FRIDAY, FEB. LIP. v.
There was slight pause in the speculative move
mens for the advance this orDiog, az the Stock EK-
change and quotations for msjority Of the prominent
stocks lower during the seson oftle Fret Board,
and after tie adjournment, though slightly better
sgsin in the afternoon. The parties operating for the
rse were rather inactive until the Second Bosri and
seemed disposed to let the market take It's natural
course for the time. In the afternoon, however, pur-
chas's were renewed fer the same account, but not
with decided yigor ard the market wss checked
for the momen. 10 its declining movement
There is no real change in the outs de tone
a. 10 stock speculation yet, and the commGslql-
houses complain of unusual inactivity. The present
course of the msrket appears TO rest mainly upon
the courage and persistence Of the new Bal
party; bat il is evident that to bring in the
public to the aid of the movement s not 20 be "a easy
tsk One Of the most interesting features of the day
was fresh and active attack upon Reading which,
after resting quietly for several dsys, seems now dee.
tined again to occupy something of its former promi-
nence as speculative card. Sales at the Fret Board
were made to the extent OF 1850 shares qu)tatons
touching AZ for regular stock and IL sellers option
Contracts In the afternoon there further sales
OF eco shares at Az d for oash stock decline of
q cent during the day. We hear no particular cause
assigned cr this decline. The Pnladepbians are said
to be buyers again. The next stock in point ofspeou-
lative interest was the Pac'tc Mail Company, which
was quite active with an upward tendency,
through the day. Sales in the morning were At from
741 074l and the quotations were net much changed
at the Second Board but after the adjournment the in
qSy was more brisk and the bids mp to 15 az the
close. The advance is probably simaleted by an im-
preston which prevails among some of its friends that
a compromise between the rival parties will be st.
fected Eew.York Central in the face Of its y cent
dividend just declared wss very dull and at the Sec
oDd Board declined TO 7sl, though atsrward shade
better. in the Western shares there was moderate
decline all round, with fair amount OF business in

sequence, but tie bidding prices were little under
