The railway and miscellaneous share movement
to-day was Of less importance and MAGNITUDE than
Yesterday, and reflected special activity or Tea
ture at any time. Opening weak, the market De-
trayed downward tendency until about the FIRST
Board when prices became better Toward the can
at o'clock and at the Second Board the market
again sapred. the weakest spot being Western
Telegraph which was sold down pretty nearly
n point. Pacific Mail was lively stock and over
TONED AZ in its improved ascent. Much attention
was directed TO Ohios at 39!a4O0S93 and Wabash
at GqIa7OGG9.. Panama was strong at llGs0llG.
There was little gossip floating about the Exchange
to-day which attracted any interest The general
market closed strong under new buying move
rnent late in the afternoon. The opening, highest,
lowest and closing prices Of stocks are as follows
