tRCoND BOARD
THURSDAY, March 22-P. N.

THURSDAY, March 22--P. M
Transactions at the Morning Board were remarkably
light and the first call completed without sale III
five or six of the leading raiways-an event which
rarely happens at our Stock Exchange. Prices were
unite firm throughout and on the second call the market
staened up lttle-the shorts buying to moderate
extent and one or two of the leading operators coming
in to the rescue apparently with deuire to take the
market out of the slough Of despond Ito which has
appeared 70 be rapidly settling. At this point an ao
srac of the foreign news by the Arago was gwen tot
Board and the effect WAS for the time 70 unsete little
the price Of Illinois Central which was quoted lower IN
London. The market closed steady however nj the
adjournment, for nearly all Of the prominent shares
and Immediately afterwad there was a very good de-
mand for stocks at an advance Of from 10 y cent
over the registered sales Of the morning The Federal
loan Of 1881 fraction lower, and rather
State stocks were a little better, with moderate bus
ness, and for Railway bonds, which seem TO be the
fayorie security for Investment there was very we'll
distributed and active demand at higher prices. The
dealings were not large, however, in con
sequence Of the limited supply, and the
indisposion Of holders 10 meet the views
of buyers Michigan Southern Sinking Funds advanced
TO a. and Toledo Sinking Funds TO 49, both deseriP
tons closing in demand AT tie Second Board the feel
ing was decidedly better throughout and the share
dealings were larger and more animated The leaoing
stocks were from 10 cent higher, and the bids or
Railway Bonds were at a further advance. No par
cuar reason gwen for the change in the tone Of the
market There no, much doing after the Board
but the market was firm. The closing prices Were:
