TUESDAY, Feb. 4-P. N.
The continued delay in the adoption of somo fnan.
cial scheme at Washington and the introduction OF
two substitutes for the original bill which would
tend to still further protrac the debate have chilled the
ardor OF speculation in the Stock market. and win
moderate business the fluctuations are small. The"
appears to be disposition, in any quarter, 70 act
vigorously enough either for the rise or fall TO nnu-
ence prices. Those who have been hitherto bulls,
prefer waiting for the developments at Washington,
having Lost confidence in the speedy passage Of the
Currency bill while the sellers are generally Of the
weaker class Of operatorsprobably, in most cases,
sellers by necessity. The quotations al the
morning Board to-day generally show q small i'm
provemen; on the closing prices Of yesterday. The
changes were in no case important. Between the
Boards the market was very dull, but steady. Al
the Second Board with ANAL dealings, the quota
tons were well sustained, and In Eric and Pacific
Mail an advance was es'ablisbed. The latter stock
is firm under the approaching dividend, which will
probably be declared tomorrow, and, we are in.
formed, will be y cent for the quarter. The busi.
ness proper Of this Company 10 not in favorable
condition, the regular traffic between the Atlantic
and Pacific having fallen Of very materially, but
large business in the transportation Of soldiers aud
arms has been done, and the surplus ships Of the
Company, tho Constitution, tie Atlantic
and the Baltic, arc very probably employed
in tho service Of the Government. From these
sources tie dividend has been fully earned. In tho
case Of Enc the market 10 sustained by the enormous
traffic which preses upon the limo to the full cspAri,y
Of lie equipsge. The January gross receipts do not
fall a 90 900 abort Of December, when they exceeded
