An atiempt was made to get up o movement upon the passace of the Bridge bill, but it did net work. The legisiaiive inquiry ints consoifdation, it fs foured by capliaiists, will do the etock a great deal of injury, and epseulators outside of @ cer- faim Albany clique have no disposiion to toneb it. Erie gold tréely to-day, but prices closed weak. Reading fell off > per cent from the opening price, ,The sales eum up nearly (bree thousand cares, The great arrear in reoeipts, as shown by the last re- turns, has an unfavoradic influence upon thé market value of the stock, and chocks speculation. As snom as the werkly report of the coal business shows an incresse on last year, thero may be an upward movement; but we cannot look for that for ® long time. Reading will probe- bly fluctuate betwoon 90 » 96 por cent until a nearer sp- proach of next dividend day. Michigan Southern was the stiffest atock om the Ist to-day. The receipts of this com- pany for the first woek im April amounted to $66,000, which at the rate of about $286,000 for themonth. The pasenger business of this company this year has been unprecedented. Chiesgo and Rock Island fell off to-day, but m0 more than mizht have been expected from the rapid advance of the past two or three days. The cur rent price for the stock is by no moans extravagant. It ia at par @ permanent ten per cent investment, andshould command that price, Within the past eight months it has sold above par, dividend of. Galena and Chieago was heavy to-day at 115; per cent. In our remarks yesterday relative to the infamous circu- lar pot forth by this company, under date of Deo. 21, 1866, the printer made us ey that the \ stock will be well matured by the paymont of stook dividende,”’ when we latended (0 sey, well weqiercd by the peyment of stock dividends, The printer also made us say that “the mansgement will freely use the power placed im their hands by the constitution,’ when we ta- tended to say the power placed in their hands by the consolidation. Nicaragua Transit fell back to-day to the points ruling previous to the receipt of the war news from Costa Rica. The defeat of Walker and his expu'sion from Nicaragua are considered necessary te secure the re- establishment of the Transit Company. Ratiroad bonds are offered only in small lots, and do not vary mush trom day to day in market value.

The news from Europe is, on the whole, go, but the Cetails—the most important pointe—are more favorabie than we have before received for many menths. Tae effect will not be spasmodis, but will show itself ina gradual bat steady improvement. The fact that peace has been re- established, that the war which has, tor the past two years drained the channels of commerce of tens of mil- Mons of dol'ars in gold and silver, and deranged all the operations of trade, bus ceased, and that the movement of trade can now goon without interrupiion, {1 of the most vital importance, amd although anticipated, can hardly be realizec. Millions of money which have been boarded, will now come out and be employed in some legitimate enterprise. Gold which has teen scattered like water over remote eections of the world, will come back sgain and be employed for legitimate purposes, and tow that we have only the natural uses for our precious me'als, the product ot California and Australia will more rapid'y sccumulate, and forma more solid bass for the crecit eystems of the world, The steamsbip Baltic, at this port from Liverpool, brings four days lator inteiligence trom all parts of Ea- rope, The most important political news oy this arrival is the official announcement that the Paris Con‘erence hhad closed. and that peace hed been re-established. This event, so lng and anxiously looked for, gave general satasfacticn, and the effect upon financial affairs, bob in Lordon and Paris, was appsrent in toe improvement in the funds and @ reduction tn the ra'e of iaterest in the Bonk of Fngland and the Bank of Fraces, The pudiis mind had antiipated this movement, but it isnowa fixed fact. This is but the beginning. In a few weeks there will be, without doubt, another reduction, until the rate reaches the poiat ruling at the commencemont of the war, The current of specie will s20n be changed. The tide will goon set info the banks’ vauits, and give a ly of capi:al to the commercial classes. It little time to bring all thing# again into proper channels, but we can, withou’ the fear of disap- pointment, caleulate upon a stesdy impfovement in morey maiters from this date. Public circatars and pri- vale letters give most encouraging accounts; and the fature cortainly is entirely free from *he dangers and cit ficuties connected. with a state of war. Comercial matters can now be reguiated by the established laws of trade. We are now operating undera natural state of tuiogs, acd can therefore le:k for more nataral reeults. Quotations for consols show an advense of 3¢ per cent. By the Cambria they were quoted at 92%; per cent, and by the Baliic at 931; per cen’. The co'ton market bad im- proved.
