M The stock market opened this morning dull, but not so mueh depressed as usual at sach times. The transactions were very limited, and the variations in prioss hardly worth noticing, Illinois Central Bonds declined % per eent, Erie Rail:oad, 3¢, Camtom Co. advanced 3 per cent, Oumber- Jand Coal 34, New York Central Railroad %. It will be some days before the market gets into the right trim ‘again; and it will afford those who wish to come in early for the spring rise an opportunity to make up a ling of stocks at low prices, The weekly bank reports shew a steady increase in the line of discounts, If this iscom- tinued we may look for s moderate expansion in the fan- eies. It is our impression that in the course of the next ninety days holders of stocks generally will have an op- pertunity to realise good profits on present investments, and that those who buy on time will rua very little risk of making a loss, The firmness and steadiness with which prices have been maintained for some time past is pret'y good evidence that parties holding do not feel disposed to give way, and the inference is that they will make a desperate effort to get up a speculative excitement. We believe they will succeed. At the secord board the market was mere buoyant. Th° tendency upward was strong and decided. The earnings of the Hudson River Railroad Company in December, 1853, were $128,174 72, against $80,889 92 for the same month in 1853, Increase, $42,284 80, The Merchants’ Exchange Bask has declared a semi annual dividend of four per cent.

Thirty-one miles of the road have been built, and the irom for the whole pur- @bared and paid for. The present issue of bonds is for the purpose of constructing the remaining eighteen miles o the line, which the company expects to have eompleted by 1st January next. The earvings of that portion of the road mow construeted pay the interest on $900,000 of bonds, and dividends of about 10 per or mt on;$2,622,000 of capita! stock. The Parner Vein Coal Company have sold their Osledo- nia mines to the Caleconia Mining Company, on terms that will met more than one thousand dollars an acre. This is a separate property on the west side of George’s creek, where the Parker Vein Company have for some time past mined on an aversge, upwards of one hundred tons of coal per Gay. These mines are already opened to an extent sufficient to mine at least three hundred tons o, coal per day, and that quantity will be prodaced as soon as the Baltimore and Chio Railroad Company can prov. de facilities for teking 1: to market, The Caledonia Company has recently been organised, with o eapical of $1,000,000, Aivided into 100,000 abares, of $10 each. The property porchased is @ thoroughly opered set of veins, and the Rew proprieters step into the places of the old, and coa- tinue the works without the slightest interruptim. The Caledonia mines fermed no part of the great Totten and Jackson estates, which comprise 1,200 asres of the big vein, on which the Parker Vein Company are at work mining the great bu'k of the coal now coming to market. ‘The Parker Vein Coal Company has sold its line of steamships, comprising tem first clase vessels, to s new company, formed for the especial perpose ef carry- ing on the freighting buainess between this port and Balti- more, The new company will, we understand, immedi avely increase the number sufficient to meet the wants of the community.
