M. The stock market to-day was somewhat depressed. ‘The buoyancy of the past few days has been lost, and the probability is that prices will gradnally fall off to the points they started from for the recent rise. At the | first board to-day, Erie Income Bonds fell off 2 per cent; New York Central Bonds, { ; Nicaragua Transit, % ; Cumberland Coal, 3{; Erie R. R., 44; Reading R.R., 84; The transactions in Erie and Reading R. R. were particularly large. Erie R. R, opened yesterday at the secon@ board at 372, per cent, and closed at 35—a decline of 11; per cent, This morning it opened at 363¢ per cent—an ad- vance of 3¢ per cent on yesterday’s closing prices, and closed at 353s—a decline of 7 per cont during the board. These fluctuations show pretty clearly the condition of operators, and they also show that, with but a slight probability of any improvement of consequence, prices may fall off suddenly and largely, leaving recent buyers far above the market. New York Central Bonds, with guarantee of the regular payment of interest, are selling at prices just about equal to those for the stock, upon which there has been but one dividend paid in about eighteen months, The approaching dividend, if paid at ali, willbe in the company’s bonds st their par value, This sort of financiering may do for atime, but no railroad company can stand it long, no matter what its resources It is like a candle burning at both ends—must ‘The Erie Railroad Company used t> no end to their means, and may be. seon be consumed. fe through there the anding @ big sequence.

The last fiscal yearended on the 50th ult., daring which the company brought down the very large ton- nage of 1,988,477 tons—-only 11,525 tons short of two millions of tons. This isa most unprecedented business, and when it is remembered that it has been done at higher prices than in many years before, the hopes of the friends of the company are brighter that it may soon work from under its embarrassiments, and pay to its owners good and regular dividends, ‘Trade on the Lehigh Navigation is understood to have ' ceased for the season. The company states the conl tonnage for the present year at 1,245,082 tons, against 1,080,423 tons Inst year, showing au excess of 179,432 tons in favor of the present year. ‘The total earnings of the Chicago and Mississippi Rail- road Company for the month of November amounted to $125,966 31.

The money mar- ket continues stringent and quiet, ani the demand for money still exceeds the supply. The complaint among business men of the scarcity of money is not quite so | general as heretofore, and this is no doubt owing ina | great measure to the contraction which has been ‘d tised and still continues to be persevered in by our mer- chants and manufacturers in every department of trade.
