Fruvay, June 22—6 P. M. After the intense speculative excitement noticed yeateréay, it is but matural that there should have been a relapse.

Every train of cars that leaves tne depot of any railroad company in the conatry, is Kable to accidents, which may cut off dividends for years. Por, therefore, fora ten per cent dividend psying railroad stock is all that itis worth as an in- vestment. The leading railroad stocks, and Camer- isnd ond Nicaragua, were active this morning.

To day the sales are estimated at 12,000 bales, (6,000 to specula- tors and exporters, ) the market closing with more stea‘li- ness, The total sales of the week amount to 103,320 bales, of which 73,620 are American.
