FRIDAY, Mach 4-P.M
ne stock market wss sluggish in opening transactions
to-day, but the sdvces from Washington Of the pas
s.rs Of the Treasury Note bill had favorable inh1-
s,se and the better feeling was still farther improved
when the sctual adjournment of Congress was Gu
.sueed This removed the Cuba incubus and the
ether phantoms which have during the session fright
s.sS the sous of the bulls and strengthened the hands
Of We bears and leaves the market TO the usual specu
hAive and monetary influences. The majority
Of tbe members of the Board look upon the marks for
Ne present month rising one and the shorts, IN
ssr the same impression have, TO large extent re-
sslAy covered their contracts. The most sapg1ine
bsll however, looks for only moderate advance, and
Nat 10 come slowly as the improving traffic of the
ysIhoads ss the Spring advances will justify. The
1sIk have easy money market, and the gradual re-
ssveIy Of general prosperity In their favor, while
the absence Of any important amount of
shsrts TO be bought in, and the movement
e speeie TO Europe and into the Sub Treasury for the
psnainder Of the late loan elements which favor
- bear interest. The scarcity Of orders to buy among
Ne Commission houses is very severe drag upon tue
uarie forcing the parties operating for the rseto sus
hin prices by buying more freely than they otherwise
vsnd. However stated before, the general i'm
preston is that fair Improvement will take place IN
narket values during the month, and several OF the
most prominent operators IN the board
as acting upon this impression with no
important opposition TO their movements. Central
continues active opening at 800 and advancing to SID
sssing at Slt bid. Some attempt was made to depress
The stock by urging loss Of traffic by the reduction Of
saAal tolls, bat the attempt did no. succeed There
was no registered sale Of Erie, but the stock co lld
have been bought at III. The action OF the Board
svSsaIs to have had bad effect upon the stock. 1t
b ssv stated that II a. the Buffalo meeting the ar
rsssements between the four routes to the West are
bsshen up, the Erie and Central Roads will make
q agreement by which New York will secure the bust
psss Of the West which belongs to her. Hudson River
vss frm. Harlem Preferred advanced to 39l bid.
The buyers Of this stock look for resumption OF q
cant dividends in 1860, with some arrangement OF the
sssunulated unpaid dividends, nov amounting to
about IS v cent. The Company, we understand, adj
n their liability for these unpaid dividends, and that
IN the net earnings Of the road must be ap'
ppsyfisted to their liquidation when the payment
e sarrent dividends is resumed. The market was
bssyant for Panama, which went up to l73 For
Pseike Mail the market was strong under sdvices from
Wellington that the Company would obtain an extern
sss ef their mail contract for two years. After the
announcement that the Post Office bill had been lost

ssge by the Vanderbilt line has been reduced to 800
