Tuesday. Feb. 7-P.

The Stock Market this morning. with fair amount
Of transactions, was irregular, and without much
speculative stamina. The quotations. in most cases,
showed but trifing change from yesterday, the prn
cipal exception being Pacific Mail, which, opening at
go fell off to 70. There appears to be great ndecsion
in the movement of operators most of them buying
and selling quick time, If lacking confidence in
the action of the market in the immediate future. The
principal demonstration of the bears to-day was d.
rected against the Western shares. The traffic of the
Western roads, although showing increase does
not appear to be satisfactory and Of Galena especially
the market was oversuppGed with sellers options.
Even with the impending ease in the money market
from Government disbursements, and the great doubt
resting upon the passage of the ProRata and Toll bills
in our Legislature the bulls do not appear to possess
courage enough to resist effectively the downward
tendency of the market. The quotations, however
are at points where they yield very slowly. Central
was steady in the morning at 70, but became weaker
in closing transactions selling 701; Reading was ore
active than of late and was under purchases for Pha
delphia account sustained at 80. Erie in demand st
81 az On English orders. The steamer tomorrow will
take out about 5000 shares and considerable amount
of the Bonds of this Company. Panama was in good
demand, and had an upward tendency. At the morn
ing Board the Western shares sold at about yesterdays
prices. AT the Second Board the market generally
was heavy, and the bears showed more courage than
of late, especially in offering the Western shares.
Michigan Southern Guaranteed, however, was an ex-
ception and was in demand at l3s. Panama was also
hrmer In the Bond market there ID fair demand for
the better classes, and full prices are bid. Govern
ment De BETTER 1909 being bid for Coupons of 1874
The registered are held at l0l State Stocks not
very active, but firm. The best class of Railroad
Bonds have an improving appearance, although the
transactions are not large There appears TO be
return of public confidence TO this description Of secur
ty. The Coal shares are steady. Cumberland sold
at 49, and Pennsylvania Coal at s.. The dividend to
be declared in a few days, understood, will be 80
cent. The closing prices Virginia 6s, 92l; Mis-
