FRIDAY, April 10, 1858.
The Stock movement has been OF singular and ca
PRECIOUS character during the day The first effect OF
the foreign adverse, and the bears took AL
vantage OF the feeling TO hammer the market down tc
points st which it became desirable to cover outsand
ing contracts. A small amount Of cspital wss made
hlso out of the "yelow fever arrival at Quarantine;
but the Alarm ON this point seems mosty confined to
Tire short interest in Wall street 1t is singular fact
that in regard to the visitation Of this disorder there
is swsys more anxiety felt and expressed among the
bear operators Of Wal street than 10 any other portion
of the city-s fact which, in superficial view Of the
subject: suggests the idea that the milk OF human
kudness flows very freely in the veins OF these
dsipterested gentlemen. At the InOrnlng's Board
nearly every prominent stock on the list fell
of from closing quotations Of yesterday, and
there was marked legree Of hesvness up II the hour
Of adjournment. New-York Central went down to
Sc. but was trife better in final sales. Enc was
particularly weak notwithstanding the scarcity OF cssh
stock and a. the close Of the cali wss offered freely al

and At 2l on sellers optionshe proposed issue OF 81
mortgage bonds still acting adversely upon the market
value of the stock upon the broad grounds that the
stock is likely be further removed from the chances
of dividend by losses the sales OF bonds, winch IN
creases the debt at the same time that its consohda-
ton is effected. Panama went down to lo14, on mod
crate sses. There was considerable activity IN Can-
ton. at decided decline, the closing transac-
tons on shoft time being at 2O!. Nicaragua
ascined / IL il now understood that CJm-
modore Vanderbilt is getthg the new steamer
"The Queen Of the Pacific in readiness for the
Hsvre line and that he has intention OF reopen'ne
the Transit route at present. Between the sessions
the market stiffened up considerably, and al tue
Second Board quotations were from lel = cent
better through the list for leading stocks and there
was a tolersbly firm feeling up to the time of adjourn
ment This improv ement continued through the day,
funess Of tone. 10 bond transactions the only par
ticular feature for the day more active inquiry
for Illinois Central which az the Sec )nd Board went
