With the exception of the operations in Railroad

ton, closing at S53si bid, S5l asked, regular way

Central was also weaker and declined about 25 cts.
per share, with sales of 100 shares seller 60 days.
at S2OM leaving off at S203I bid, S207s asked, reg
ular way. There again some little movement
in Bank shares at firm rates, the sales embracing
shares Merchants at Sll9%, 25 shares Farmers
and Merchants at S4lh, and 81 shares Mechanics
at S1S1@. Baltimore City 6s show no material

quiet and without change, the only sale to-day
being 5000 Northwestern Virginia Sd mortgage
unendorsed at 30I, the as last rates. The ag-

The New York Post of Saturday afternoon says:
There was larger business on the Stock Ex-
change to-day, though at prices generally in favor
of the buyer. The transactions in New \ ork Cen
tral were livclier than Yesterday, and cash stock
appears to be more plenty. The attention of opera
tors, to some degree the pnbc, is concentrated up
on Pacific Mail Panama and Rock Island. The
reaction in the Pacific Mail was but temporary,
the price recovering to l0O% at the close. Pana-
is in strong hands, and it is reported that the
operators for the rise were purchasing to retire
large amount of the shnras, with the Wow of put
ting it to 90 per cent. premium. The closing price
is ll61%, IL per cent higher than Yesterday Erie
closed at l63I l675. Cleveland fell to 3l8. Hud-
son River to 263. Galena to SlB. Mlcigan
Southern to 223i. The Guaranteed Stock to 42A.
The Bears have knocked Rock Island down to Ga,
but cash sales are making at G44@G43s. Reading
is steady. The tonnage for the week it appears
was only 5S7 tons The canal continues to lead the
road considerably-it bringing over, during the
week, Al ,070 tons. The downward movement in
Michigan Central is occasoned by the impression
that the new route between the Northwest and
Detroit, opened through the completion of the
Detroit and Milwaukee road is calculated to divert
much travel from it, The shares of the Illinois Cen
trail Road were in good demand and advanced to 10.
In railroad bonds the business small. Wabash
Seconds declined to 1881; Erie Convertibles of 1862
to 81 =. State stocks were dull and heavy. Very
few sales tool, place.

The Louisville Courier of the 23d says:
We learn that a contract for pork, for November
delivery was made at Ft. Wayne, Ind, Monday,
at S5.75 to Sc. The Bowling Green Gazette states
that Quigley & Co., packers have purchased most
of the hogs in Warren county at s.. The efollowing
is from the Cincinnati Price Current of Yesterday:
Until within the last week there has been good
demand for hogs for November delivery, at Sc, and
for the orepart of December delivery at S5.75 per
cwt., nett, but the admirable manner in which the
corn is ripening, and the decline in pork, with
absolute certainty that pretty large stock will go
to the next season have had depressing infu-
ence- on the feelings Of SPECTATORS regarding the
futuSe, and there several anxious to sell hogs
for early delivery, the past week, at S5.75 but buy
ers had disappeared.
