Tbs CosM FULiTAs.-Some one, curious
IN such matters, has been summing ap what
my be called III, printing statistics of the
Cosmopolitan Art Association, and The re.
suits are indeed surprising. As a spcci-
men, we learn from these labors that the H.
lnstratcd Catalogue of the Association has
been printed upon 100000 sheets, 81 by IS
inches. The postage created by the Asso.
ciaiion amounts to $4,000 per year. The
corFesp)nience, mailing, etc, employ four
teen persons in the Western and eight in
the Eastern oili'e, and there nre already
fifteen hundred secretaries appointed in dif-
'erent parts of the country.
From these facts which we presume are
true, some idea may be formed ofthe extent
o. the operations of the Association.

WEDNESDAY, narcn LII 4. u.
The stock market opened and closed heavy to day.
The only really active stock on the List was Reading
and that receded little from the opening, not.
withstandinR the large sales. Panama railroad was
sold to some extent to-day, at the decline noticed
yesterday. There appears to be considerable anx
iety ito realize on this stock. The highest point
touched few weeks since was twelve and fourteen
per cent premium. II now sells at fraction above
par, and ten shares are soil now where thsFe was
one then. The excitement raised on the op sning
of the read from to ocean has subsidized and the
views Of holders have evidently changed. Railroad
bonds are not 80 active to day, but We have no
change Of consequence to report in prices. State
stocks continue firm and In demand but sellers were
not so plenty to-day, and the supply on the market
appears to be more. limited Erie, Harlem Central,
Hudson River Railroad and the western railroads, are
only operated in to q small extent, and exhibit no
indications Of an improvement. Holders cannot
get up any speculative excitement, and hut FOR the
ease with which almost any fancy stock can be
hypothecated, they would have been forced on tho
market long before this. This position Is at the
best precarious one, and with the margin ,or q
decline which exists in them ALL the risk Of carry
Ing 10 too great TO be justified by any prospective
profits The danger Of loss is too great, and the
probability Of a rise too remote, to induce new
operators to touch such stocks in the present
state Of the market.
