
sales of bonds and stocks were made at auction:-

As a matter of interest to some of your nu-

which has been decided to come off on Thursday
the 18th instant, in the vicinity Of the Pequot
House, at the mouth of this harbor. A purse
of one hundred and fifty dollars has been made
up by few of the guests of the Pequot, and
the order Of arrangements will be as follows
A prize Of one hundred dollars will be given
to the boat coming in first.
prize Of fifty dollars to the boat coming in
second in the race.
The name, length in feet and inches, and sig
nal Of each boat designing to enter, must be
deposited with the Regatta Committee Oh or
before Wednesday, August l6.
A proper allowance of time for difference OF
size viii, bc rnado.
Every boat contending for the purses WIN pc
required to pay in an entrance fee of two
dollars.
The same to be free to all open boats.
The mouth of this harbor and the contiguous
waters of Long Island Sound, and the race,
afford rare facilities to the lovers Of boat
racing, and shall be surprised il large num-
Der of boats are not seen here on the day fixed
for he regatta.
The season is becoming delightful. The large
plumber Of guests at the PequOt House renders
The associations peculiarly agreeable. Mather,
