TUESDAY, Jan. 6-P. ".


There was very large business done az the Stock
Board to-day and the upwtfd tendency which has OBJ
tanned for several days past received check There
was q pressure Of cash stock on the market which
forced sellers to accept lower prices The demand for
buyers options however, was good, and full differ
ences were paid. We notice rather more disposition
to make short contracts. At the Second Board there
was nrmer feeling exhibited with some recovery in
prices. The aggregate transactions Of the day
quite large. OF Erie nearly 10000 shares sold,
touching 62i, but closing at 63. Reading was sSi
8sa for the opening. Panama 93i, dividend equal
to 99i. Central was 93i d9i Western shares
were heavy, with the exception of Galena
which improved TO 1911 bid; Toledo closed at III,
having been II; Michigan Southern, SSi Michigan
Central, 93i Illinois Central l24 bid La Crosse sold
as low az g. but closed at II bid The decline to-day
was occasoned by rumors of legal proceedings having
been taken by the Lske Superior Co. against the Ls
Crosse. This latter Company upon obtaining the grant
of lands from the State for the building of road to
Lake Superior, transferred that portion of the grant
north of s.. Croix to another Company. The La
Crosse Co. are unwilling to make legal transfer Of lis
rehts &C., until authorized by the Legislature, thus
releasing themselves from the liability of building that
portion OF the road The proceedings in question,
to compel an immediate transfer. The matter will no
doubt be amcsbly arranged In Railroad Bonds the
business was not large, and prices about as before.
