SATURDAY. Sent.

SATURDAY, Sept 22-P. NJ.
There vas fair amount of business done at the
Stock Board to-day. Erie continues to be the promi
nent object of speculation. The market was heavy in
the morning, and Erie fell off to $50. Between the
Boards however, considerable amount of orders ap-
peared in market, and Erie advanced to 56,. At the
| Second Board the market was steady with some
activity. The sales of Erie during the day were some
5000 shares, closing at SCI, advance of per cent
from Friday price. The bull party in this stock ap
pears to be very strong, taking freely all the stock
offered The receipts thus Ear in September
$40 900 ahead of the time last year. There
more doing in Central. After the Second Board
about 900 shares sold at 80, seller 60 and 30, 49,.
regular and 99l buyers sixty. Reading dropped, and
left off at per cent decline. The Western
shares generally were firm. Michigan Central was
e9l; Michigan Southern 1921 Chicago and Rock
Island was firm at 1904, an advance Of y cent; Ga
lena and Chicago 49, an improvement OF 3 cent.
This stock is thought to be dear by parties, who
still consider Delaware and Hudson cheap at 1872.
Yet Galena and Chicago, on an expenditure OF
Sc 600 600 earns 81 500 600 net per annum while Del
| aware and Hudson, an expenditure of about
50 oOC OOO earns only 81 100 900 net per annun, and
of this they are liable at any time 10 lose considera
bic portion by the Pennsylvania Canal Co. building
a railroad and doing their own transportation.
This, however, does not prove that Delaware is not
worth what il is selling for; Cleveland and Pittsburgh
sold at 20, buyer CO., Cleveland and Toledo closed at
s5l, which is lower Nicaragua improved to 30, and
closed strong; Cumberland was in good demand, with
strong market at the close. There appears to be
disposition to put this stock down in order 10 get in
cheap for bull movement In Railroad Bonds
there lie not much doing, and the market generally is
sold af Erie
Terre Haute and Alton y cents, 81, &c State Stocks
sold to the amount of $4,000 without change Of i'm
portance. Western bankers are in market picking
up quietly considerable amounts.
Foreign Exchange has been dull and heavy for this
steamer especially Sterling for which the inquiry has
been very light. We hear that the best commercial
signatures were sold at q q cent: Bankers asked
81 2 cent; Francs, 5l2l, ! T. cent off and closing
with downward tendency.
In FIcights the market is frmer. The engagements
include 10000 bushels Grain at lOd. in bulk and
ships bags 1000 bbls. Flour %. 3D.; 1900 bsles
Cotton, ,-l6d To London 500 bbls. Flour a., and
Oil Cake 4os. To other ports nothing new ISnspired.
