MoSpAY, March 4--P..
The stock market was fairly active this morning but
iy~as irregular, the tendency as whole beng TOWARD
hover prloes. There was no important pressure OF
rash stock on the market and the shorts were free ony
pps. There was, however, speculative vein IN the
market, both factioDs being dspOsed 10 await the DIS
matches from Washington in regard TO the tone OF MI
k.ncolns inaugural. Between sbe Boards the market
sas steady but at the Second Board there was good
Seal Of excitement and the market fluctnaed win
kvery breath from Washington. As the delivery OF
Abe Inaugural proceeded various brokers received dis
patches in regard 10 the sentiments expressed

phanged the aspect of the market several times durng
snd after the session. AT time Central was bid mp

lions Late in the day, when the Inaugural had been
received and read operators appeared 10 be very much

socks, and consequently very few transactions were
ade the market closing very inactive but at prices
