TUESDAY, Nov. l5-P. VI.


Movements al the Stock Exchange to-day developed
singular state of the Inarket-a large share OF the
stocks which figure most prominently in the street
specuations, hanging apparently at rresoute points
of the market with but petty fluctuations from day TO
dav. while for one or two stocks there is brisk de-
mand ard a very decided upward movement The
most important of these last, is in the stock OF the
Panama Railroad which from l25 jumped up to 10 at
the First Board and in the afternoon sold "a high as
1873 an advance of per cent during the day; the
purchases have no doubt been suggested by the large
business of the road and the prospects OF It's contnu
ance The short interest in the stock has contributed
10 accelerate the rise ALSO and the advance OF the day
has been established without unusually large ransac-
tons There are rumors of an extra dividend, and 1t
is certain that parties have been buying to-day who
are in position to know the value OF the stock
The Times of this morning says:
"Tbe rise we understand 20 be based not only on
the approach of the January yearly dividend,
but upon the annual financial showing OF the Com
pany The authorized capital is s5OOO,Wu and the
minded debt 50 GG0 600. OF the latter the Company
have raid off from their accumulated surplus ana SINK

Island. and Michigan Central were steady, without
much change in prices, although upon the whole a
trHe frmer in the afternoon. Illinois Central declined

u,ed business in State Stocks and Railway Bonds with
