FRIDAY, Dec. lo-P. NJ.
The Stock market this morning opened with fair
degree Of rmness under the free discussion Of the ad
vices by the Hansa, but as the call proceeded there
was vigorous bammering by the bears and some hesi-
tation on the part Of the bulls under which quotations
weakened somewhat The most buoyant stock Was Pa
cfc Mail. which sold high as So. IL afterward fell
OF rapidly and in the afternoon ano7derfor % shares
was filled at 81, the market closing heavy. The
decline was on a rumor that an English Company
had been foimed to reopen the Nicaragua route be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans with irs-class
boats and appointments, and that the Directors OF the
Pacific Mai, Of this fact had been selling out
wit. n a few days. We do not know the authority
for zoe rumor. After the Board the market was
heavy, and at the Second Board, with moderate
transact ions prices were heavy. There is a hesta-
tion on the part Of operators for the rise, and
the bears were operating with more courage
than Of late under the advance in Sterling, and
baseess rumor that Mexico was about TO issue letters
of marque against English AID French commerce, and
that our Insurance Companies had refused to-day to
insure csrgoes in French and English bottoms, The
latter knew to be false, and the consequent
story that business on the Corn Exchange was at II
dead stand il fully disproyed by report Of the
Grain market in another column. At the close the
market was steady but inactive at the following quo
