The following we clip from the Philadel-
phia Press Of Friday;
Reading Railroad shares advanced to 16Z
upon stronger Stock market to- day. All
the sound securities upon the list are firm at
the advanced quotations of the past week.
The traffic upon the Northern and Western
railroads goes on improving, while the Penn
sylvania Central Railroad, owing to the ad
ditional traffic thrown upon it by the mill
tary distractions on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad is full of business.
In relation to the Stock market at New
York, the Times has the following:
The feeling in the Stock market to day was
just the reverse Of that exhibited yesterday,
a sudden change not unusual in Wall street.
There was less activity, lower prices, and
the buyers of yesterday were the principal
sellers to-day. No reason was apparent for
the change, excepting that the foreign com
mercial advices were interpreted unfavOra-
bly,, Consols and American securities being
lower, and cotton and corn dull.
AT the close the market was heavy at the

NEW York DRY GooDs MARKET.-The
Tribune of Friday says:
The market for Dry Goods has changed
very little the past week, but it may be
quoted steady for all standard domestic
Cottons. The export demand, and the
moderate near by trade, is about equal to
the restricted production, and no accumula-
tiODs at present exist. Heavy Drills and
brown SheetiDgs are held with great firm.
ness, and holders are not anxious as to the
future prices Printing Cloths are not
offered, but held by strong parties generally.
Indeed, the impression is general that we
have seen the worse of the panic, and, if any
charge is made, it will be for the better.
