MOSDAY Oct l-P. N.
There was fair activity in the stock market, but
the movement was laneuid until Erie was reached,
when there was more disposition shown 10 operate,
and rather better feeling generally especially in Har-
lem, which was III active demand and buoyant, touch
ing 22 against % on Saturday In Western shares
the market was languid and rather heavy excepting
for Eock Island, in which there large activity,
aud the market was hammered down TO Il !, under the
current Iumor that the October dividend would be
passed. considerable line of shorts must have
been put out within the last few DAYS, on
the strength of this anticipation. Toe Directors
met to-day but there quorum and couse iuenty
the question of dividends did not come up. Other
Western phares were quiet at about Saturdays rates
At the Second Board, the foreign news having been
received aud the bank statement being considered az
UNEXPECTEDLY favorable, there was much better
feeling, and considerable excitement in some de-
,criptions most marked in Central, Erie, and Har-
lem. Erie advanced to i21, and was not offered
below that at the close. The gross receipts Of
September were in round numbers $4,000, and
the estimate of the clique is that the road will earn
5 T. cent for the stock in the current fscal year
Another million of We'tern and Atlantic bonds has
been placed 10 London, which gives that Company the
to stretch its line far toward the Mahoning road
| connecting this with Cleveland. From this source

tic pated Harlem was 23 for the DID, and 53l for the
Preferred stock and active. Central advanced to 81
at which it closed offered at. In the Western stocks
there was frmer feeling and Rock Island recovered
y cent Of the decline Of the morning. Toledo improved
T. cent and Gaena was steady. Old Southern was bet
ter but Guaranteed fell off y cent Ill. Central was
| inactive, but very firm. In the Bond market, the
| business was moderate, and prices rather hsavy.
State Stocks show no change ofimportance, but it was
difficult 10 make sales at last weeks rates. The Boad
iseues Of the Erie Company firm, but the market
generally for railroad bonds heavy. The market
was firm at the cose at the folio wing prices Tennes
