TUESDAY, Aug. lS-P. u.
The share make. q falling to-day, and very
sluggish at that. The influence Of the Central and
Erie quaelis stl adverse upon the entire Railway hst
and everything for the time to follow in the track
Of the two concerns. We hear, however, o. more
favorable prospects in regard TO a compromise be-
tween the two companies, and the deed weight of
contest, which seems TO be oppressive to the whole
Railroad nteres. of the country msy trust be re-
moved from the Stock Exchsnge. Tne largest opera
tions Of the day IN New-York Central which,
opening at II, dropped down to 76l, and for while
seemed 10 hang FIRE !" al that quotation, but IN the
afternoon there increase OF buyers, and final
transactions left the stock frmer Between the Boards
there were sses Of Ooosh at76 769 seller thirty
"a fact which doubtless contributed to the stronger
feeling at the Second Board. Erie hsd not much ani-
nation, but gained little more vgor on the last call
closing at l6i bid. Thus far in the month Of August
the eanirgs about $40 900 behind those of same
time sst year. Rock Island attracted considerable
attention at both sessions, but had declining tendency
during the day. The afternoon sales show no improve
ment over prices current in the morning Reading
ranged al from A. TO Al, without activity. 10 Michi-
gan Central the transactions were at considerable
decline the stock closing rather heavy in the afternoon

coupons maturing in October and April, amounting in
the aggregate TO about t65O 00O and the knce Of in.
deb,edness stated by the Treasurer 10 the last annual
report must fully absorb the entire net earnings TO
June / next, unless business improves considerably
over thn Of lsst year. In Gaena, Michigan Southern

appeared to be afflicted with the hesynsss OF the day.
The bond movement was well distributed but no. ion.
por.an. in any single security Missouri C. declined 10
s5 IN the afternoon. The Lsnd Grant bonds of both
companies were heavy-the Is Crosse declining TO -,
and the Fond du Lscs TO at.
Al the Second Board the changes were no. material,
and the market still seemed dull, but just al the close
there was lees decided hesyness and rather s'onger
INCLINATION to buy. The closing prices were for Ene
