The New York Stock market this morning opened
with less activity than for the last Two three days
and prices were somewhat irregular. Canton. Cum
berlal,d and New York Central were shade iower
Reading. Michigan Southern and Rock Island re-
manned at last evenings quotations. while Pittsburg
advanced to SO<, Large transactions took place III
Ohio and Mississippi Certificates. The rise taken
advantage of by many Hldefs and several lots were
thus thrown on the market Al rIs first Board they
fell to 26, and soon after to "a and hV1e lndspo
siton to buy manifested. Notwithstanding the
report of favorable issue of the litigation with ce
city of Cincinnati. During the next two Boards the
market was dull, with no particular feature to note
AT the "a past o'clock regular board, the market
gaining some outside support, speculation received
an impetus. Erie. Hudson and Rock Island were the
most active stocks and their prices the materi
ally advanced. Large purchases were noted in Rock
Island, and the inquiry for this stock continued until
late in the afternoon at the close is quoted strong
at 1881, after selling at 1881 in the morning The
fluctuations in the price of Quicksilver during the
day were very marked, owing to The conflicting nlu
brought to bear it. At the opening the price
was H. after which it rose to 49, then suddenly de-
clined to AZ. 1t is stock in which the public at
present have but little interest and lately it has
passed into the hands of few who have pretty much
the control of its movements.
Chicago and Northwestern preferred partook Ct the
general improvement in prices and during the after
noon on the report becoming circulated that the next
dividend would be paid, it rose to 56@s, closing firm
and in good de>land.
There was but little doing in Missouri, Tennessee
or Virginia bonds, end their prices remain un-
changed. North Caron, declined q per cent sell
ing at 50. Government bonds were moderately firm;
5-2Os of ga ruled at about 1929 t70ughout the day.
Gold opended at 1885. and under sa,es by the gov
eminent declined to 13S at haf-past four In amount
being daily put the market is still Inadequate 20
the demand and its scarcity is still very great; Dor
rowing over night costs Is per cent.
Money extremely easy, n shade more so than
yesterday, call loans in many cases being made at
5per cent, although in some instances per cent
was paid.
The New York Tribune says: Reports are indus
triously circulate that nothing will be done for
will be made harmless and stimulate speculation into
something like its former vgor. This theory finds
few adherents in Wall street, and still less among
traders generally. The solvent part of the business
community is of opinion that the duty of the Gov
eminent and the best interests of the community
alike demand steady reduction of the currency and
persistent efforts TO place the currency debt into long
bonds. The alarm shown by spectators at any
movement of the Government toward RESUMPTION
should not be lost upon Congress, which should
promptly give the Secretary the power necessary to
consolidate the national debt and to withdraw from
circulation the paper money issued under the Reces
sites of the rebellion.
The same paper says:
The Bankers Express will be in active opera
ton. and has secured its general New York depot
the old offices of the Hudson River Railroad nj !
Chambers st. The stock is held very closely bv lis
original takers, who expect it to sell at high pre-
MUM at no distant day. The American Express
stock sells four times high the shares of roads on
which its business is done and that of the new con-
will doubt be moro valuable than any railway
stock making contract with it. The various en-
presses and forwarding agencies paractes which
the substance of people who fancy the roads are run
primarily for the stockholders. The profits of ex-
press companies made to a great degree from the
movements of productive kinds of freight at extra
rates in cars hired of the roads upon the basis OF
ordinary traffic.
There will be distributed this week by the Treasury
nearly eleven millions of currency in payment of the
interest on $500 ,OOO,000 of seven-thirtes.
