SECOND BOARD.
TUESDAY, Sept. S-P. N.

There was general decline at the Stock Board this
morning. with a disposition to press Stocks on the
market. The rapid using up of margins which has
been going on continues to force hypothecated stocks
on the market, and the list of transactions shows
very large amount of sales for cash and regular.
Nearly every description shows decline from yester-
day. and in the case of Rock Island the decline is
large-3I y cent. Erie fell off ! = cent, Reading
y cent, Illinois Central y cent, Toledo |. 2 cent,
Galena l v cent La Crosse T. cent, New York Cen
trail Il cent, Milwaukee and Mississippi y cent,
Pacific Steamship p cent. Cumberland ] y cent,
Delaware l T. cent, &c. At the Second Board the
downward feeling continued, and the market left off
weak The decline, however, was not go marked as
at the morning Board and there more disposition
shown to bid for buyers options Erie closed at POI
2C, Reading as, Southern Michigan firm at %, &c.
Despite the heavy decline of to-day there does not
appear to be any panic among operators; but the fall
is produced by the pressure to sen-manly fiom
outside.
Exchange is very dull and irregular, the rates for
Sterling ranging from to s. y cent, with best
bills at 81 49,. Under these figures no gold can go
abroad. Bars are plenty, and offering at discount
for California, and discount for Mint bars.

The business of the Sub-Treasury was Receipts,
1892, 373 o.; Payments, 1913 600 62; Balance sll,
SOS 81.
Among the payments to-day was q $4,000 transfer
draft from Newt Orleans, showing tendency of gold
this way from that quarter The banks and brokers
are still receiving considerable amounts from the in
terror, Boston, Philadelphia &c.
Among the failures which have been made public,
are Messrs. Coffin Haddock 4 Co.; l.. 4 V. Kirby,
very extensive dry goods house; Bates, Griffin 4
Iiye,more and Tuthil Cutting & Co. The street is
ful e rumors in which Of the most extensive
concerns in town areI alluded to. Some Of these
runners we know to be false, aud too much caution
cannot be exercised in giving currency to them. Two
,umors were especially current this morning, one OF
which was in relation to Of the richest houses in
the city.
In Money matters We have no change to notice The
demand is sti very active IN the commercial circles,
and the wants of that class are met with difficulty.
Some of the Banks discounting to the extent of
their receipts but others are still contracting The
,etemen, at the Clearing House to-day passed Cd well,
and the weaker Banks show that they are getting into
strong position There is better demand for mer-
camille paper to-day, and the discount houses have
been busy at Pals cent for strictly first class.
The stock houses appear to be easier put Money Is
| by no means easy on call

dividend of three dollars per share ten per cent,
payable on demand
