Stock market for a long period occurred to-day, the
transactions at the Board being less S2,5OO. There
were no sales of Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
shares, and the closing rates. which were $50 bid,

since yesterday. The only sale of Northern Cen

S2lR was offered S2lA asked regular way, u
higher than the previous day. After the adjourn

200 shares at S2l1a cash, thus sustaining the ad-
vance. We also note sale after the Board OF l0
shares Cuba Mining and Smelling Company at SOL
