SATuRDAI, Dee. I0-P. ~.
With occasional spasms Of lrmDess, and fsyerish
rallies the Stock market appears be gradually ses
ting TO lower prces except for State and City Stocks
which attract attention for investment and some De-
scriptops OF Railway Bonds, switch are considered
staunch and strong securities. We notce, also, a
more active inquiry for the low priced bonds Of various
railways which have hitherto been comparatively Ne
elected, and decidedly favorable tone of the
market for them. This improvement springs from the
rapid recuperaoD in the market value Of the bonds Of
tue Erie road which suggests equally favorable re-
snl. in other the process Of reorganization
and reform goes on. The adoption Of intelligent and
practicable measures similar 70 those progressing IN
the Erie, will, IN due Of time, ex
tricate many an enterprise from embsrrass-
ments which now seem very formidable,
and Us these new elements Of life fused into the
bodies corporate Of many enfsebed concerns we may
expect witness, from time to time, just such sudden
advances in make. value have taken place within
fe weeks in the securities Of the Erie. With these
executions, however, there is nothing of promising
character in the present aspect Of the stock market
TIE speculative movements have but little force, and
the desings from day to day develop more strongly
the fact that the market owes astever activity has
almo entirely TO the operators of the Stock Exchange
and few large spectators in the street New
York Central is more steadily maintained than
any Of the railway shares, but even this favor
lie stock seems too unweldy to above S0l $500
Next in point of fmness il Hudson River, which, on
account Of its steady growth in business and prospect
i've advantages ia the development of large local
traffic Is gradually working into favor. There was
not much done in the stock during the day. but closed
in demand at IL. The Western shares show a slight
decline as compared with Friday, and, wi come rreg
ulariiy were decidedly heavy in the closing transac-
tons of the day. Illinois Central, with fair degree
Of activity declined in the afternoon to $50 and
rather dull at the price. IL reported in the street
that cGll of $40 2 share, payable Feb l, had been
voted by the directors but official statement Of such
action has been made Gaena opened at est, and was
in fair demand but under free supply of cash stock
fell of gradually, and in the afternoon was rather
heavy at 65i The prospect Of an active competition
with the Rockford Road has had prejudciai effect
uron this stock. The earnings of the fret week in
December show increase Of about go 700 over the
corresponding week of 1858. Rock Island went down
TO e. but steady this quotation during the day,
with moderate transactions. The Michigan roads were
fraction lower but not prominent in their deal
ings Panama more free ~ supplied at the advance
recently established and was fraction lower. Pacific
Mail was firm at the First Board, and fraction higher
in early sales at the afternoon session but was scarcely
maintained at the cose. The business of the Second
Board was, upon the whole, at concession
| in prices, and without positive heaviness. the
dealings Were lacking in spirit and vgor.
