The dullness of the Stock market continues, and
ses have been quite irregular. The apprehension
felt in regard to the of the approaching debates
in Congress have undoubtedly had effect in
checking the speculation for the rise and in emboden-
ing the bear iobbers and this influence has been
materially assisted by the less favorable reports from
the traffic of the Western roads. The features Of the
market to-day were the fall in Galena of cent and
the new inward turn Of Pacific Mail, which, from 10

any time that an arrangement has been made by which
the presen disastrous competition will be abandoned
and as the parties to the arrangement will hold the
winning cards it is evident that the only safety OF
outsiders in the stock is to avoid dealing in such
a dangerous commodity Pacific Mail stock. The
most skiful player must go to the wall when playing
against loaded dice. The decline in Galenas ascrbedto
the competition which has sprung up between this cor

and was sold down after the Second Board to 6o4
asainst II ON Saturday. The other Western shares
were without important change. Illinois Central was
quite firm under the impending call of 10 cent, being
sustained by the favorable appearance of the trac,
which showed $4,000 increase in November. New
York Central was well sustained until after
the Second Board, when 1t sold at SO, after

Reading, without being active, were steady. In State
Stocks, the only important transaction was sale OF
20 600 Virginias at 49, buyer sixty. As the semi-a-
nual interest payment is nearly due, this brings Viz
ginas to a low point. Missouris are heavy under the
recommendation of Gov. Stewart that the unissued
bonds authorized by the Constitution be given
TO the railroads to aid in their completion
Railroad bonds were very quiet and heavy. The
Erie Is,nes were lower. After the Second Board the
