Tee Stock market to-day at the morning session
show ed but modefase degree Of activity, and with
ont important change the tendency of prices was down.
ward for The leading fapces The reaction of the last
day two was not unexpected and has been quite as
moderate as could have been expected after the con-
sidesabs ement of last week. The impendency
of discussion on the Toll BILL which comes up in the
Senate tomorrow, had q depressing influence upon
Central and the decline In this stock was not without
ts influence upon the rest of the market although the
changes in other stocks were less important. Central
opened at 49, and was fairly steady until after the
session, when it sold as low 73I. The aggregate
transactions were quite light We have the opinions
to-day Of six intelligent parties equally well informed
in gard 10 the probable fate Of the measures before
The Legislature affecting railroads Three Of these
ger tlsman state positively that the bills will pass and
three of them that they viii not pass The aggregate
amount of information obtained by comparing these
opinions it will be seen is not very great Pacific

sales to-day. The market, however, ia steady,
and holders are not disposed TO SELL Panama Is also
quiet In the Western shares the quotations were ait
tie lower at the Mornin Board but the bears were not
able to make much impression. There is undoubtedly
some absorption Of these stocks going ON from the out
side by parties who have faith 10 the revival of busi
roads must continue to show fair increase 1859.
Attic Second Board, there was comparatively more
activity with no marked change In quotations, the
bear jobbers made demonstration in some of the
Western stocks and in some cases. established lower
figures. Central sold at 70. Southern Michigan was
firm, and advanced to 49,. In the bond market, there
was considerable activity, especially in Missouri 6s,
which advanced to S22 with sales of $3.50 0JO Tennes

in addition to $1 900 cold at the Board there were
private purchases of about $4,000 at So, and that
price wss bid for more This we believe, clears the
