The business of the Stock Board was 10 moderate
extent this morning, and the feeling cheerful
Tie only activity in Railroad shares in New-York
Central and Illinois Central In the former tue Bucu
stions of the past week have been confined within
hlnits Of 10 y cent, but the quotations would have
shown more advance but for more liberal supply Of
cash Sock, which has appeared within day or two.
Illinois Central continues firm, in anticipation OF
the "eorner" which is to culminate on Satur-
day. a. the opening of the books, and sold at
sC3 OIL for the opening. Our experience IN
Wall street ia that the anticipatiOns In re-
gard to corners" are seldom realized. Some leaky
member of the clique generally supplies the shorts and
leaves his feow-speculators 10 carry the load. In
other stocks there marked change. The bears
hammered with considerable vgor but did not get out
many contracts. The difficulty in finding purchasers
for long sellers options forces the bears TO take the risk
Of putting out three and ten days options, the
maturity of which coming around quickly, keeps
them continually in the market as buyers, and
materially assists in sustaining quotations Be-
tween the Boards there was very little
business and the market was without change OF i'm
portanee, excepting Illinois Central, which was lower
The market very lsngud at the Second Board and
prices were not maintained. The changes were not
generally important but Illinois Central sold down to
20. Erie is rather scarce, but was sold at -. Pacific
Mail offered at 6i, against 65 yesterday. AT the
close the feeling heavy, and little or nothing was
done after the regular session in the street. Vgnias
and Missours active, but fell of from opening
prices. AT the afternoon Board, VTginles were
cold at 46, decline of p y cent from yes
feriay. 1t is supposed some supplies are COM
ing forward from Virginia. The difference be-
tween cash and time is not 80 great as 1t was
hast week Mssouris cold at Al against Ill yesterday
Tennessees low, selling at ~ against 70. The
market lie heavy for Government securities, and lower
prices have been sutu ited to- The loan is on the
market in amounts beyond the demand and all the is
sues are depressed. The rev loan is offered at S5t.
