honorable men. Most Of the failures in the street
are members of the Board Of Brokers' The fact that
they belong to the board gives them credit they
are not entitled to, and very frequently outside ope-
rators suffer seriously.
Although the market generally was buoyant, it
will be seen that some of the leading stocks fell
on fraction. Reading, New York Central
Nicaragua Transit, Cleveland and Toledo, sold
this morning at prices below those current at
the close yesterday. Illinois Central bonds were
offered at lower rates. There was quite an improve.
ment in Harlem to-day. Between the boards sales
were made at 20 per cent cash. The company have.
we learn, negotiated between four and Eve hundred
thousand dollars Of it's second mortgage bonds.
This class of bonds amounts to $500 0O0 aud is se-
cured by mortgage on ali the eompany's real es-
tate in the ~, and all its rolling stock and equip
ments. These are valued at more than eleven hun
bred thousand dollars, making the security perfectly
sound. This company has some Of the most valua-
bic real estate in the centre of the city, and 1t must
continue to improve rapidly in value. Hudson River
Railroad stock has fairly walked up again. The
sales day were larger than we have known for
weeks, aud prices have advanced Eve and six
per cent from the lowest points.
After the adjournment of the board the following
sales Of bonds and stocks were made at auction by
Simeon Draper -

At the second board there was no material altera-
ton in prices, and the transactions were to fair
extent. Reading fell off per cent; Michigan
Southern, }; Cleveland and Toledo, !. Michigan
Central went up per cent, and Harlem 7. The
great abundance Of money must exert favorable
influence on the stock market. II was impossible
to lend money today to the extent offered. We
heard of one broker who had $750,000 to lend On
call, and no one wanted any part of it. Other
brokers were full, and no demand. The ease with
which stocks can be hypothecated induces specula
tors to purchase for rise and the demand for all
the leading railroad stocks is so active that the
market is relieved at once as fast as new supplies
are offered.
