THE STOCK MARKET.
Another "ReItsbIe,, Rumor.

The stock market was somewhat excited
Yesterday over "relisble" rumor, that was
industriously circulated, to the effect that
prominent and large stakeholder in the
Central Railroad had disposed Of 1,6SS
shares, with proxies, to sbanking firm in New
York st $50 per share. This report, strange
to say, had some credence, although its
absuriity was apparent, as the price which
was stated-S15O-has not been reached
since this recent "bull" movement was
inaugurated. 1t is not at all probable-in
fact, it is highly improbable-that such
number Of shares could be sold at $50,
when sales were being made at and under
SAB.
We may state positively that no such sale
as rumored has been effected, though
transaction, which It Is presumed is the
basis OF this rumor, did take place. On
Tuesday, the 18th instant, the large stock
holder referred to, who had returned from
Europe only few days previously, through
a friend negotiated the sale of one thousand
shares of stOck-not 1,633-at Sl2o, not
$50, for reasons best known to himself.
The exaggerated publicity which has been
given the transaction renders it proper to
make this statement, which is based upon
authentic information obtained after inves-
tigation. There has been no power
of attorney given, and hence
the New York banhers who
have purchased this block will have no vote
at the ensuing election in January. The
charter requires that the transfers of stock
81 al be made rinety days previous to the
election in order 70 entitle the purchaser to
the right to vote, unless there be between
seller and purchaser some special agree
ment. and the former has given his power
OF attorney or made the purchaser proxy.
In this case it may be stated that such has
not been done, and the sale cannot be re-
gsrded as having any particular significance
so far as the movement for a change in the
policy of the Central Railroad is concerned.

Drummers No, want. .

Several days since four comm rcial tour
lists, otherwise drummers, representing Sa-
vannah houses, and one representing a
Macon house, met by chance, as it were, at
the town OF Eastman, where they proposed
to work up the field for their respective
establishments. That fraternal feeling
which prevails among commercial tourists
induced them to register at the same hotel,
and thither they had their heavy trunks
removed, and proceeded to make themselves
comfortable, prev GUS to inaugurating their
campaign on the country merchants. The
hotel was a first class establishment, and
the regular rates were 50 per day. After
the party had enjoyed dinner,
the proprietor of the hotel dis
covered that they were fdrummers,"
whereupon, we are informed, he notified
them that they could settle for their dinner
and hunt some other place, as he did not
desire TO have "dTummers" among his
guests ard would not accommodate them.
His establishment, he said, was exclusively
for the accommodation of Northern inva-
lids, and no drummers "need apply The
party thus summsrily invited to quit were
rather indignant and freely expressed their
opinion on the subject. AS they had made
no objection to the rates and were perfect
IL willing to pay the regular prices, they
did not relish thus being ostracised.

Sieuor Rossi as King Lear.

A very good house-which doubtless
would have been packed but for the high
prices of admission-assembled at the The
atre last evening to witness Siguor Ernesto
ROssi in his great character Of King Lear in
Shakespeare's tragedy of that name. What
was lacking in numbers, however, was made
up in other respects, for more appreciative
and critical audience has not filled cur
Temple of the MUSES. this season.
Public expectation, which had been raised
to a high pitch through the reputation
which had preceded Signor Rossi, was not
disappointed At first, bis speaking his lines
in Italian, while his support responded in
E0glish, seemed awkward, and threatened
10 mar the harmony of the entertainment,
but as the play proceeded, those present not
only became accustomed to the dual -tOngued
dialogue, but Signor Rossis mastery acting
did away with what, under ordinary cir
eumstances, would have proven a serious
obstacle in the way OF his success. His su-
dence soon became interested, then alb
sorbed, aud long before the final fall of the
curtain it was evident that the verdict that
he was really great actor had Eeen unani-
mOuslv agreed upon. At the close OF
each act he received a call before the cur
tain, while in many scenes during the pro
gress OF the play, especially in the storm
scene, and In his fnal interview with Cor
delia-which he enacted in English-he
elected loud and enthusiastic applause. In
a word, his rendition of the character was,
IN every particular, forcible and powerful;
his words were lost in his acting, and
throughout he fully maintained his high
repure as an artist Of rare genius
His support was also exceptionally fine
Mr.. Mines Levick, who has frequently sp
pesred on cur boards on previous occasion E,
and who has long since become an establish
ed favOrite, in his rendition of the character
o. Edgar last evening fully justified the
high opinion already formed regarding him.
/ TIE rest If the company also sustained
their respective parts to the entire satisfac-
ton Of the audience.
Signor Rossi and company appear for the
last time on our boards this season, at a
matinee this afternoon, when the ever popu-
| lar tragedy of Othello will be presented.
| All who attend may safely rest assured of
an Entertainment thoroughly refined, elevat-
/ ing and artistic.

Handsome Furniture for the HOII-

In this practical age those who wish to
commemorate the holidays are on the look
out for something useful to purchase as a
substantial testimonial to their loved ones,
who know that they are remembered, and
nothing could be better for this purpose
than a handsome set of parlor or bedroom
furniture, q comfortable rocker, or any of
the many articles which now comprise the
stock Of modern furniture house. Then a
new carpet or curtains, or both,
will prove practical token of atfec-
ton, and at the same time, II
the donor be the head OF the family, he can
also enjoy the comforts which his gift may
bring to the household. If this be the
method in which our citizens propose to
celebrate the holidays, they should visit
Messrs. Allen 81 Lindsay, 1863 and III
Broughton street, where they will find the
largest stock of furniture and carpets ever
seen in Southern house.-AdO.
