From this point up to the close Of business for the

strongest stock dealt in, and sold as high Soi

options. The Western shares were steady in the
morning but became quite dull at the Second
Board, and were supplied freely at the lowest
figures registered. Southern guaranteed advanced

The Bold market Is steady, but not active. Prices
chow no important change for the day The sPscula-

The Fulton Bank has declared semi annual dvi-
dend Of FIVE per cent. payable on the Let of Noyem-
ber H. Money there is 40 chenge to-day. The ten
dercy is towards increasing ease, ana the supply
call grows more abundant at js7 y cent. The
Banks are rather disposed to take long paper.
A meeting Of the stockholders of the Atlantic aud
Pacific Steamship Company was held this day, at the
corner If Yves, aud Warren streets, pursuant to
notice for the election Of directors when the following
gentlemen we're elected, viz: c. Vanderbilt, NJ. q.
Roberts, Moses Taylor, W. X. ThoIn, and IL. +.
Clark. C. Vanderbilt was elected President.
The shipment Of specie to day about g. 10000,
of which more th an one half was silver. The rumor
of tefalcat in the Bank Of the Republic which we
oontradcted yesterday, probably based upon the
fact that package of So 500 10 bills charged in the
exchanges OF the metropolitan Bank TO the Bank of
ftte Republic, is missing. The package may yet

tweeL the city banks, without being connected in any
manner W.T., embszzlement or fraud. We have Of
cis authority for sta,og that there is no truth what
ever In the rumor Of any deficit in the back.
