TUESDAY, Dec. 2i-P. ".
The color Of the Stock market was decidedly blue
to-day at both sessions Of the Board and bot very few
Of the Leading shares maintsned at closing prices
Of yesterday Nes.Yofk Central and Reading we're
again comp ravely neglected in the more interesting
movements Of the Western shares, bat had tolsraoy
steady mar Iet mp 10 the close Of the day, although
fraction 10y 5er The most serious decline OF the day
in Ro, leland which from the opening quotation
of SCI at nc First Board, went down TO 5ol at the
Second a. id closed rather heavy. We hear o. no new
feature in regard 10 this stock although an uniounded
report Of the loss Of bridge was IN circulation among
the stool operators during the day. There IL no truth
n the 81 ory co far AS we can ascertain. Gaena was
alec " leavy and went down to 20 in the afternoon
dechI e Of y cert for the day. Illinois Central IN
proved slightly at the First Board, but gave way
again ct the Second, closing finally at 66l. Michigan
Cent? a. was Of the 6rmeA stocks on the list, bot
vas not especially active. The closing quotations
chow an s1vance of I yesterday afternoon
Pan ana and Pscifc Mail both well maintained
Sta' Stocks were inactive, except for Mssouris
VIII oh were pressed for sale freely sellers option
tracts but quite readily taken Illinois Central
b ods underwent serious depression, the quotations
ppog down 10 81 in the afernoon-a decEGe OF q
v cent compared With yesterday. The Freesnds
ere sold down 81. At the SccOLd Board there
general disposition to SELL but not much activity was
{ displayed. The largest dealings were in NewYork
Central, Rock Island and Gslena. La Crosse ad
vsnced p cen. during the day. Taking gen.
erJ view Of the market we observe ten
tlency to restricted transactions the part
of leading operators, whether bulls or
bears. This is doubtless partly incidental
to the proximity of the holidays but must be attrbut
able 10 some extent to the unsettled opinions of nte
TIC
kst The bulls the one hand lack and faith to
buy against the depressing facts stated against many Of
the Western roads while the other there is evidently
egeat deal of hesitation about extending contracts for
delivery at the low prices ruling There is NJ vigor
manifested either side, although for the time the
advantage is altogether with the bears. TIE clouds
which some are very ready to zee in the money mar
ket have little influence upon Stock operations
but few were seriously aiming the idea that We
ae to meet with any important change IN that respect
during the Winter. The closing prices were for

at slight discount Much dissatisfaction is felt a.
the wording of the Treasury proposals for the new
loan 1t appears that the july coupen is to be cut oil,
and the bonds will bear no interest TIL July. 1t Is
thors HI that the issue would be much desirable
the July coupons remained on the bond, and the
fakers paid the interest from the ist January to the
date OF the payment into the Treasury of the principal
she .ranlt would be for the Government precisely
