THURSDAY, Feb. l2-P. n.

Prices were generally well sustained at the morning
Board to-day, with fair demand for the eadii 6
fances but at and after the Second Board the market
was very heavy, and the operations for fall had full
control OF most Of the active stocks. Illinois Central
continues to be exception TO the tendency Of the
market, and improved to 1879, which ia /! p cent
better The land sales not withdrawing the unfavor
able weather. indicate about $4,000 for the month,
which is larger than anticipated. The payment Of
the notes. falling due in January for lands was very
prompt. The cancement of bonds has no reached
GA, 600. La Crosse, Gaena, Panama Pacific Seam
ship &C.. were slso firm but most OF the other active
stocks close at decline. The biddngs for buyers
options rather active, and much more than the
usual difference offered especially in Toledo and Mich
igan Southern. In the latter stock 2d2l y cent differ
paid for sixty days, many parties being con-
fdent OF a large reaction within a short time who
were not prepared to buy the stock for
cash. The explanation which appeared in THs
TRIBUNE this morning in regard to the new issue OF
stock appears to have given general satisfaction and
to have checked the decline in it. At the close this
afternoon it was "a, the price Of yesterday. Cleve-
land and Toledo, 10, &c. Erie has been very weak
to-day, and fell off to $50, decline of b cent.
Central was also heavy and offered a. S9i Read
ing had an appearance OF st ness in the morning, but
sympathized with the rect Of the market in the after
noon, and fell off to SOt ds0I. Cumberland, under
umors of injury to the Canal which would prevent
coal being sent 10 market fell off to III In Railroad
Bonds the business large, and prices, although
heavy without material change. State Stocks are
rather active and little frmer. The amount Of Mis-
souris which has been withdrawn from the Banking
Department at Springfield, is, we understand, but little
short Of half million, and the Withdrawals are now
about $50 600 y day. There is no panic among the
Illinois Banks but the amount OF circulation which 10
returned in the natural course of his business is more
than they can take care of.
Tn Exchange there is but moderate business doing,
there being no steamer for Liverpool direct on Sstur-
day. Sterling ia nomnally $685. but bankers sigma
lures Can be had at 81 y cent which is lower. The
supply Of bills the market is increasing Sterling at
New Orleans is quoted at 81 a6i y cent.
Freights are dull and easier. To Liverpool, 700
bbls Flour at 70. 3d.; Grain at 7t97ld. 800 bales

The business of the Sub-Tresswy was: Receipts,
$246,36s 60; payments, s22, AIS ca; baasce, $l4,-
560O24 SO. The small payments for the last two days
are the result of the failure Of the Washington mail.
The Baltic is withdrawn, and we understand
no Collins steamer will leave this port until the
middle of March.
The City Of Glasgow leaves on Saturday for Glas-
cow and will take mail and Mr.. Cunard has it under
consideration to put the Alps direct for Liverpool
The business of the Clearing House was ga S2 900.
There is sharp inquiry for money to-day, and the
supply is less free The inquiry is from both stock and
mercantile circles. The banks are calling in some
loans. Paper, although not plenty in the Discount
houses, does not go easily below 9 y cent when of
strictly first-class character The drain of the Sub
Treasury and the shipments to New.0reans are hav-
ing an effect upon the bank of CON- sud irduce
caution. The Saturday steamer for Havana and New
Orleans will it is rumored, take large amount, partly
for Orleans for the purchase of exchange. In the
mean time Che California steamer is due in day or
two and from half to three quarters of million in gold
have been received during the week from Boston,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, &c. The exchanges in all
parts Of the country excepting the extreme South are
in favor of NewYork and the stream of specie is tend
ing this way.
In low grades Of Flour there is buoys ant and active
market, partly for export. Wheat lie held very firmly,
but the transactions are moderate. Pork and other
provisions quiet Coffee at the close in active
demand and firm, with sales Of 900 bags at 10 elOic.
