stances quotations showing a rnoders.e decline from
closing prices of Yesterday while in others there
| n decided Improvement. At the fret Board New.York
Central was in active demand, advancing to 81, and
closing firm. Galena buoyant also, and went TO
942 with sales to fair extent. Enc sold at 32 but was
fraction lower at the close Of the call. Hudson River
advanced to 28 but also shade of in last sales.
Reading with decided show Of strength, went up to
CO. but not maintained and finally closed dull at
62l New-York again takes the lead in quotatons for
this stock but there was considerable activity in the
shares at the Philadelphia Board yesterday. Michigan
Southern and Toledo were both little higher in the
early sales but sympath2ed with the rest Of the
market as the call for each stock closed ard were
rather dull. Rock Island sold up TO 81, and was in
demand but the call prOgressedthe shares came out
more freely and the closing price was barely main
tanned Cumberland was dull without much change
througnUut the day
At the Second Board there was slight decline in
most of the leading stocks, with the exception OF Erie
and Canton, the former OF which wac strong at 49,
while the latter advanced TO a. Rock Island declined
q cent. Cleveland and Pittsburgh, which sold in the
morning at II and 3 the strength OF report from
Philadelphia that an oyer-ssue Of stock had been dis
covered suddenly advanced again TO 10. This rumOr
Of oyer-issue probably originates from the story eur
rent some months since that lot Of stock pledged as
collateral had beer sold without authority and ID now
/ revived by some to whom the facts were new
Bond transactions were not large but the market is
generally steady for we-approyed securities of this
| description. Reading Loan Bonds were 10 de-
| mand at H. which is Improvement. Michigan Cen
tral = Cent? New Loan Were steady at 99. Illinois
| Central Bonds were in better demand, but inactive
La Crosse Land Grant Bonds declined to "a. Brook
yn 6s advanced to 95s, and We hear OF private sales
| Of Chicago ~ at from V 0eo. STATE S;ocks were
generally steady. After the Second Board tue market
was quite buoysnt for Elie and sales were MADE a.
high az 33; but this quotation was not surtained and
the last sale was made 325. With this exception
most Of the outside dealings al the same time were a.
| slight concession 10 buyers, and the market was
slightly heavy d, the close, the following quotations
giving the ruling prices in tie latest Transactions viz;
For New-York Central, ST. bid; Erie, 32!i Rock
Island so; Michigan Southern, 20. Cumberland, "
| Gaena, 9ii; Toledo, i71; Reading, 81 {, &c. Taken
| as a whole the market has been sustained with re-
msrkabe strength after rapid and rather inpulsive
| advance Some OF the leading spirits OF the Board
seem disposed 10 pause temporarily a. least but the
force Of outsiders las increased so largely that the
control OF the marke. not 60 much in the hands Of
| chques and at every halt fresh and unexpected i'm
pulses seem TO in from new quarters 1t is but
natural to look for partial decline AFTER such decided
| and rather feverish improvement in market values;
bat when outside buyers move vigorously in specula
tons for an advance and ale suppofted by q supera
b,lpdanty supplied money market, calculations are set
| al defiance. We have yet another element TO come in
to sustain prices and that s the foreign demand which
is likely 10 become quite important as the reports Of
the material advance OF the last thirty days reseh
England, demand likely be stimulated by the glut
and low price Of money at the great money centers OF
/ the world.
