SECOND BOAR D
FRIDAY, May So. VI.


There has been an active Stock market to-day, with
the leading fancies showing considerable strength
At the Second Board the market strong and rather
active, but closed dull at the rates of the last ransac-
tons. Reading was more heavy than the remainder
of the list and sold after the Second Board at 81.
Toledo cash stock continues scarce and that stock i'm
proved to Co. There il sctive contest in Southern

and the market at the close was 6i., a
slight Improvement yesterday closing price.

shares, closing at SCI, after having been 30. Erie
closed at i2. There was considerable cash stock on
the market Illinois Central improved Y cent Rock
Island was vsry firm at $751; an advance OIL y cent.
sale of 500 shares Nicaragua was made at 3, which IL
a considerable decline on the last sales In Railroad
Bonds and State Stocks there is but little doing, aud no
change Of importance. The Stock market at
present appears TO be in crisis. The bulls
have certainly recovered to some extent courage
and hope in the future, while the bear movement il
less vigorous. The position of the two parties Is such
that small matter may turn the market. Favorable
financial news from Europe, accompanied by contin-
uance Of ease in money, would give the bulls the ad-
vantage while symptoms of the stringent money mar
ket or tho commercial crisis predicted by the bears
would induce still further decline. Which OF these
events is most likely to occur our readers must Judge
for themselves. We nothing in the immediate fu-
turs to justify apprehensiOns of stringent money
market neither do we apprehend any commercial
crisis within the next few weeks.
