SECOND BOARD.
TUESDAY, Aug. l3-F. 81.


The Stock dealings of the day bave been quite lin
tied and the dulness which marked the ealy portion
of last week again preyails The Commission houses
arc doing very little, excepting in State Bonds and
Government eec1ries and the street parties who got
up the furry Of las, Friday appear to have ineTmed
their excrtops to uaugarate bull movement, fnoIrg
that the public do not come to their aid The purchases
to-day have been mainly to cover short contracts and
in two three descriptions there appears g. be an at
tempt to make cash stock re, By holding certificates
OFT Of the market. TIE delays which have attended
Mr.. Chases efforts TO negotiate on the part OF the
Government have some infueLce upon the Stock
Exchange aud tend to cause hesitation upon the
part Of spectators. There was also in some
quarters an unfayoratle view taken of the fo!-
eign news The paragraph in regard to conferences
between the Eng'ish aud French Governments ugon
American affairs was Interpreted t. indicate mi chief
in the future. Between the Boards the market wss
very dul and at the Second Board the Transactions
light in extent, and irregular in quotations, but
with 10 cbapges Of mpOrtanoc. Tie closing business
in shares shows but very sigbt changes from the clog
Ing piccs OF yesterday. TIE demand FOR cash stock
kept ono or two descriptions steady, but the general
rafket has had downward tendency during the day.
