SECOND BOARD
WEpNYspAY, Jan. 30-.p. ".


WEDNESDAY, Jan. 30-p.s
Phe Stock Board to-day opened dull, and continued
dull throughout the session. There was no pressure Of
Stock on the market, and buyers consequently were
OBLIGED TO advance their bids slightly to obtain Stock
This scarcity Of shares is of the features Of the
present status of the market and results mainly from
the fact that there now very few maturing con.
tracts The Stocks which have been heretofore sold
from this have settled into strong hands, and only
come cut on the top wave Of speculative rise. The
bears showed but little stomach to-day to extend
their lines while on the other hand the commission
houses held fewer orders than for some time past The
market indeed, exhibited ess animation than even Of
late, az the ZANE time that a small advance ws
established on most Of the fances. Pacific Mail wn
an exception, and, under considerable desire u
sell, fell off to SiI from 86l yesterday. The profits Of
tie past three months have been understood to have
been about $50 OOO earned in the earlier part Of ths
quarter Erie, which is quite scarce sold at 81 az .nst
3Gi Yesterday An attempt was made to depress tina
Stock by circulating report that assessment under
the new organization will DO laid of cent. TIE
scheme authorizes q call Of ! Of | y cent only,

December next, the earnings of the Company will
be sufficient 10 pay of all liabilities for back coupons
and obyate the necessity for any call the bond or
stockholders. Between the Boards, there very
little business done, and the transactions at tue Second
Board were quite limited but generally at an advance
of la T. cent on morning prices. Pacific Mail con-
tinued to decline and sold at 81. Central was firm,
