MONDAY, Dec. 14-P. II.


The railway and miscellaneous share market has
been as a rule. dull to-day on small dealings, the
aggregate sales of stocks amounting to only about
l2jOOO shares. with the general tendency of the
prices to lower quotations. The widest fluctuations
aud the largest transactions of the day in Pa
clhc Mail which is made active by cause of the in
vestgation gong at Washington, if from no
other About 30 900 shares of this stock
sold at prices ranging from 39s to 3S2. opening at
the highest price Of the day and closing at 3 which
is decline of I per cent from Saturday last. The
next most active stock was Western Union Tele-
graph. which, under the pressure to SELL sus-
tanned itself remarkably well, the stock ranging
from s2s to 81 and closing sales of 4SOO shares
at s2! a decline of ouly per cent from Saturdays
final quotation. There has been apparently deter
mined effort to unload this stock and the suspicion
il not the belief, Of the street judging mainly we
suppose, from the names OF the brokers who sod is
that Commodore Vanderbilt is disposing of some
portion of his shares. Wabash was reasonably act
i've and weak declining per cent from Saturday.
The receipts of this road show falling off of $4,000
for the first week in December compared with the
corresponding week of 1873, and for eleven
months ending November 30 the earnings were
s469J,OOO, and for the corresponding month of
last year, s., 1000, showing a decrease of
SGs7 900 1t is claimed that the economies
introduced into the management OF the road iof the
present year amount TO a saving OF $4,000 per
month. which would still show decrease OF $2i7,-
DO III the net receipts Of the II months referred to.
The go'sips of tho street speak of new bull pool in
ST. Paul. which, after buying 10000 or 5000 shares
discovered that they were purchasing the stock of
the President Of the road when they reported
have exhibited the white feather and to have made
an unsuccessful attempt to dispose of theirstock
without loss. Whether not there may be any
foundation for this story, the 81. Paul stock has
been heavy to-day, and shows a decline of Der
cent since Saturday last The next most prom
nent stocks have been Northwestern, which has
vbrated between 45l and All, closing at 47l which
is better than Saturdays price; and Erie which
closed below the highest price Of the day, and also
I below the price at the close last week. c. C. and

panv, held 9th nst all were present. except exGov
Dennison of Ohio, and MeSsrs. j. Il. Thompson and
Thomas Denny of New-York AT first differences Of
opinion in connection with the financial condition OF
the Company wero expressed but after hearing how
matters stood the value of this important railway be-
came more apparent, and those who had come there
strong In the faith that they had grev-
apccs soon arrived at the conclusion seemingly that
1t were better accept TIE situation, hoping as the
financial embarrassment In all branches of trade and
with railroads general passed off this line would be
upon a better basis financially than now. Mr. George
b. Wright the recently appointed receiver Of the road.
was present expressed his views quite freely to
the manner in which he hoped to manage its aiirs and
the directory appeared satisfied that he was the right
man in the right place. The following resolutions were
read and unanimously adopted:
Resoiped That in the opinion OF this Board the prop
erty of this corporation Ia worth more than the
OF bonded and floating dcDt which rests upon H.
and that recovery OF business from the financial
depression which has existed for tue past year, e
enlarged receipts OF the railway Will be sufficient before
any very long period will have elapsed to authorize
resumption OF the payment OF interest on lhG D9hueh
obligations ana the taxing care Vi the othcr HaDIcs
OF the corporation.
ReSolped further. That in the judgment Of this Board
the wscs for all the creditors OF said corporation
to pursue in order to prevent long and embiftered
controversy between conflicting claimants and the sac
rce all interests Judicial sale aud the cOnse
qucnt loss OF the special chartered franchises
0f the railway, is to accept some satisfactory
funding proposition and the Resident ana Executive
the bondholder and also the noatug debt cred
