SECOND BOARD.
TUESDAY, Nov. S-P. NJ.

lUESDAf, NONs Or ne
There was considerable activity in the dealings for
New-York Central this morning, but the market gen.
erally was rather dull Prices were little irregular
during the session, ruling lower for the Eastern OF
local railway shares while for the Western the market
seemed to gather little strength as the business
of the session progressed This condition Of the market
is Just the reverse of that noticed for some time past
the Western shares having compared unfavOrably with
New-York Central and other stocks, under home con-
troll and management. This was partly owing to the
free purchases of Galena and Rock Island for
the short account which impaired temporary rmness
to those stocks and partly to the large private sales oil
New.York Central by one of the bulls, whose defec-
ton has been somewhat discouraging to the party
The report of large lose in wheat by the burning of
grain elevator in Buffalo, used with some effect
also against that stock, although it did seem to be
clearly settled whether the loss would fall upon the
Railroad Company or not. The sales of this leading
stock were TO the extent of over 3,'Oo
shares at the First Board, closing at 79s
rather heavy. Reading declined to 81 but was
firm at the price afterward. The Philadelphians APP
pear to take the lead again in fixing the market value
Of this stock II is now stated that Mr.. Cullen will
not retire from the Presidency. Galena was the most
active of the Western shares and became quite firm at
quotations. Rock Island and Illinois Central were
steady, without large transactions in either The
Michigan roads were dull, and i9i y cent lower.
There was good demand for Pacific Mail, and in the
afternoon the stock sold at "a. Nothing definite
! ia vet known about the dividend, but va
| rjous rumors are ahoat in the street, and
the usual gossip about negotiations with Commo-
dore Vanderbilt has been current. AT the Second
Board there was slight Improvement in most OF the
monument stocks, but the market closed dull. The
