There was little more activity to-day in the Stock
market, but without important change tend'ng T.
lower figures. Reading was the heaviest stock, and
after the Second Board 500 shares sold at ss decline
of > q cent from vest rdsy There was street ru-
nor that an injunction had been obtained against tho
payment of the dividend. which probably had some
effect upon the market, and the statement In one OF
the financial circulars for the steamer that ~, 900
of bonds had been converted into stock had also an
unfavorable effect the result would probably be to
throw large amount of stock on the market. This
amount, however, we have doubt is largely ex-
ageerated. Our own advices from Philadelphia place
the conversions at much lower sum. Erie closed at

the sinking fund of the 1875 Bonds has been paid.
