TUESDAY, June 7-P. N

The same lack of spirit in speculative movements
was exhibited in the Stock market to-day as during
the last week or two and quotations had in nearly
every instance downward tendency. The public
evince no desire to take any important part in the
drama Of Wall street, and the market is left almost
entirely to the jobbers by profession 1t s evident,
however, that the quantity Of floating stock IN the
street is smaller than il was six months ago. there
being positive scarcity Of some descriptions and no
superabundance of any. It's problem often mooted
among the street operators az to what has become OF
the large amounts of stock which were floating about
Wall street Some the bears free oferers to-day
Of their options and long options were notfreey taken
There appears TO be no bull effort at present either
ain the general market any particular stock,
the principal support of the market coming from the
bears themselves in buying in 81 or stock. The tend
ency Of the Money market to higher rates had un-
doubtedy influence to-day in adding to the heavy
and dull feeling prevalent and Western Shares were
also affected by the frost rumors which 1t was feared
might interfere with the Fall traffic of the roads, by
cutting off portion of the crops. The feature d Ne
day was the heavy fall in Reading, of which 900
shares sold at the Second Board at 35l having opened
at 3sg in the morning. 1t is understood that another
failure Of bull operator has taken place IN Phadel-
phia. The Pbiladephians have bought mp nearly the
whole Of this stock, as they did Long Issnd; and it
now appears probable that they will be obliged to
keep it, In Central the market fairly active, but
the stock lost y cent during the day. The further
reduction Of fares by the Pennsylvania Central,
which the New-York Central will probably follow,
had an uniavorable influence. Pacific Mail shows
further cline selling at 69 but closing rather
firmly Panama offered freely by the bears on
long options 1t was firm at the close at llsI bid.
Eiie was inactive at 81; Harlem 10, aud the
Preferred stock, 80. The receipts of May show a
vssy large gain on May of last year. The decline in
the Western shares was general Galena & cent;

Central, q cent; Illinois Central, / y cent, &c.
The bull in Toledo who put the stock up to 2s,,
we understand to have sold out Michigan South
ern Guaranteed sold below 80 but afcrward recovered
to that price bid. The publicity of tue loss made by
the Union Bank gave a shock To bank stocks geuer-
ally, and they in many offered at lower
figures. The stock of the Union Bank sold 9s,
which is a considerable decline previous quota

fined mainly to State stocks, which were steady A
small sale Of Government IS was made at l0i a slight
