TUESDAY, Apnl Up. ".
The only variation to-day from the state of unmitiga-
ted duuess reported for several days past III the Stock
Market, was EXTENSIVE movement 10 Rock Island
aud Reading ard considerable activity also in Milwau
kee and Mississippi Under large purchases by two or
three leading operators, there was an Improvement OF
from TO q cent in these stocks and during the first
call the prospects Of more lively and interesting m'f
ket seemed good but before the adjournment took
place the courage of operators for the rise seemed to
have failed Them and the advances established in early
sales were nearly lost again the session closed.
New-Yok Central from So, fell back to SO; E,ie
down again to 81 and Hudson River was freely
at 80. These the only stocks which clsmei
much attention, others showing but Sigh; change
from yesterdays prices, and suffering under tempo
rary neglect At the afternoon session the improve
ment of the morning was lost, and the whole msr-
ket closed weak and lower. NeF-York Central

transactions in Wall street appear so HAT and un'nter

auest and scarce. We notice sales OF American tx

sents striking contract as compared with the prce
