CVNnE'RCLAL MATTERS.


Tie Stock NOV mcns were agaiu quite irregular at
tie Board to-day, some of the leading speculative
share. holing very Grm and rather improving quo
tation- while others were heavy and neglected. Tue
lsrecst operations were ia New-lork Central ROCS
Island and Tolcdo, but a, The First Board there
no marked change in prices, except for Rock Island,
which declined to III for cash stock on the call, bat
WAS slightly irrner at the close. The shares were
,ifercd freely on short sellers options at large differ
cuce- but there appaieuty 10 disposition to sus-
tamil e stock in this wav For the time, the corner
in this stock seems to ,ve lost much of its sharpness
but The cash stock Is still quite scarce. Toledo was
firm, and in the afternoon jumped up to ?'i, which
was bid at the close. Panama and Pacific MaIl were
both in good demand during tue day, and in the after
noon sales of both were made at handsome advance
over quotations Of the morning. Tho Bond move
mtnt was limited except IN Ms-ours and Virsiuias,
both Of which were steady at quotations.. AT the
Sccol Board the market generally very firm; but
two or three stocks seem to be very much neglected
Among tnesc was Reading which has been very duh
and heavy during the day, selling down to ~ in the
afternoon and closing very Hat at the quotation. The
demand for Pacific Mail and Panama quite splr-
tied stimulated probably by the failure Of the parties
interested in the Tehuantepoc route, and the delay oi
the mail contractor under the recent award IN making
good hi. smctic-. Panama was liy, freely bid and
Pacific Mail7jb bid. Mich. Central was in demand at T..
