The Neo York Post, of Saturday evening, says :.
The hcavness in winch ruled throu the
week Is still marked to-day, and the Bear party fol
low the market down with considerable confidence The
frmness in few descriptions noticed in yesterdays deal
ngs has quite disappeared and the fall is participated
by all the railway shares the prices of State stocks and
the reliable class of bonds only being maintained
The feature of the market the decline three per
cent. in Illinois Central shares under the apprehension of
another call of twenty per cent We do understand
that the President Directors have expressed opinion
that money would be needed during the year 1859
that the contrary assessment of five dollars per
share would be in time to pay the March and
April interest unless other arrangement is made
the money by the London Committee. We understand
from Mr. Wm Smiths letter that they propose to do this
this WILL probably be about all that will be required
uring the 1882 taking the earnings of 1856 and 1857
basis. We understand that it upon this basis
that the estimates made.
The downward movement also very decided on
New York Central, Reading and Michigan Southern
Guaranteed The sales of the first reached 900 shares
Of the second 5000 shares. Pacific Mail steady at
1913 Delaware and Hudson Canal at 9SH Erie bonds
firm The Second Mortgage brought S. The transactions
in State stocks very limited
The tendency of the money market during the has
been to increased ease The unsettled and unsatisfactory
condition of the stock market has necessitaed curta
ment of loans the part of several heavy brokers' which,
IN connection with the decline in the specie movement
southwark has increased the supply offer
demand loans are per cent cheaper than last Satur-
less subject to the daily fluctuations in the supply of
capital.
