MONDAY, Feb. 13-P. N.
The stock market has been irregular to-day, with
moderately active kurinees, especially at the Second
Board. Eew-York Central was depressed in the
morning by the information f,cr Albany that tho pro-
rata bill would be pressed tbEd reading on Wednes-
coy and the bears took advantage Of this condition OF
tbe market TO make demonstration on It, Taking
the tone of this stock tbs other speculative Geserp
tons, with two or three exceptions, heavy, and
rather pressed upon the market. Pacific basil was
srong, with but little stock otrpg; ADD Reading had
sn upward tendency in response to the activity
in the Philadelphia market. Michigan Central was
also firm, bet dull. The Wes.ern shares were not
active, excepting Glena, sbich sid down
to 81. Rock Island steady at 81.
Panama opened at 1921 but fell OTTO 1914 probably
under the adviees brought by the North STAR ina.
negotiations were going with Nicaragua for open
ing route that State, in which Messrs. Cros-
hey IL Co. Of Liverpool, ard Mr.. Vanderbilt were in
terested There is nothing new in his rumo5 A.
Captain IN the British Navy wrote here month ago
to the Panama Company and to Com. Vanderbilt that
he had obtained such grant and offering it for se
We are confident that Com. Vanderbilt Aas no con-
nection whatever with tie scheme. The msrket i'm
mediately recovered rs lrmness, and between the
Boards the stock sold at 1921. AT the seound Bosra
there was q much improved feeling existing, with
considerable disposition TO buy the leading fancies.
The feature of the session. however was the activity
and buoyancy in Pacific Mail, which advanced rapidly
TO 50, gu improvement Of y cent from the morning.
We have made full inquiry and cannot learn that there
is any special reason for this rise. We are assured
from the fends Of both pafes that there is no nego-
tatiop whatever going ON between this Company and
Mr.. Vanderbilt. Panama recovered all the buoyancy
Of tie morning. and sold a. 1897, closing at that bid.
The improvement in this stock appears to be based
upon tie favorable prospects of the years business,
especially the freight traffic, which is constantly in-
crtasing. The Company earned nearly % cent last
year, and will show considerable increase in
1900 Central was rather frmer, but quiet
The Western shares neglected, but the market
was W ell sustained. The bond market was dali, but
steady excepting for Missouri is which were pressed
upon the MARKET regular and sellers option, and fell
off to S0l. There seems to be an apprehension that
the called session Of the Legislature Of that State may
authorize further issue to the railroads. In Railroad
bonds there was not much done. Fries, OF lSl, ad-
yanced to 30, and the v cents of the Michigan Cen
trail in demand at SO. The market at the close
was rot active, but steady. The quotations were:
