FRIDAY, March lS-P. N.

Tie Stock market was quite blue to day and the
be,rs seemed to have everything their own way. The
amount of business transacted at the FRS. Board was
unusually small and there was but little exertion m.de
to sustain the market which now lsngushes, not only
from the lack Of outside support bat from the with
drswd Of the bull clique recently operating for the
rise. The leading Railway shares show small de-
clre during the day, but the depression is not i'm
portant compared with closing prices OF yesterday
TIE largest transactions Of the morning were in New
York Central, Michigan Central, Galens and Rock
Islard-of which the fret two were to.e,aby firm,
while for the lsst named there was slight
decline. Illinois Central was maintained during
the call, and at the close was quoted fraction
better. The dealings in Resipg were limited,
but in the afternoon prices were cent
lower. Pscifc M.il sold at ~, and was firm through
the day. In the Afternoon there was slight decline
in Galers, Rock Island and Toledo and fall Of per
cent in Michigan Southern guaranteed. Michigan
Central sold q. 5ll 5. 30, and steady. The net
earnings Of this road, for the three months, end
ing February q, exceed the estimates about
$1,000, which s enough to mske the July dividend
almost matter Of certainty. The Board transactions
Of the day very small and quotations were about
the same for State Stocks gwen yesterday. Tennes
sees declined !. Some Of the Western Railway share,
sppesr to manifest especial weakness, and notxith-
standing decline Of TO per cent stll freely
offered at the lower quotations; among these are Tos-
do ard Michigan Southern, which have no doubt been
sold down. partly in Anticipation of division OF traffic
over the rev line to Chicsgo via the Pennsylysnis
Central ard Fort Wayne roads. II IS unfortunate for
al OF these trunk lines which compete for Western
business tia. they should be obliged TO quarrel at
time when there is much lees than usual to fight for.
After the Board sales of the leading socks were male
at eight concession from the osest points touched
at the Second Board, and the market was very weak
and dull. The closing prices were For Missouri 6',
So ass Canton Co., l9i eos Cumberland Coal Co.

IL our illusions 70 tie Bank returns, yesterday We
were led Into the Of making comparison Of de-
posts without reference the change which has besu
made IN the mode Of making the returns. Thus our
comparison taking in instance the gross deposits
from the table, and in the other the net undrsEn de-
posits gave decline altogether greater than has
actually occurred. The figures were taken hastily
IRON our usual table Of returns and the was very
evident As soon as i appeared in type.
