the Fin, Bo,d. majority Of the prominent sPeco'
latiye shares showing modera;e decline upon oat
r,day's closing prices, while some were very well
sustained. and few advanced, with considerable
yiger and strength displayed in the operatives. To
ward the close Of the session the market appeared TO
be hrmer the movement in Rock Island giving some
eneom sgement to the bulls, and iDparting more
cheerful tone TO the general dealings. The Anglo
Saxon's news, although filed with items Of financial
distur baDce and sppreheusions OF immediate war,
had no upfavorabIe influence iom the fact that peo-
pie generally had confidently looked for an actual
COMMIT noement Of hostltee, and the mere temporary
postponement is sufficient TO revive the hopes Of the
sans uine elasses, that war may even now be
avoided. The strongest movement Of the
day was in Rock Island, which opening Of
J9l, was run up to 60 on the call, with
brsk demand for cash stock. The shares were quite
scarce for delivery, and between the Boards sales
were made high as 81, although this quotation was
not maintained in the afternoon. The parties moving
in this stock do not seem at all discouraged oy the
threatening aspect off affairs in Europe, or the IN
favorable traffic returns from the Western roads, but
pursue the movement steadily and confidently. New
York Central was not very active, and declined to II
on the call, but was slightly 6rmer at the close
Michigan Central was rather heavy at 45i, but was
maintained at the quotation during the call. Hi
pois Central declined to GA, but was not ac-
tive. GaleDa was pressed for sale freely but was
quite strong at So in closing transactions, with
a fair degre of activity Hudson River, Har-
lem Preferred Michigan Southern guaranteed
and Toledo were steady without important change in
quotations. The movement in Pacific Mail was lees
animated on Saturday, but the stock had firm mar
ket and after selling at 81 in demand at Si2 at
the close Of the CALL and, in the afternoon, sold as
high az Sc. The sellers options were taken with more
courage and at less difference than heretofore be-
tween such contracts and their prices. The Coal
stocks were firm with the exception of Cumberland,
which declined to lSI. Delaware and Hudson aud
Pennsylvania Coal were in good demand and better.
At the Second Board the market was steady for near
ly everything, except Michigan Central, which sold
down to IS, and was hammered with more vigor than
usual on sellers options Rock Island, Galena and
Toledo advanced on the prices of the morning,
and closed tolerably fair. Quite active
business was done in State Stocks during the day
especially in Missours Virginias and Tennessee's-
all of which were very well sustained, and rather bet
ter at the Second Board. Government So, 1874, were
in demand at l04i In Railway Bonds the transac-
tons were not large, but the quotations generally
show decline as compared with Saturdays prices.
