There was no feature of marked interest in the Stock
market to-day. Prices were irregular, and neither
the bull OF bear obbers appeared disposed to operate
with any energy or boldness. The market is entirely
in their hands, the business of the regular commission
houses being smaller in the more speculative class OF
stocks than for long time. OF Railroad shares il Is
ouite certain that the public and have been for
year past selling more than they buying. Central
has been firm during the day, the impression being
strengthened that nothing be done at Albany DUR
ing the present session to interfere with its traffic. 1t
opened at 7OJ and closed at 70s bid. The January
business shows about the same gain az that OF De-
cember. about 500 00O Reading is well sustained un-
der orders from Philadelphia. New-YOrk operators
have but little interest in it. Hudson River was
steady, and rather active than OF late Pacific
Mail again advanced selling 80 a. the Second Board.
The result of the business of the three months ending
lat January is said to be s36 600 profit but with how
much, if any, allowance for depreciation Of boats,
&C.. we do not hear. Panama is also buoyant under
the probable continuance Of the present opposition,
which brings large business to it, The earnings of
December, we understood, were about sl73,OOO
against sl3O 900 in December 1885, and January also
shows very large increase. The last steamer had
more freight offered than she couldtake The Western
shares were in fair demand, and generally rm Gaena
was an exception, ceiling at 57i. Southern Guaranteed
continues to improve, and advanced to l4I, having
been 12I on Monday. At the Second Board the trans
actions were quite limited, but quotations were well
sustained and the market, on the whole had an i'm
proving tone. The firmness in Government and State
stocks noticed yesterday con nues without very large
activity. Missouri 6s improved to SO3 Tennessee Us
to $751; and CALIFORNIA; TO &c. Railroad bonds OF the
