TUESDAY, Feb. lS-6 r. ".
The stock market was Q little more buoyant t.d
mo wing, and In soma Of the leading fsncies there
was considerable activity. There WIRE more cash
tiansa ctions than usual. State stocks and railroad
bonds c~oHtinue TO press upon the market, but not In
lots large enough to depress prices materially. ILL.
nois Centr VI bonds, new issue, fell of to-day to Q

such q proces ding is Of too grave o character TO be
psssed over lightly. We think there Is little doub.
about the truth Of this statement, and 1t
muet have an injurious effect upon tho
credit OF the company. 1! Is also reported that the
Illinois Central Railroad Company contemplate
purchasing the Chicago and Mississippi railroad,
The Air Line, direct from Chicago to 81. Louis; for ths
sum OF y 1000, 900. This amount win have to be
provided for by another Issue Of bonds, backed up,
perhaps, BY a second mortgage ON the company's
lands. AT the first board Erie Bonds, 1873, advanced

regard him with great interest, and who was present At
