There was fair activity at the Stock Board to-day,
but the market generally heavy, and closed with
a downward tendency excepting in Erie. The only
reason for the weakness to-day is the large specie
shipment of tomorrow by the Persia, and the prooa
bity of the shipment for the week reaching TWO mil
lions. For Erie there was a large order IN market
which sustained the price. One party bought about
5,CC0 shares, supposed for foreign house. Enc was
as low as 81 before the Board, but under large Pur
chases advanced to Gil 49,. The receipts keep up

tonight $685., 900 thus far this month. Reading was
