COMMERCIAL MATTERS.

"WEDNESDAY, Nov. UP. v.
The Stock market has been irregular and unset
tied during the day, but upon the whole has had
downward movement. The breakdown in Pacific
Mail has had serious effect upon the market, and the
decline in other stocks has been in some degree symPa-
thetc, like as the previous advance. The Harpers
Ferry agitation has possibly had some adverse inau-
ence on the market aso, and little more activity in
money has contributed some what to the general
business. The main features of the market
has been the continuation of the reaction in Pacific
Mail with large transactions, especially at tho Second
Board, when nearly 5000 shares sold. The
market opened in the morning at 81 but declined on
moderate amounts of stock to 81. At the Second
Board it fell of rapidly to 50, at which 900 shares
were taken to cover shorts and after selling ct 79i il
recovered to so Bid. The decline has been l3l y
cent from the highest point since Saturday The
of the decline of the past day two is understood to
be hitch in the negotiations with Commodore Wander
bilt. In addition to the terms ratified st Friday, by
the Pacific Mail Directors, we hear that Dir. Van
derbt row requires the individual guaranty Of
the Directors that there shall be no opposition
tablished BY any one on the Pacific or that the
a. OOO eco paid by him shall not be divided among the
stockholders bat retained to be returned to him in
case such opposition is established. He also requires
that the Panama Road shall agree, in any oppO-
ston is est ablished the Atlantic, 10 carry his pas
sengers at lower rate Of fare than those Of the oppo
siton line OF course the Directors of the Pacific Mail
are not disposed give the guaranty desired and the
negotiations for the present drag. Panama was firm at
