There was large business done in Erie and Read
ing today but the market generally was quiet and fell
off from the opening prices. The sales of Erie were
about 1000 shares opening at $50, touching 81, and
closing at 53l which was the closing price of Satur-
day. The September basine;s continues to be very
large. Reading fell off y cent, Central, without
transactions was abou. 99; it sold at that price at
auction to-day. Panama vas without m ich change.
The Western shares are buoyant, especially
Gsena and Chicago and Cleveland and Pitts
burg. The former advanced TO rs bid an
improvement Of 2 p cent, and the latter to
~ bid-an Improvement Of II y cent Illinois
Central, 90. Chicago and Rock Island, 97s, &c.
Cleveland and To,edo was in fair demand and firm at
Ell. The late advance in Gaena and Chicago is
predcated Oh the very large receipts of that road
compared with its cost, and the impression that there
will be at about the time Of the next dividend an
extra dividend in stock of the surplus earnings which
are now stated to be $3.50 O0O The August receipts
were s2O5 500 against sl04 100 or in round numbers
one hundred T. cent increase. The receipts for the
six months ending lst September have been 81 1888
on expenditure of g., 500 900. At 30 cent run
ming expenses this gives net revenue of nearly 10
celt for six months and those the least profitable half
of the year. The Cleveland and Pittsburgh receipts
for August are in advance of the estimate. Cumber.
