SECOND BOARD.
THURSDAY, May 2l-P. N.

There has been an entire change in feeling IN the
Stock market to-day and with considerable activity
in the leading fances the market has advanced on the
lowest prices of yesterday to y cent The great
eft activity was in Erie and Southern Michigan
ray upon the latter stock was not unexpected after
the considerable decline vi yesterday, but the advance
Ina. been as rapid rs the decline The market opened
at 81 and with sales of q 800 shares improved stead
~ To COL at which 500 shares sold after the Second
Board. The party operating Tor decline made
free contracts in 1t, amounting To 4,OOO shares.
After the Second Board the stock was IN
good demand on buyers options. The "scrp
Stock the new guaranteed ISSUE sold at 90 which
bid at the close At 6Oi for common stock and ~ Tor
Guaranteed, the old stock stands at about 6i prvi
lece on Cash stock was less plenty to-day than for
day or two past The quantity OF Ere thrown On
the market was arge-the sales reaching about ~ 600
shares Of which 900 shares were cash stock aud
3day options. The market opened at 81, dropped To
81. and then improved, closing st 3Sl Toledo was
also better opening at "a and going to 65l Reading
WAS heavy in the morning but was bid up at the Second
Board TO 1911 N Y Central was not active but steady
Illinois Central fell off to 1873, but closed at 1881 bid
Milwaukee and Mississippi was very heavy and sold
as low as u.s. Rock Island was quiet, but steady. In
other stocks there no marked change There was
nothing of Importance done in State Stocks or Kali
road Bonds but prices generally are heavy. Illinois
Central fell of y cent. The movement to-day, Il
will be seen, has been large, embracing about Sos
shares; but as Ear ~ be ascertalned 1t has been,
TO very large extent between street operators. Inc
reduced prices which have ruled for day or two have
brought in some outside buyers, but also some outside
sellers and taking the entire list, we presume there u
more stock on the street than there wss week
L. INN a..in
Of the stock houses that the disposition to operate in
stocks among the public is dying out and that sooner
or Inter their occupation will be gone. Just such
seasons Of Indifference on the part Of the public to stock
speculation has, however, been seen before in Wal
street and We presume that long the passion for
Gambling, in some shape, is almost universal In tho
human breast, 1t viii yet continue d. N'o' a' =" ""
vent in the stock market.
In Exchange there is nothing Of importance doing,
and ouoa,ons are steady. There being no steamer %
Saturday remters are not buying.
