 NEW YORK, May 15, 1880. The week ended to-day has recorded of the weakest stock markets and of the strongest ex- hibits of railroad earnings that had occasion to report this year. This gives, in word fair de- scrpton of the situation for while the material huences upon which stock values supposed to de- pend have been decidedly favorable to firm prices we have had in fact decline which in ordinary times might have produced panic, and certainly good crop of failures To-day there strong buying to- wards the close, which appeared to come, in good part from parties who intended to hold for the long account and the highest prices of to-day gener ally made in the last hour.
 The Bond Market-In Government bonds there special feature, except the remarkable steadness in prices which was strong in contrast with the weakness in railroad and other stocks.
