Paci6c Mail advanced to 70, and was in brisk dsmsnt
during the session and Michigan Southern went up to
49,, but was aiterwsrd fraction lower. Gaena and
Rock leland were without essential change The
latest accounts from the West represent the wagon
roads to be almost impossible, account of heavy
rains which have recently fslen and some diminuton
of business is anticipated this account. The trade
in Bonds was unusually small at both sessions OF the
Board. Missouri &c declined /. California went down
to 49, in conse queDce of the difficulty which has arisen
in regard to the refusal to pay interest on the
bonds referred to yesterday. Some o. the brokers, we
understand have been sued by purchasers of these dis
puted bonds and the difficulty threatens to have &C.
routly prejudcisl effect upon the market value and
