THURSDAY, Dec. S-P. NJ.

The stock market this morning opened with
good deal Of frmness, stimulated by the foreign
news which considered quite favorable,
especially for American securities. The private
letters were cheerful, both in regard
to financial and political matters, and the amount of
orders 10 purchase stocks and bonds larger than
for some time back As the call proceeded, however,
the fuppy Of stock appeared 10 be quite equal TO the
demand, and sellers options were of, red more
freely. The consequence was the market be-
came weaker, and at the close lower prices were
in some descriptions established and the market closed
heavy In Pacific Mail there DO registered sales,
very marked change from the recent activity IN this
stock Wecannot learn, after dgent inquiry, that any
new negotiations Of an official character are going on
between the two parties competing for the California
business. In New-York Central the transactions were
numerous and the market improved cent, fro yes
terday The books now closed for the election OF
Directors The Philadelphia movement in Reading con-
tnues but the stock was not very firm. Mr. McCamont
we understand has a scheme for the payment
of the bonds due in 1860, but the terms are
not satisfactory to the Company. Hudson Riv-
er advanced to 49, The most interesting fea-
ture of the day was the Improvement in Illinois Gen.
trail; il opened at 60, having been SO yesterday, and
only receded y cent during the session. The trans
actions registered reach $500 shares which is an I'M
usually large business. The improvement was the re-
suit of the advance Of cent in London, advised by
the Persia and BY the tone of the English letters The
| parties in interest there are highly satisfied
with the recen, reports of the traffic Of the road and
the selling out has been 20 great degree suspended
Considerable further payments Of $40, TO make full
stock have been made and the policy of calls upon
the street instead of temporary loans, heartily in
dorsed In reson this Stock, Satterthwaite says;
" Illinois shares have advanced from Al 70 ~ dls-
count since the announcement that the English Com
miitee had advised the Board Of Directors IN New
York TO make call of $40 q share, payable TO the
is believed be in accordance with the views Of the
Board hence the call is regarded as q definite thing
The Debenture Bonds are much wanted 10 pay the
call as also are the Free-Land Bonds by parties des
rous of paying mp in full"
The Western shares generally were favoraby az
eeted by the advance in Illinois Central, but subse-
ouently lost some of their bu oyancy. Galena fell off
to ISL Michigan Central was in demand at 40, which
il = cent better. In Rock Island with fair activity
there was no important change. At the Second Board
prices were generally steady but the impetus Of the
morning Board was lost. The bear jobben showed
more inclination to put out contracts, but there
| was no pressure of stock ON the market
The changes in quotations were unmportant. After
cline of al p cent for the prominent fances. The
Bond market to-day has been frmer and virgnias i'm
proved 10 92y, with some disposition to put out seller
sixty contracts at 9l. Missouris were steady at 3d.
The market for virginas has been unfavoraby affected
by the recommendation of Gov. Wise to loan 600 600
TO various works of internal Improvement. There was
bu, little doing in Railroad Bonds excepting in Illinois
Central. which are better. The closing prices were
