SECOND BOARD.
FRIDAY. Nov. 25-P. NJ.


FRIDAY, Nov. 25-P. N.
The Stock market was again quite active to-day, and
the dealings were very well distributed through the
share list but az for several days past, the movements
have been very eceentric-some cocks moving upward
with unusual vigor whileothers have dragged through
the sessions of the Board with but little change in
prices The market owes it, present speculative ae-
tivity mainly to the unexpected and very rapid move
ments in Panama and Pacific Mail stocks, which have
not only alarmed the shorts but have drawn the aten
ton Of spectators other stocks The excitement III
Pacific Mail continues and the fluctuations have been
violent during the day, resulting, however,
in large advance The first sales at SO in the
morning. but the stock came out freely, and 1t was
sold down 10 81 on the call, although rather better
again at the elose. Between the sessions it was heavy
again and was sold as low as S33. At the Second
Board there was another rush for the stock and BE-
fore the adjournment it sold SO. Later in the day
fresh orders for the purchase of stock were sent In
and there was further advance TO 81, which was bid
at the close. The report ia quite current in the
street that settlement between the Company and
Commodore Vanderbilt has been agreed upon,
but az TO the nature of the arrangement, no
one seems to be informed and the whole affair appears
TO be very mysterious. In Panama there was de-
cine OF lTOm iuVt"dVhSj anu 'HNiS
was considerable eagerness to sell stock The infer
ence is that settlement of the quarrel between the
two steamship lines is considered favorable to the
Panama road upon the ground that higher passenger
fares will at once reduce the number Of passengers,
and at the same time the receipts of the railway The
transactions in New-York Central were large, and
the stock was very firm during the day-the
highest point touched was sig, and that
price was bid at the close. Hudson River
and Harlem Preferred were steady, and both trmer
AT the Second Board. There was brisk demand for
Erie, but the transactions were quite limited In the
afternoon sales were made at Gan advance OF IL
cent during the day. Reading was in de mand, with
but moderate dealings the stock closing at 40 at the
Second Board. The Western shares were generally
firm but without material improvement and for Ga
lena and Rock Island prices gave way slightly on the
second call of the morning session. The business OF the
Galena, for the third week in November, shows
gain Of but 81 200, and this return has oceasloned
considerable disappointment. The Michigan Roads
were firm, and slightly BETTER but the changes
as compared with prices Of Wednesday are scarcely
worth especial notice. There was fair business IN
Delaware and Hudson, and q slight Improvement the
stock selling at from 1901 10 1901 in the afternoon The
trade in bond securities not large State stocks
were frmer but not quotsbly higher There was
yery brisk inquiry and material advance in the mort
gage bonds of the Erie road the first mortgage advanc-
ing 10 90 bid the third to II, and the fourth TO d.
The Improvement in these securities well as IN the
stock owing to the recent arrangement in regard 70
the floating debt and of interest 10 which we
alluded on Thursday. AT the Second Board
