syCONp BOARD
WEnxEspAY. Anril Oh. NJ.


WEDNESDAY, April 23--r. NJ.
The feature Of the Stock Board to-day is the
sct,vity and Grmness in Government securities.
The dealings add up $780, 900, the 6s of 81 advancing
n el and the Indebtedness Certificates 10 9S. The
business as the Board, however, represents but a
small portion Of the actual transactions, there being
searc.y clearinghouse in the street of any position
whose transactions DO not exceed the entire aggre
Pate of the Board sales. This enormous amount of
ipve tment and speculation in Government securities
Is undoubtedly the cause Of much Of the dullness
sb,ch has been noticed Of late in the share market
hu. this difference cannot long continue, snd as the
spoaiions for Governments advance the attention Of
spectators will be attracted TO such securities as
have not participated in the upward move
men. In the stocks Of the Eastern trunk Lines
here was fair activity especially in Erie, of which
the cid stock sold at 81 B. aud the Preferred at 624.
We bear of purchases of 200 shares Of the latter
for Eoglish account The proposition for paying of
The floating debt of THE Company about 5000, coo,
and commencing dividends st an early day upon the
Preferred stock, has not yet been accepted by the
Company but tie ability of the road to earn such
dividends, under the economical administration Of
Mr.. Marsh, has been entirely established; and
whether the Company accept the proposition alluded
10 or not, dividend cannot be postponed beyond
lie coming Fall. Central was also strong, and
sold at S33. In the Western shares the
market was generally dull and heavy. To-
bdO is the especial object Of attack Of the
bears and fell off to 4Ol closing frmer. Under the
lslay in opening the Mississippi and fears of another
an Illinois Central fell OF 10 59.. 1t il the inn
pression of the officers Of the Company that no
further call will be made daring the present year.
ht tre Second Board the market was steady for
Central and Erie, and Toledo recovered to All. IL
hnois Central was offered after the call at 80, and
was heavy. The quotations for Governments were
sustained, with large transactions. At the Third
Board there was not much done, and quotations were
without important change. Prsirie du CHEN wss
