MONEY MARKET. Pawar, August 24—6 P.M. ‘There was rather a blue market at the opening this morning. There appeared to be a general dis- position to realize, and the offerings were unusually large, At the first hoard Minois Central bonds de- clined j per cent; Canton Company, 4; Nicaragua ‘Transit, 4; Cumberland Coal, j; New York Central Railroad, §; Erie Railroad, }; Harlem, 4; Reading Railroad, 3; Cleveland and Toledo Railroad, 1}. The transactions in each were large, a large portion of which was for cash. Sellers of Western railroad stocks were plenty, but there was an absence of buy- ers. Cleveland and Toledo and Cleveland and Pitts- burg were crowded off in large lota at the best prices current. The tendency was downward throughout, and at the close stocks were freely offered at a fur- ther decline, without finding buyers. At the second board there wax a moderate panic in Cleveland and Toledo, and large quantities of stock were pressing for sale. It was sold down to £5 percent. That is altogether too much for it, and those who got out at anything like that rate will be much better off than those who hold on for better prices. The stock market has evidently been stretched to ita utmost tension. Prices have been so much inflated that all the floating capital has been absorbed, end there was no alternative but a decline when holders commenced realizing. The really good stocks have been affected moderately by this influence, but those stocks which have advanced without real basis—which have been sustained solely by the operations of speculators—must fall back again to the points from which they started, and take their place again among the class of second or third rate fancies, Cleveland and Toledo fell off this afternoon 24 percent; Reading, 4; Erie Railroad, 4; Harlem, 3; Nicaragua Transit, }; Comberland Coal, The steamer Lebanon, from this port for Liver- pool to-morrow, will take out about half a million dollars in specie.

Ifwe have made a mistake or mi«state- ment, we are not only disposed, but anxious to make acorrection. A stockholder in the Cleveland aad Toledo Railroad Company calls us to an account for making what he calla mere aseortion, and finds fault with us for making statements not founded, us he says, on fact. We publish his communication 40 that he may see we have no desire to do him or the company injustice:— Cureiaxn axd Toumpe Rarroap Comrasy To my Eprrow ov me Hema: — Your article, of a day or two since, in answer to « AStockbolder,”” contains such © cistue of wholesale a= eertion that, in the absence of amy <eply frou him L bog 10 Kay— 1. ts order to bolster up your fivst statement that the capital was $7,000,000, you are compelled to set down the floating debt at over $500,000. Vhereas it ix a well known fact that the very bonds you mention as having been Fold last winter, was for the express purpose of pay- ting delt of the company, . you express a belief thet the company will pay a dividend of 5 per cent October Ist, you assert “they will not do it from thelr net earnings,” that another iseue of bonds will have to be made, &e.; in other worda, you would may that # dividend will be patched up for the enke of keeping up the stock. J ‘would simply #ny thot all this is mere assertion, without ‘the lightest proot or foundation, and it should be «o regarded by the public; and I would ruggeet that in a commercial article an editor should confine himself to thete and figures, and not deal ro largely in fiction. Avoust, 24, 1856, ANOTHER STOCKHOLDER, If the writer of the above had been thoroughly posted ap relative to the affairs of the Cleveland and Toledo Railroad Company, he never would have been a stockholder, and from the moment he informs himself of the company’s position he will cease to hold a single share of stock. It waa intended by the management that the issue of bonds should pay off the floating debt; and it might have done so at that time, had the bonds brought any kind of a price, but they were sold #0 low (about 65 per cent) that the proceeds were not sufficient for that purpore. There was therefore a floating debt of some magnitude left at that time, six months since, and it has eince been steadily increasing. It is now nearly a8 largo as it wes before the issue of the bonds referred to. The reduced price at which the bonds were sold was roinons enough to the company, but the fact that they were parceled out privately, with- out the Girst word of notice boing given to the stockholders, i enongh to convince any one that the real interests of the compayy is aot much considered by the board of management. The writer of the above communication mast not suppose for a moment that we have avy desire to make any misetatement regarding this or any other railroad | company. We generally are pretty well posted about railroad companies before we make any assertion relative to their financial affairs. Stockholders who bave no more sense than to place implicit confidence in, and be governed by, the reporta which from time to time emanate from the boards of directors, must not be astonished at any exposé that may be made. It is really astonishing how littlo stockholders in in- corporated companies generally know of the cba- racter of their investments. It is not at all surpris- ing that such facts as we have lately presented for the consideration of those interested in the Cleve- land and Toledo Railroad, should create consterna- tion and alarm. Those who doubt their truth, and rest qniet holders of its stock, will, one of these days, when too late, sce their mistake. One of the most absurd theories promulgated by financial writers, is, that the stocks of the Erie and New York Central roads would be enhanced in value by an “‘understandiug” between the companies, ia other words, by a huge combination at the expense of travel. The Central passes through a thickly populated country, almost created by the Erie canal. It has o certain and reliable source of income, in- creased or lessened by its rates of fare, Their pre- veut rates fill the trains. A road accomplishing this much sought for object by railway economists, is doing pretty well. That their engines might draw more loads, is possible, but not without risk of de- ranging time. The Erie passes through an improving country, but is, in local travel, far behind the Central; its through business is important, hence this anxiety for an “understanding,” so much desired by capa- cious pockets filled with Erie certificates “for a rise.” This alliance would hurt the Central, but would it help the Erie? Certainly not, for it would lessen the travel without reducing the number of trains, They must keep up the number and expenses still the same. Competition creates travel, insures to the public civil treatment, courteous conductors, exact- ness of time, all of which contribute to the economical working of railways, and to their profit, by the saving of property and lives, Both roads are now better run and more regularly “on time” than ever before. A person leaving here to-morrow morning, can know the minute of his arrival at Buffalo. This exactness is the result of care, which is the child of competi- tion. The poor stockholders, in all roads engaged in competition, must look out for themselves. The travelling public must be accommodated first. The following table shows the quantity of some of the principal articles of produce left at tide- water from the commencement of navigation to the 22d of August, inclusive, during the years 1453, 117 days; 1864, 107 days, and 1855, 108 days:— Recut or PRopucR AT TiEWATER. 1854, 1855, Canal open. ry bla , do, Rye, do...

The hotels, and even many private boarding houses, have been well filled with basinees mea from all parts of the country, gathered here to make their annnal purchases. Owing to the extension of rai! road facilities at the South and Weet, in connection with lines of steamers running between this city end Savannah and Charleston, merchants in that direction are enabled to make their usual purchases of fall and winter stock» to much later periods ia the season. Thone who bought carly last year, did wo when goods were high, sud which before the chore of the season declined, by forced anction ales, full twentyfive per cent; while those who en tered the market late had the advantece of baying cheaper goods, while those «hs bought early enffered by it.

Assortments of fancy caasimeres are scarce, and selected styles are difficult to be had, ex- cept at considerably enhanced prices. Doeskins sell at about $1 25 a $150; heavy grades for overcoats are in good demand. Coarser grades of hosiery are offering more freely, but well made heavy goods are still in good demand. Domestic goods are also more active; the supplies of cotton fabrics, however, keep in full stock, and rather in excess of the demand, while prices since our last report have not exhibited material variation.
