THURSDAY, Sept. 9--P. u

Stock transactions n. the First Board were mostly nj
decline from the closing rates of yesterday, but the
most prominent characteristic OF the market u IL SIN
gular steadiness in the midst os unusual dullness So
far the movements at the Boar indicate the feel
ings and opinions of specuators they appear to be
very much al loss which way to turn, and the ndis-
position the part Of operators for the rs TO load up
with stocks not greater than that OF their opponents
to puout contracts for the fall. The in money,
and thedecline which has already taken place the
Arguments against short sales, while on the
other side, the apathy of the public does
not encourage speculation for advance.
The commission brokers having very inactive
time of it, and to them almost any change in the
market which would attract orders to buy or seIl
would be exceedingly welcome. II IL seldom that the
tradeer actual investment is much restricted and
this feature is not only witnessed in Railway stocks,
but in State Securities end Bank shares. Railway
bonds 6or several days part seem to have had pref
erence in the demand and in some instances have a
firm a. ssel as rising market but even in these the
business is unusually light. On the Share list there
was decline Of y cent in New-York Central, Erie,
Hudson River and Reading, with much less than the
average of daily transactions in each. Reading was
pressed FOR sale freely than Of late and the supply
Of cash stock larger. The shorts the principal
buyers. Michigan Southern old and preferred shares
were both fraction lower but had 'oeraby steady
market at the decline 'Gaena declined !, and Rock
Island with consder able sales al-o shade lower
but both went through the CALI with fair degree Of
frmness, taking the general dullness Of the market
into account. Illinois Cen,ral declined to a. and
heavy. The depression IS in sympathy with the
duced quotations of the English market,
ported by the Asia The decline in England

Of business the road which went on, early
in August. The favorable change in the traffic
of the lire which occurred later in the
month was not reported until about the III OF Sep,em-
Der. When these accounts reach England the conf
denee Of sharv holders there is likely BE- very much
strengthened The business for September thus far
promises well, and will probably reach ron $40 coo
To- $50 COO in the first week. Milwaukee and Misss-
,rpi declined a; the First Board but was Mp again

officially reported a; about $7i,eno. Pacific Mail
Steamship Co. xas steady from - TO 92 during the
day. The threatened competition by the Transit
route seems 70 have lcst it, terror, for the
nrr~pt a, least. A. the Second Board prices
