Financial.
The Commercial says: The stock market
| continues extremely dull. Notwithstanding
| the comparative inactivity of general busi-
| ness and the consequent abundance of un-
employed capital. Very little disposition
! is shown by the outside public to take ven-
lures in the stock market, and operations
are left very much to the brokers. The
prospect of the passage of the new loan bill,
though generally considered certain, has
no effect upon the prices OF either govern
ment or other stocks, although it may be
considered certain that In the event OF the
measure being adopted an immediate effort
would be made to force up the price OF
| Government securities about per cent, O
movement with which all other securities
would sympathize. At this mornings board
prices were generally a fraction lower
rather from the dulness of the market than
from any disposition to sell. On some of
the roads buyers option are put out freely.
| Vigorous attempts are made to break down
the price of Erie, but without success.
In the miscellaneous list, the most i'm
portant fluctuations were on Spring Noun
| tain coal, which sold down to As, and
| Spruce Hill, which sold at 4. Western
Union Telegraph was also &c lower. Gov
ernments are quiet but steady, quotations
being the same as at the close of yesterdays
| business.
