SECOND BOARD.
TUESDAY, Dec. 4-P. NJ.

The features of the Stock market to-day are much
the same AZ those which have characterized 1t for
week past without change of importance, the specu
latiye shares are from to y cent lower, with very
little disposition either to buy SELL There are very
few orders among the Commission houses, and the
bears who are willing to sell find but little market for
their options The business is mostly confined to pur-
chasers TO cover shorts and few lots by hopeful out
siders who have money, and think the market has
touched the lowest point of depression. Between
the Boards business was suspended while
awaiting the Presidents Message. AT the Sc
cond Board there was the same disposition to
operate. and the transactions almost entirely
confined to cash shares. One or two prominent bears
offered their options freely but found few buyers The
tendency of prices was downward, and tho Western
share were especially heavy. After the regular session
there was better feeling growing partly out OF the
tone of the Message and Central touched 75s. 1t was
afterwards offered at 75l. State Stocks were also
heavy again. Missouri 6s fell off to 90, and Tennessee
