Quotations current at the first board to day com

Hudson River Railroad, !; Chicago and II rex
Island, !; Nicaragua Transit, 5 Cumberland Coal,
!. Michigan Central declined 4 per cent; Michigan
Southern, 4; Cleveland and Toledo, l.. The list
active movement was ia Cumberland Coal. The
report just published. which we shall find space Tor
IN day or two. is considered highly favorable. The
company is doing larger business than last year,
and The Lew avenues opening almost daily for the
consumption Of Cumberland coal must give full EN-.
pigment TO every facility Tor mining 10 that region,
st remunerasing prices. There is no doubt bu, that
ultimately locomotives in every section o. the
country will be compelled to use Cumberland
ceal instead OF wood. We can form only
very vague idea Of the extent OF consumption for
such purposes. 1t must be immense. Reading was
IN jemsnd to-day at higher prices than have before
been realized. Erie and Central hold their own
pretty WELL Nearly all the leading Western railroad
stocks were heavy to-day, and lower prices were
accepted. moderate amount OF business was
transacted In State stocks and railroad nis, at
better piices. All the issues Of the Erie company
sre gradually but steadily approaching par.

which it says is written by an intelligen

Whether the above Shall prove true or no.,
II Is useless TO disguise HE fact thai, Loui,
Napoleon has raised France to a position Of
