The stock market Is daily getting weaker and
weaker. II appears to have been totally abandoned
The bulls have even given up all hope, ana longer
strive TO sustain prices. The bears compelled to
enter the market occasionally buyers and in this
way keep prices up TO higher points than would
otherwise rule. AT the first board today, New York
Central Railroad declined per cent; Erie. i; Read
ing Railroad, 4; Cleveland and Toledo, 1; Panama,
I. Chicago and Rock Island advanced per cent.
Western railroad stocks appear to be better ms-
tanned than any other Erie, New York Central
and Reading are the heaviest stocks on the list, and
much lower prices are looked for In EACH There were
no sales Of Illinois Central Railroad stock today. The
rights sell daily in small lots at ia per cent. The
money marke. continues easy. The supply Is fully
equal TO the demand, and the rates Of interest re-
main without alteration. Last year the money
market commenced contracting in the early part Of
September, and then II went on at q rapid rate.
This year IL WILL without doubt, move in a similar
manner. The banks have already reduced their
loans about two millions Of dollars; but that l. com
paratively moderate. Some Of the bank managers
look for a reduction In discounts of full twelve mil
lions Of dollars. Barings' London Circular, received
by the Niagara, says tina. money was In brisk de
mand at Al a per cent and that in the absence Of
business quotations for American stocks would be
only nominal.
After the adjournment OF the board the follow
ing sales Of bonds and stocks were made at auction
by A. II. Nicolay;-
