| Early transactions at the Stock Board were
! marked by fair degree of steadness, but ate
| passing New. York Central the market appeared
somewhat unsettled again, and prices for the remain
| der of the session had a slightly downward ten
dency. For two days appearances have favored Inc
anticipation Of reaction, and many of the operator
! of the Board have shaped their movements accord
ingly; but notwithstanding the sales of parties who
| have been realizing profits, and a moderate demon
stration on the part OF the bears, there has as YET
been no essential check to the upward course of tbs
market This morning there was an increase o
time orders at the Board, apparently from outsiders
| but they were filled without difficulty and the offer
iDgs Of stock were CROUCH in excess Of the demand
to give hesitsting appsa rance to the market Soof
| after the adjournment however, there was fresh
movement for the rise in the street and before the
Second Board commenced its session, prices for one or
two of the leading stocks such as New-fork Central
| Gslena and Rock Island, had nearly rallied to the
| starting point of the morning The most prominent
| movement of the day was in Pacih, Mail, which
from 49, in the morning, went up to 81 IN the alter
| moor and was afterward sold as high a. 81. The
| purchases are supposed TO be for snort account,
as il is known that quite large number oi con
tracts mature about this time There lie an impress
sion also, that the opposition line OF Commodore va
