SECOND BOARD.
WEDNESDAY. Dec. Il-P. N.

There was no feature of very marked nterest in
bs stock movement to-day. Both parties appear 10
be waiting for some impulse from the outside which
shall stir the present inactivity. AS is always the
esse, with a sluggish market, quotations are gradu
ally dropping the shorts not buying to a sufficient
extent to support prices. The decline was generally
IN important, and the transactions to large extent
for cash. We canno. look for any animation in stocks
until we have advices Of the manner in which the
seizure of Messrs Mason and SGdell received in
England If the matter is passed over there without
much excitement, it is generally conceded that the
stock movement here will favor the bull interest,
while the effect of unfsyorable advices in regard to
ths matter, has been TO large extent discounted.
Between the Boards there was not much done,
but the market was weak. The dealings at the
Second Board were TO moderate extent, and
the tendency Of prices was downward. Erie
Preferred was an exception, and improved y cent,
selling at 53i Buffalo and State-Line was also firm
Ut ia, an improvement of y cent. This road IL
stated 10 have earned in two months y cent upon
It's capital The net earnings Of the last fiscal year
was about - 3 cent. In Government stocks the
business il not large, and quotations were well sus-
tanned until the Second Board, when S25,oO0 regis
