morning. The market little irregular, and the
activity mainly confined 10 New-iurk Central, al
which the egstered transactions reached some 1,OOO
shares, the opening and closing prices showing not
more than T. cent difference. There were also sales
Of l.CCO or 1900 shares not registered, on sellers
options a portion of which were by a leading bear
house toward the close of the session, which had al
uLfavorable effect. The bear interests have been
active during the day, and appear to press the market
with nearly the same freedom rs when stocks were >
y cent higher There have been doubtless large
amount of shorts covered within the past two weeks,
but the condition Of the market thus far this week
has tempted operators for the fall put ont new Ines
OF the time sales to-day $3.50 shares were on sellers
options and about I 600 shares on buyers options
The continued competition o the four great lines to
the West aud rumors Of further reduction IN rates

close was offered low AS Il, seller 90. There was
rumor at the Penn yyania Central had reduced The
pa -enger fare TO Cleveland 81, which would force
the Central and Erie TO make a corresponding reduc-
ton Il is stated that the time table oi the Central
will be shortened some two hour between this city
aud Cleveland To counterfeit this movement measure

upon cattle also have been reduced. and droves have
arrived n this city, brought from Chicago VIA the
Fort Wayar tie eunsylyauia Central, and Camden

will probably have favorable influence upon other
