FRIDAY, june 2i-P. "


There was further decline to-day in most OF the
leading Railway stocks aud the market still retains
an aspect of duness and anguor quite unsatisfactory
TO the members of the Stock Exchange. The largest
purchasers Of the day were for short account-a fact
which argues unfavcrably for any present Improve
ment, when this important support to falling market
proves insufficient to arrest decline. The gradual
closing up of sot contracts at the reduced quotations
established will tend to the further restriction OF
speculative transactions many of the prominent
stocks owing a good share of their activity to the
operations % the bulls and bears in time contracts.
small sale of Norwich and Worcester was made at
&C. The dealings in New-York Central were
larger than for several days, the stock op'n-
ing at %. on the first call, but finally settling
down to - at tle close. Harlem was pressed for
sale with considerable freedom and declined to

Reading w,s one of the frmest stocks dealt in, aud
was very well maintained in the morning at i2i, but
in the at ernoon gave way little, and sold down to
81, in final transactions. There has been some effort
mace here for a few days past to give this stock
more prominent position among the speculative cards
of the street but the movement, which probably
originated in Philadelphia, to drag al present
points. There is but little disposition either on the
Vait Of bulls or bears 10 make new contracts IN II.
Michigan Central was freely supplied both for cash
and on time and declined TO 5si, at which It held
for the remainder of the day. The annual meeting of
the stockholders takes place on Monday in De-
troit, and the report Of the years business
will then be given. Michigan Southern common
stock declined to and the guaranteed TO 27..
The transactions were not large in either, but all
the SALES were Of cash stock in the morning, which
is rather unusual. Galeua and Rock Island were
steady with limited business in each, and decline of
in the latter. Toledo sold at from PSI TO 2j3-a de-
cline of from quotations o. yesterday. Tie market
continues firm for State stocks, with very well dis
tributed business for the day. Mssouri's were $751;
