morning but the activity concentrated mainly IN New
York Central Pacific Mail Reading, and Rock Island
The dispatch in the morning papers referring 70 the
harmonious character OF the conference at Philadelphia
probablv added somewhat to the confidence 81 opera
tors in Central and Ere but there free supply OF
stock at the quotations, and bids for one or two large
lots on tine accepted, with a greater show OF
conrare on the part OF seller. The movement IN
pacife Nal is quite animated. and the contest
between the bulls and bear, l. sharp and earnest.
Tim, far the bear have had decidedly the worst OF H.
and maturing contracts have Oeen obliged to submit
70 the payment of large differences but new contracts
an. nut out at the higher figures for the chances OF
some interruption in tie prosperity OF the concern,
which will enable the operators to establish lower
urice. for the stock. 1t Is now toeraby Wei con-
tested fight between bulls and bears. Reading had
fair degree OF seadness. selling up at ~, but was not
very prominent in the transacti0ns-lO 600 shares at
To- hoo sod in a single lot. Galena and Rock Island
were both tolerably finn. but the latter was fraction
lower Oh sellers option contracts. There was oat
SLIGHT variation in the prices Of other lea1ng
stocks. but upon the whole a small concession was
established except for those especially noticed a.
attracting the largest share of attention AZ the after
noon Board there was a steady but rather tame mar
ket. with but slight change in quotations. Pacific
Mail declined l. but was toerably firm at the close.
For State stocks and well approved Railway bonds
there Is a fairly sustained but rather quiet market.
The fluctuations from prices current yesterday are
unimportant We notice an increased demand for
Bank shares with an improving tendency TO prices.
American Exchange advanced I, with sales of Ito
shares. Speculative movements at the Board are of
that undecided and caprcious character accompanied
by petty fluctuations, which distinguish what
is called in Street parlance " brokers
market" The sympathy of outsiders IL
needed to give spirit and activity to the
dealings. The closing prices are: For New-iork Gen.
