TUESDAY, May 3l-P VI.
The general Stock market to-day presents much
the same features as yesterday There is great ab-
sence Of outside business, the commission houses be-
ing very quiet We think the orders to buy from the
public are smaller than they have been at any time
within n year. The losses of the last year or Two
have been go severe that until some marked and sus-
tanned Improvement takes place in the market the
confidence of outsiders cannot be resuseltated.
Another cause of the present duness OF the market
is that large number of short contracts have been
closed up and many OF the prominent nesrs
are ndsposed 10 put out new short lines ut the present
comparatively low prices They prefer TO wait further
foreign advices and the effect here The bear move
ment lust now appears to be confined 10 quick turns
Cash stock of Central was more plenty to-day, and he
market dragged closing finally at 12, against '3s yes
terday. The announcement made that the Erie
receipts for April show falling off of over $4,000
had an unfavorable effect upon Central as the infer
ence s that road has done but little better. The
difference between sellers options and regular in this
stock are still large but deliveries much more
easily made to-day than yesterday The offers to sell
Pacific Mail on long options continued to day. but the
market was irmer for cash stock, and It improved to
| II. after touching 20 sale made at 6', seller
sixty. The price of steerage passage has been re-
duced TO $50 by Com. Vanderbilt, which must attract
large emigration. Panama sold at llSl closing taat
price bio, II9 asked. An attempt was made to bear
| this stock by stating Com. Vanderbilt was about TO
omen the Nicaragua route under grant he has got
| hold Of. Cumberland Coal was firm, and advanced
70 10 Delaware and Hudson and Pennsyl lvania Coal
were both offered on sellers options al large differ
ences from the cash prices. Illinois Central was
| steady A few stockholders have already expressed
the intention of paying mp the $40 Cancelled Install
mept on their stock The Western shares were
| heavy and lower in nearly every csse. Rock Island
sold down to S and was offered at that at the close
Toledo was also very heavy at POI. Michigan Cen
tra sold at Az and Galeua at 63s. The condition oi
the traffic on these Western roads is not calculated to
nspire the public with desire to buy them upon the
chances of better business this Fall. In the Boni
| market the transactions were TO moderate eN-
| tent. and the market generally s heavy. Tue

The transactions in foreign bills for the Boston
steamer have been comparatively moderate, and a
very large portion of the purchases has been OF short
sight bills. the demand for Exchange appear to be
less active than last week aud under the distrust felt
in regard TO commercial signatures, the market is
nearly monopolized by the bankers. In quotations
there is no change.
