Stocks were offered in large quantities, ang buyers were scarce. Reading sold to the greatest extent. All the second and third class of Western railroad stocks were dull and neglected at the decline. Galena aud Chicago was held at 118; offers of 116) a 116} were made without finding sellers, Chicago and Rock Island was steady at the advance reported yesterday. State stocks were a little more active than we have repo ted for some days past. Railroad bonds were not in Cemand at all this morning. The entire sales were under twenty thousand dollars. Indiana 5's de- clined } per cent; Missouri 68, $; Cumberland, |; Cleveland ard Toledo, 4; Erie RR., 4; Reading RR., {. There was alittle tightness in the money market to-day. We should not be surprised to see any day a pretty sharp tarn in the screws that would require sharp shinning among stock speculators who have large call loans hanging over them. At the second board Nicaragua Transit was bet- ter. All othér stocks of which there were sales were without change or lower. Illinois Central bonds fell off } per cent; Reading Railroad, }; Cleve land and Toledo, 4. Nicaragua Transit advanced { per cent. All the difficulties between the Nicaragua Transit and the Pacific Mail Steamship Company were settled today. The amalgamation has at last been accomplished. Speculators have for some time past been buying the Transit stock, with the ex- pectation of realizing a handsome profit as soon as the arrangement with the Pacific Company was made. It is our impression that if these purchasers do not sell at once their calculatians will disappear insmoke. We know that some of the oldest and largest holders have been gradually reducing their supplies. The Nicaragua Company is a very profita- ble concern to its officers, agents, and employ’s generally, but stockholders have rather a poor look for profits. The stock is not werth as much with the amalgamation as without. The company is falling into bad hands, All the best men in the manogement are silently slipping out. When they leave it the stockholders will get very little of its profits.

The financial and commercial accounts are not at ail ins- portant or interesting. Quotations for cotton remain unchanged, with only a moderately active market. Breadstuffs were lower. The weather hid been fine for the harvests. Money was easy, and con- sols closed at 91 per cent, which was a alight decline. There is no political news of consequence.

We know of no other source from which it could be derived than construction ac count, bat we have a little curiosity to know how it is done. If we succeed, we can afford to light a se- gar with our share of stock, It has been asked by some of the bull agents why the Clevelard and Toledo has been singled out by us for particular notice, just at this time. We reply, simply because we consider it the poorest and most intlated stock in the list at the prices at which it is selling. It is in fact the only stock within our knowledge which, by its Peter Funk divi- dends ond speculative purchases, has been pressed of late upon the attention of the public to that de- gree that it had come to be regarded as one of the substantial securities of the day. Stocks like Erie, Harlem, Hudson River, &., &e,, which have had their day, and being @ little older than the Cleve- land and Toledo, have already been compelled to thow their hands, are now confessedly bad, and rank bad. The Cleveland and Toledo, although no one whit better than the poorest of them, has as yet, by the means alluded to, been able to hold its head a hundred per cent above them. When the Cleveland and Toledo takes its rank where it be longs, we shall cease to single it out, and not before The holders of the first mortgage bonds of the Maysville and Lexington road having commenced proceedings of foreclosure, which the stockholders did not oppose, the holders of the second mortgage bonds have obtained an adjournment of the question to November, when a special court will bo held to try the case.
