MONDAY, Jan. l6-P. ".


There ,rss no mportant feature in the stock market
to-day, with the exception Of the rmness in Western
shares at the morning board The impression that the
House will soon organize, and the growing ease ia
money msstere, had a tendency to induce some pur'
cbases bv the bulls, and the bears did not appear Dis
posed TO offer any resistance to upward movement.
The short interest of the street has been moe ycoyered
and the policy Of the bear jobbers is to aid rise
rather than resist one in order TO be enabled to sell on
better market The impression seems to be general
that como further reaction may naturally be looked Tor
after the considerable decline we have had, notTith'
standing some intrinsic elements of the market are
opposed TO higher prices. The bears have had
possesejon of the market for weeks, and RAINY
alvsvs follows such state of thinge. The absence
Of any general outside speculation however sa great
obstace TO any sustained RISE although clique move
mens in different stocks may bring about consider
sble advance. At the Second Board the market was
strong at the opening with good demand for buyers
ontions estecialy in Rock Island but the market was
attacked with considerable energy by the bears, aud
declined as the call proceeded. The changes from the
morning were DO. important Central sold az 14i;
Hudson River and Panama were firm; Ga!ena was
among the weakest stocks and sold down TO 62 Rock
leland was steady at GO. aG2S. The impression IL
very general that tbis Road will the payment
of dividends within sixty ninety days, and this we
understand to be the policy Of the Company. They
have abundant means on hand for Il dividend, but VIII
rot ray one unless they can the way clear TO co.,
Time TO nav semi-annuay. In the Bond market there
VIE not much done, except in hissouris which have
recovered u q cent of the recent fall Texas Gov

bonds were steady but inactive. The last prices are:
