THURSDAY, req. i-P. v.
Tie sentiment at the Stock Exchange to-day seemed
20 be in favor Of reaction in the market; and, al
though no one could see any particular reason for r
decline, there was evidently some desire to realize
profits. Acting upon this very natural feelng-which
comes as naturally as WEAKNESS after considerable eXer
tiorhe bears offered stocks freely, and succeeded in
establishing downward tendency for the day. At the
First Board, New.York Central and Erie the
strongest stocks the share lst-the former opening
at 8ll but improving on the quotation as
the call progressed and the latter showing
considerable activity at 233 a23i Reading was
heavy. apparently under Philadelphia orders
10 sell. and declined TO So, selling Immediately
aft er THE adjournment down to 81. Michigan South
ern was firm at 90 Toledo took decidedly downward
turn aud was weak throughout the session. Panama
was in den and and very firm. Pacific Mail Steamship
sold down to % and was heavy-the prospect OF a
competing line operating adversely upon the stock.
Cumberland was firm, ard had rising tendency, a.
though the clique show disposition TO check its
rather rapid movement 10 higher prices Michigsn
Central was sold at Ct, but the stock was well
supplied at the quotation, and the best bid at
close of call was %. Gaiena and Rock Island
We're well maintained, but there was No special
movement in either stock. At the Second Board
and a general decline was established in leading
stocks, Cumberland and Panama forming about the
only exceptons-the former actually advancing on
morning pfices, and the latter proving particularly
firm. New-YoIk Central Erie, Reading aud Southern
we've fraction lower and Toledo was very heavy at
81, showing decline Of l. T. cent for the day Ls
Crosse also dropped little, and was offered at Oi q,
the close. The Bond market psrOck OF the down.
ward tendency noticed in the share list, and is
generally lower, with fair amount Of sales.
The most decided decline was il Missouri
6s which went down TO Si at the Seconl
Board and were finally offered at 81 under rumors
that the Union was TO be at once ssoved La Crosse
Land Grants declined p cent or moderate sales.
Michigan Central new loans down 10 96 in the
afternoon. Reading rev loan Bonds we're steady
through the day at H. but we're in good supply at the
| quotation Among the csuses TO which the decline Of
to-day is attributed the Kansas agitation al Washing
ton claims considerable prominence in the street; AMI
this, perhaps is quite good as any which can be
given for lAk OF any adverse feature in money mat
tiers. Ur,ss. however the bears make our close
proximity TO dissolution of the Union, il is not prob
able that much of panic b. nanufs scturel. At
