The transactions in NewYork Central reached nearly
5000 shares, opening at SO and closing at
s2i SCI. An unofficial statement makes the
September receipts s6s0,Oo Erie was inactsye at
shout yesterdays prices. The October receipts, thus
far, We understand, are about the during the
sane period of last year. There is nucleus fornssg
of opposition to portion of the present Board 81
Directors Of the Erie which may possibly result, as
the coming election in throwing the majority into the
hands of the party who desire change in the eyecu.
tive OF the Road. We are inclined to think how
ever that the opposition are over-ssnguine. The bu
party in Reading very confident of a further
siderable rise, based upon the improved financial po-
stion of the road and upon the prospects of its traffic
The Philadelphia spectators largely engaged in the
movement. Psese Mail was quito strong in the morning,
but at the Second Board was uniavorably affected
by runners of opposition lines. Panama was not ac-
tive but steady at 1854 dll9. There several ell
ements of prosperity in this road which its friends
calculate largely upon to increase its earnings. In
Western railroad shares the market was active, aud,
although opening buoyantly, prices al the close in
some cases below those Of yesterday. Michigan Cen.
tral improved to 81, but afterward fell off to 55i.
Michigan Southern, guaranteed, improved v
cent. The results Of the business of Scptem-
Der are quite encouraging. Rock Island was active,
and well sustained until the Close when it heavy
at v cent decline. The September receipts prob
ably under 800 900. This is iavorte stock with the
bears who sell freely upon any important rise in it.
Galena, which was 50 yesterday, closed to-day Of
fered at s5i. Tile statements Of the September traffic

Milwaukee and Mississippi did no. participate in the

There continues to be good demand for Treasury
Notes and the new Government Loan from parties who
have large amount. of money idle, and from Savings
Institutions and Banks. There have been sales Of la

= cents at 1-l0d premium. The Three p Gents sell

ment Loan has sold as high as 81 az, cent to-
day, most holders asking y cent, and some hold
ing their amounts ont of market entirely. This
is an improvement of cent within short
time. We cannot learn that any important
orders have been received from Europe of tins loan,
but under the continued ameoration Of the London
money market and the advance in COnsols, many par
ties here anticipate that tue whole loan WILL before
long, be absorbed for foreign account. In the money
market the changes although unimportant, are in
favor Of the borrower The supply OF capital seeking
employment is more abundant aud loans have been
made to-day Oh securities current at the Stock ES
change as low as y cent, with i've and ten days
notice. The current rate however in the leading
stock houses is still Y cent. The rates on
paper in the discount houses are rather low

these Institutions in order 10 keep mp their lines, are
