GOVERNMENTS BUoYANr.
The government list was strong and higher for
the ive-twenties, ten-fortes and new nves-a quite
natural consequence OF the rise abroad and the
higher ruling here of the gold premium. The 67's
sold at l157s, and were relatively much higher than
the other new hve-twenties on account of their
wider popularity both at home and In the foreign
markets, In which they have nearly suppanted the
'62s. The currency skies seemed to sympathize with
the temper OF the general market at the Stock
Exchange, and were heavy, but hardly lower. The

STOCKS DULL AID LOWER.
1t was hard to fancy that the stock market OF
to-day was only q few days older than the one
which saw the exciting alter climax to the Boston
fire. so dull and listess was the tone OF business.
The first efforts were at Improvement and there
was pretty general rise OF 4 q 4 per cent up to
midday, but after that time the market dropped
slowly and left or ut . decline OF y q y per cent,

went OF to S71 on the announcement OF a new
issue OF &c. 900 Of per cent sinking fund bonds,
the issue OF which was duly authorized 10y the
directors ut q meeting late this afternoon. The
bonds are to be debentures, or unsecured by mort
gage, and will be redeemed at the rate of $500, 900
year until retired. The company issued and sold a
similar bond in 1859 to make good the deficit in the
treasury, 0ccasi0ned by the bankruptcy Of the COM
panys bankers the price obtained being SIS per
cent. The proceeds of the present issue will be de-
voted to enlarging the road equipment, Fastening

of steel rails and procuring additional real estate
at Buffalo, Cleveland, Toledo and Chicago for eeva-
tors and depot room. The supply OF depot room is
reported as qnite inadequate to the rapidly grow
ing business Of the company, the earnings Of the
past month, for instance having been $422, 900 in
excess OF last year. Pacific Mail went of to 85 4 on
the agitation caused by rumor that the steamer

CISCO was between seven and ten days overdue at
the latter port. The stock Of the

Governors ought to have an official reporter OF the
Board. At the close Of the day there was trining
reaction from the lowest prices, but without any
improvement in feeling, the depression which ex.
listed, despite the better news from London, being
traceable to general fear that to-morrOws bank
statement must prove poor one in view OF the
loss of resources through the specie shipments OF
the week. not to speak Of the slightly unfavorable
course Of the domestic exchanges during the same
period. ST. Paul preferred was passed over at both
