In regard to stocks, the New York World OF the
14th says:
The Lake Shore directors held meeting to-day
which was not quite as harmonious as it might have
been. The disturbing element is the question
as to whether the directors personally or the Lake
Shore company shall assume the purchase of the
Toledo and Wabash stock at IS. There seems to be
but little doubt, both in law and equity, to the
responsibility of the directors for the whole of the
Toledo and Wabash stock bought at S. but the in
fiuences influential to shift this load from
the directors to the Lake shore company that it is
/ quite likely finally to rest there The efforts to
| throw the road into the hands of the Vanderbilt
| party are still going on, and the "bull" move
/ ment in the stock to-day was made by purchases
Il for account OF Vanderbit's friends.

Of the dry goods market the New York hide
| pendeRt of the 18th says: t.
Business generally has been very quiet during the
past week; but in dry goods the dullness has been
| exceptonabe and unlocked for. The effects of she
gold "corner7 have been more severely felt the
past week than during the week previous. But, il
addition to the effects of the gold Hcorner," ouI
dry goods dealers have had to bear the cOnse-
quences of the hate foods which interrupted trans
portatiOn and passenger traffic so seriously on the
great trunk lines Of railways that Western mer-
chants have neither been able to send forward theiI
goods nor have their produce sent to market
These are but arrangements, it is true; yet they
have happened at a very inopportune moment
Trade has consequently been depressed, and prices
of standard goods in the hands of jobbers have
yielded a little in order to induce purchases. As q
considerable number of mills have been obliged tC
suspend operation in consequence Of damages by
| the floods, the curtailment in the Eastern States
| of production has kept prices of certain descrip
tons of domestic goods from declining IN frs
hands. There will probably be an improved demand
for most descriptions of dry goods the coming
| week. .a
