SECOND BosRD.
TUESDAY. MAY Up. Y.

The Stock market to-day did not exhibit the actV-
ty which has marked il for several days past, bnt was
quite strong in the leading fancies at the morning
session. Some of the Western shares were quite
buoyant and cash Stock was much wanted There
are symptoms of equalization Of the bull clements
of the Board into clique for an upward movement,
and the members Of the Board are much more
equally divided hetwren the hull and bear move
ment than they were before the recent sus-
pension. There was not much seriou7 re-
sistance to-day to the operations Of the bull
clique, if clique there be, and most Of the chronic
bears Of the stock arena appear not unwilling to all
rlse by inaeton in order to make better market to
sell on The bear iuteres, feels that the decline which
he's been going on for some weeks past has brought
the market values Of many stocks to point where il
is dangerous to go short and urge number OF snort
contracts have been closed mp within a few days.
Many operators also disposed to wait the receipt
Of later foreign adyices and TO learn the effect of
actual hostiliiies upon the London stock and
money markets before taking any decided
stand upon either side There is some outside move
menf but the purchases and sales appear 10 be nearly
balanced y. Y. Central has been quite steady dur
ing the day and closes at the opening price IL was
stated in the afternoon that the Albany powers have
disagreed 70 the proposed arrangement with the other
lines TO the West Panama improved to lSi closing
at ll8 bid The business OF the Road for April Is not
vet made up but viii show earnings Of about sl"oOeo
against <l32 eco in April, 1853, increase OF $4,000.
This is very large the largest earnings we believe any
month since the completion Of the road The busi-
ness Of MAY promises TO show equally favorable
result. Pacific Mail was firm, selling at ~ eX diyi-
dehd, equal to 81, The negotiations with Mr. Van
deIbilt are, for the time, abandoned. The obstacle
TO the contamination of the proposals of last week ap
pears to be the impOssibty of getting the stock of
the new Company subscribed. Gaeua was strong,
and went to o., but afterward weaker, being Of
fered at 6il. The deliveries of Rock Island
continue to be make with difficulty, and
cash stock sold as high as Gi. At the
Second Board il was lower, selling at o3t, but was
again firmer in the street, 63l being bid Michigan
Central advanced to 10, It which the market was well
sustained in closing transactions, Notwithstanding the
large falling off shown by the report Of the earnings
of the first week of May. Toledo was stcndy at !'j
27l. Southern Preferred was in better demand, and
