WEDNESDAY, May 2l-P.h.
The stock market this morning was heavy, under
free supply Of cash stock which was thrown on
the market by the bears under the advices from
Washington that new call was to be made for
100 900 volunteers. This number Of men is needed
10 take the place Of the rick and wounded, and al
though it had no particularly unavorabe gnifcance,
WAS sufficient weapon for the bears to depress the
market at the opening to y cent on shares, and
y cent On Government securities. Toward the
close of the call however, the feeling improved, and
new buyers coming in, there q recovery IN some
descriptions Of to L cent. We have seldom seen
in the stock market so considerable decline on so
insufficient cause Alter the Board the market
was again irmer, without much activity. At the
Second Board, the market irregular but the
ceiling was more confident, and the advices of the
occupation Of Richmond which may be expected at
any moment, would give the market great buoy

The demand Tor the low-prced railway bonds con.
tnues unabsted and particularly for those of roads
which have been taken from positions Of financial
embaTIassments and placed upon firm ground by |
the process Of reorganization. Among these are the
Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne, and Chicago; Terre Haute
and Alton, and Chicago and North-Western. 1t is
now perceived that during a year or two past i'm
portant measures have been quietly perfected TO
bring these roads from chaos 10 order and Us this
light breaks upon the public mind, people not
slow to take advantage Of the nominal prices
until recently ruling for majority Of the Sc
curities 1t needs now but little argument
to convince BUYERS that the Fort Wayne and
Chicago first and second mortgage bonds, amounting
together TO about ten millions, about as safe as
any railway investment in the country, when the
road actually earns d net amount about sufficient to
pay the interest twice over; and it is "a curious cir
cumstance that within three months array Of facts
in favor of the Terre Haute and Alton Road has been
presented strong enough to carry the first mortgages
from 60 10 l0S and tie seconds from Is TO 80. In
the case Of the Chicago and North-Western too, it

are selling at 47a4s. Facts Of this character are
working great change in the public estimation of
railway BONDS; hence the rapidly increasing demand
and advance in market values.
