FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
MON EY NJ ARK q n.


The stock market is in very unsettled condition.
In some of the most prominent speculative stocks
the daily transactions continue large; but prices
uctuate irregularly that neither buyer seller
seems to get the advantage. The brokers are com.
PEELED to confne their operations to each other.
Outsiders, as general thing, have no interest in
the market. They are in favor of lower prices, so
as to give them better opportunity to come in
At the first board to-day Illinois Central bonds ad
vanced l per cent; Reading Railroad, l; Hudson
River Railroad, 1; Michigan Central, Il Panama,
&; New York Central Railroad, /. Nicaragua
Transit declined per cent; Erie, /; Cleveland and
Pittsburg, l; Cleveland and Toledo, /. 1t will be
seen by these variations that while some stocks of
doubtful value advanced considerably others OF
similar character fell off about the same extent. The
movements of regular stock spectators, in the
absence Of any other influence, keep prices run
ming up and down q fraction or 80 per day, SO as
to not permit the machinery to stop altogether.
The brokers are patiently waiting for something to
turn up. They are much in want of something
startling and important TO relieve the dull monotony
Of Wall street. The Nicaragua Transit outrage has
nearly passed away from the minds Of spectators,
and something else is now required to get up an
excitement. From Europe we cannot look for much.
sudden breaking up Of the Peace Conference, and
departure Of the negotiaters without an amicable
conclusion would certainly be something Of an ex-
citing character; but we do not look for such IN
fortunate result. From Washington we can look for
nothing of interest The Central American affair and
the Champion difficulty have become fat and stale,
and the public mind cannot be again easily agitated
by these subjects. The season is even against any
favorable influence. With snow storm that would
do credit to January, it is enough to discourage all
who look for the effect of mild and pleasant wea-
ther upon business operations. Holders of stock
must be content to wait the return OF May. BY
that time we shall, beyond doubt, be relieved from
all the drawbacks of closed navigation and inter-
rupted communication, and every department Of
business will be, we trust, in full and successf I
operation.
