TUESDAY, Web. l4-P W.
The tone of the market to-day not favorable to
the bulls but the variations from yesterday prices
were not marked. There appeared to be no disposition
on the art of either faction of obbers to act with any
energy and the decline simply the result of the
duness Of the market, and the absence of orders
among the comrnission.houses. The feature of the
movement of the day has been the activity and buoy
ancy in Pacific Mail. This stock was quite dull at the
opening of both Boards but the second call was 10
active demand After the Second Board it sold at SO,
and closed at about that figure The aggregate sales
of the day were about 5000 shares, and the buyers
were veil distributed and included some of the shorts
who were frightened in to cover their recent sales
What the new activity and advance in this stock is
based on is still an enigma. Both the Pacific Mail
Company and Com. Vanderbilt declare that no neso-
tations of any kind for settlement going on but
doubtless the parties who are buying think there are,
or soon Will be. The advance in Panama. which has
recently taken place, appears to be due to pur-
cbases for investment, induced by the encouraging
,nospects of the traffic for the current year,
and the impression that larger semi-annua dividends
will soon be adopted as the policy of the Company.

but dragged during the call and closed at 7Ol. IL
Understood that Committee of Republican merchants
90 TO Albany tonight, to endeavor TO arrest the
progress of the Pro Rata bill, which comes up on
snecial order tomorrow. At the Second Board but
little was done in this stock andthe market was rather
frmtr. Tie Western shares were not active except
ING Michigan Central, which, however, was
heavy at the close. Galena was also heavy
and fell off TO 56i. At the Second Board the
market was active for one two stocks, but generally
dull and steady The advance in the rate of interest
by the Bank of England had uniavorable influence
In the Bond market there larger amount OF busi-
ness than usual at full rates, with the exception OF
Missouri 6s, which were pressed on the market, and
declined y cent, selling at 19s. The auditor OF Hi
nois has called upon eighteen banks for increased go
cuyity and it is feared that this movement may throw
considerable lots of Missouris tue market Some OF
the banks called upon are weak, and 1t Is doubtful
if they can respond. Meetings are being held in
various counties of Missouri, IN aid OF the move
ment for extending State aid to the railroads of
that State, and The Missouri Republican expreiss
tie opinion that such aid will be extended at the extra
session of the Legislature to meet on the 9th. This
circumstance has no doubt, some effect in depressing
our market for this security. Railroad Bonds were IN
fair demand Some $4,000 Freeland Illinois Central
sold at 100 1901 and $780, GOO Michigan Central ID at
go 096. The Erie Convertibes are firm, but the
mortgage Issues are heavy There have been some pur-
cbases of Erie Illinois Central and NewYork Central
securities within DAY two for English account.
