MosDAY, Aug. 26-P. N.

There was moderate business at the Stock Board
to-day, with no feature of especial interest. Cash
Stock is scarce of several descriptions and the efforts
of tho clique of bulls appeared to be confined to tenn
porary sqQeeze of the shorts. The war items
being of rather an encouraging character, have ten
dency 70 stfen prices, while the ease with which
stocks are carried enables the bulls to hold their pur-
chases out of market without difficulty. Quite pow
erul faction of bears are very willing to sell the prom
inent fncies on seller sixty at unusual difference
on the cash price, but this does not suit the back OF
the bulls and no contracts can be got out. The
only long sellers contracts to-day, IL will
be seen, was 50 shares Rock Island
and 100 shares Central at seller thirty. The tone OF
the market to-day, although dull, was strong, the
changes not being important. Central not being plenty
for delivery was firm selling up to 74t. Rock Is
land and Galena were also frm the former improving
to Az and the latter to 65l. Pacific Mail was as
on Saturday, but Panama improved Z Y cent Be
tween the Bosrds there was nothing Of Importance do
ing but the market was heavy. At the Second Board
the market WAS / TO y cent lower under unfavors-
BILE adyices from the South, which, however, were
not confirmed The Street is 80 sensitive that ire
sponsibe reports have marked effect. Sentrai fell
of TO 49, decline of v cent. Rock Island declined
y cent; Galena, y cent; Toledo, v cent,
&c Other descriptions had downward tendency
The dealing in State bonds show irregular MARKET
without marked activity excepting In Tennessees,
of which SS5 200 wore sold closing at 43i, slight
advance on Saturday. In other kinds there is not
much change excepting in North Caroinas, which de-
clined per cent. At the close the market was rather
frmer In Government Securities the quotations are
well sustained and per cent Treasury Notes were in
demand at an advance of per cent. United States 5s,
