ing much the rs yesterday, with about the
usual business in Government and State stocks, and
diminished movement in those generally prominent in
the speculative transactions of the Board The changes
were very slight us compared with yesterday and
there seemed to be feeling of hesitation, if not OF
positive indifference amoug the leading operstos oil
the Board. New-York Genital is quite scarce for de-
livery maturing contracts ard as the transfer books
close to-day, there was well-sustanod demand for
the cash stock The easy condition Of the money
market enables holders Of stocks to carry without
trouble and there is consequently pressure Of shares
upon the market. Operations for the decline are there
fore made with extra hazard, on account of the lin
tied supply of noating stock. The rallies which may
occasionally occur during time when the influences
are against an advance are more likely TO be stimu-
lated by oversaes on short account than by any
hopoidl feeling although for days people appear
to have drawn encouragement from the more vigor-
ous and careful measures OF Government. At the
Second Board prices were in some instances a shade
better than in the morning, but the market wss very
inactive. New-York Central fell oil fraction, but
closed steady IL is understood that the semi-annual
dividend presently TO be declared, will be p cent.
The business of July it is stated, will show consider
able decrease. The best descriptions OF Railway
