srCOtD BOARD.
THURSDAY. MAY l9-P. ".

The stock market was IdIly dcuVe iVuay; ouu
irregular but without any marked feature, excepting
in the large transactions and fluctuations IN New-forK
Central of which sales of some 1900 shares were reg
istered at the First Bovrd. The market opened a. |
but. under considerable resistance from the bears,
closed at 722. After the Board the rumor was quite
cprent that the Central and Erie Companies had
arrived at satisfactory basis Of arrangement and the
market became very buoyant, two or three
thousand shares changing hands up TO "a, ncluding
LOCO shares at 732, seller ten days. AT the Second
Board the advance was not sustained, 1t becoming
known that no agreement had been made between the
two roads and after the Second Board the priee re-
ceded to the point it started from, 7, after which
there was slight rally, and 72l was bid. The trans
actions of the day were probably 10000 shares, and
the aggregate fluctuations q T. cent. The entire
movement appears TO have been piece of shrewd
street engineering. Delaware and Hudson
among the heaviest stocks, selling down to
81. Pacific Mail was not active, and fell 10
IA The bear movement in this stock is much
less active than of late. The negotiations between
the Company and the opposition line suspended,
and low fares will prevail for some time to come,
much TO the advantage Of the Panama Road. Cum
berand was not offered below III. The gossip of the
street in regard to dividend of this year, has Off
cal sanction. The decision of the Circuit Court OF
Allegany County, Maryland making the injunction
on the Hoffman Coal Company perpetual, is a great
point gained in the recovery of this valuable pro-
perty. Reading was heavy at 45a. In the West
ern shares the transactions moderate, and quota
tions generally tended downward. Galsna was 63s
against Ga yesterday There is active canvass for
proxies going on, growing out Of desire with
parties to bring about a change in the Presidency
and Direction. Michigan Central drags under the
heavy falling off in receipts. Illinois Central con
tinues to decline selling low 6il seller sixty.
The scarcity Of cash stock continues to sustain Rock
Island, and cash stock has been lent al cent per
day. The price advanced to 63, with good demand.
The movement in State stocks is large and the bears
are selling in the expectation Of a more stringent:
money market, and the calling in of loans which will
thrGy these stocks on the market. The transactions
add up $2I3, ,O00 Of which $l5l 900 were Missouri IS
which closed at s3l bid. Governments are lOiia
lOls. Railroad bonds not active and are heavy
