Railway speculation was rather tame this A. M,
both at open Board aud Stock Exchange, and there
was a gradual falling of in prices. Erie was a
marked exception to the general market, and was
strong and active. The transitions in this stock at
the first regular Board amounted to {, 500 shares.
There are symptoms of another movement in Cleve-
land 4 Pittsburg for an advance. The market was
quiet dnring the day, but towards the close Pitts
burg was quite lively and sold up to s4H, after
selling at SO just previous to the session. At the
last Board there was a frmer tone, and the mar
ket was q fraction better.
