STOCKS DULL AND STEADY.
The chief features OF the day were Erie and
Pacific Mail, botn keeping side by side In the eX-
tent OF their improvement, which was about IL
per cent. The former opened at SO, in sympathy
with the London market and steadily advanced to
e4h. closing at reaction Of 4 lower. Pacific Mail
opened at 49, fell OF to Az thence advanced to 46,
at which it closed. Harlem at l31, New York Gen.
trail at 1907, st. Paul at 55H, c., G. and c. at 31
and Union Pacific at 81 were the leading instances
OF the days improvement. The market however
may be described in general terms as duh and
with the exceptions above named, steady. Brokers'
Offices partook OF the prevailing lethargy, and the
occupants gosslpped idly over the anomalous situ-
alton, waiting, like SO many sea-becalmed crafts,
for the first symptoms of breeze. And none
seems likely to disturb the immediate serenity OF
the hour The New JERSEY Southern Railroad Com
pany have notified the Stock Exchange tnat within
thirty days they will issue 10000 shares for the
purpose OF buying boats, docks &c.
