nearly oil free sellers for fall, aud the downward ten
dency of prices is by them well As by some leading

nent. Erie closed at 81, decliIe Of per cent The

after the Second Board, Reading fell off to 95, de-
cline of per cent Cleveland and Toledo sold TO the
extent of 900 shares closing at sji, further fau
of per cent and Of about per cent since the con-
Increment of the onslaught. Central vas offered
freely and cold as low as &c. but recovered to 99l
decline of per cent, mainly in consequence of the
transfer difficulties noticed below. Nor sich improved
per cent. The business of August has been good,
and will probably show considerable gain on August
fast year. Hudson River fell of TO 4Ol The West

The most favorable feature of the street is the heavi
ness of Steriug Exchange for which the demand for
tbs steamer has been very limited with moderate
supply of outside bills. The range is q 1lo cent,
but the sales show decline of to cent since the
last steamer. Francs are firm and in fair demand az

The calling in of loans by the banks conts ues to
some extent, but the supply OF money appears to be
ample from other sources, and the only result thus
far has been to advance the rate OF interest about e
cent although this is not universal. To-day the
Money market is easier than il yesterday or Sat-
urdsy. The banks have to day probably not over
sos, sec, 900 OF loane.
There wae discussion in the Board to-day in regard
to the new transfer rules adopted by the Central Rail-
road Company. Some antiquarian member disin-
humed resolution from the records OF the Bo ard that
the members would not deal in any stock to the free
transfer Of which there were any embaTassments.

was appointed to consult with the resident Directors
Of the road and II the restrictions upon transfers which
are to 20 into operation on the lst Sept cannot he

p acre for 20 and leo acre Warrants, and l0s0lloc.
for 40 acre Warrants, which la tier comparatively
plenty.
The reply OF Mr.. Edmonds to the charges brought
against him by the Mechanics Bank has bsen the
current topic Of conversation in the street to-day and
il is almost universally considered as complete refu-
tation of those charges. Some leading bank officers
express the opinion that Mr.. Edmonds has been very
badly treated Most of the charges are looked upon as
very frivolous and some Of them simply outrageous
II is understood that Mr. Knapp will reply and will
deny all knowledge Of the disbursements from that
Cbashier's drawer" Mr.. Edmonds, we understand
has not vet exhausted all his Ammunition but like
skiul combaant, has yet some powder left for re-
oinder TO the reply Of the Bank. Mr. Burke is gen.
orally looked upon ss extDguished. His forgying
kipdpess, however, in asking Mr. Edmonds to vote
for him for Cashier has excited intense admiration
II is considered specimen Of brass worthy OF per-
petua preservation.
