MOREY MaRKS?. Faway, May 9—6 P. M. ‘There was not much activity to-day in the stock mar. het, and the tendency of prices was downward. It sp- pears a6 difficult to depresa prices as to inflate them. ‘There is a < isposition to hoid for dividends, acd for an im- provement in market value, in the face of any phase ia the mcney market. The bears cannot meke much headway against the ability of holders to carry and the general productivenegs of the stocks in the marke‘. Tae superior character of the st2cks operated in must prevent any of thore serious fluctuations and depressions which in for- mer years were so frequent and #0 fatal. Nearly every stock now on the market is a permanent dividend invest- rent, and thore who have the capital to hold will not submit to any great sscrifice upon any sudden contrac: tion cf the money market, The bear interest has until very lately been the sa‘est and most profitable side for speculators, At the time when the market was filled with wertbless fancy stocks, which never earced and never paid a cent of dividends, when the interest account was in favor of tellers, with nothing to offset {t, then the bears made all the m ney and the bulla were almost ia- variably Icsers, At that time railroad stoeks which had never palda dividend ranged as high in the market as thoee paying regularly mght and ten per cent per annum now do. It is notat all strange that sudden panics used to overtake specu'a‘orsin the midst of their bubbles, and rpread terror far and wide. A very different state of things existe at the present time. Non-dividend earning stocks rule at such reduced figures that there is little margin left for depreciation, while these earning and psyirg diviiends regularly, rule at prices, as. general thing, within their intrinsic value as permanent investments. Taere are just about fluctuations enough, and toa suffisient ex.ent, to give each class of stock speculators small profits and a fair amcunt of busine: Speculators in stooss do not now make and lose fortunes as rapidly as in times past, but they go on gradually ascumulating or gradually losing, aud spreading over a period of years what in former times was the work of afew months. The change is de- cldedly for the better. It gives more permanency to the stock business, and more value to money in the minds o- opera‘ors. At the first board to dsy Erie was the most active and the steaciest stock. Reading was well sustained, with salex to some extent. Western railroad socks were compa- ratively quiet, and closed at lower prices. Micaigan Cen. tral declined % per cent; Michigan Southern, \; Pana- ma, %; Galena and Chicago, . Virgiois 6’s advance 34 percent: Railroad bonds do no! vary much in mar- ket value. The sales are rot lar, yad those made are at full prices, Cumberland aud Nicaragua are duli and depressed. These are the lowest fancies on the list, and speculation is completely dead in both. The best stock on the markct for a rise, beyond all question, is Ecie Railroad. When the receipts for this month ara summed up we look for an active outside demand that will put the stock considerably above current prices. At the second board the market was a little weak. The transactions were small. New York Central Railroad fai) off 14 per cent; Readiog, 34; Erie, 14; Hudson River Ratl- road, 4. All other stocks closed without change in prices. At the cloge our quota‘icns were barely sustained.

A special meeting of the stockholders of the Vermont and Massachusetts Railroad Company was held in Boston Wednesiay forencon—Thomas Whittemore, the President: im the chair.

The acts were unanimously accepted by the meeting. It was voted to authorise the directors to dispore of these bonds in the best manner to pay off the debts of the road. A large portion of the old bonds will be given for the new issue, the holders of $776,000 ont of $956,000 having signed to thateffect. The tras- tees under the new mortgage are John H.

Stewart & Co., issued for trans- mission abroad by the steamship Eriesson, gives the fol- lowing review of the cotton market for the past two weekr:— Our leet circular was issued on the 26th Gar tecd Bal- tic. On the following fuesday morning the Persia ar- rived with dates to 19th ult., reporting » business of faithiog, but 126,000 Dales, and ‘an acvance of nearly closing with less spirit. Trade was it and an absence of stocks, and with t gle exseption ot mcney being difficult to procure to carry forward spe- culation, all other cirsumstances were favorable to much higher prices being ss0n obtained. It was expected that such ascounts would bring forward buyers at higher pricer, but the amount on sale bing increased, the day cloged at lower ratess witha heavy feeling, which has. continued without intermission up to Thursday of the present week. Houlders in the meantime beiog anxious: to reslize on a part of their stocks, abs'ed their terme, and the accepted decline smeunted to ful'y Px all, ¢ on the levs saleable descriptions. daily om stock have varied between and 1,600 bales. In transit cottons during the first week no sales were re- ported; recently several lota have changed hands at = tose to shippers. We resived by telegraph, on 9th, Liy- erpool accounts to 284, per North America, a+ and later to 26th, per America, at Halifax. Sul jnent- iyour market recovered \c. of the decline, with ia, e two days ot 5,000 ba‘es; bu’ as the supply is still ex- cessive, we cannot quote a fim market until sales are extended. The receipts do not fall off fast enough to indicate s crop uncer 3,500,000 bales. Year before j 410,000 bales after chia date, and unless the Arkansas and Ked rivers, which have recently fallea, contique at an upnayi steg*, woich we do not think at all ble, the delivered crop will exceed 3,600,000 there is more cotton in the interior than there and greater inducements to bring it to market. Alth there may be some dirappoiniment at the eontinued large delivery now acvised of from this side, the absence of stocks sbould cauti nepinvers against allowing the emporsry scrplus from - g into the hands of 4; ors to hold for the ope.ing of the chepter of acciients othe next crop. On this pciat, we have merely to say, that te season for planting is raid to have been late, From New Orleans, in a letrer just reseive3, our corres. poncent remarks, ‘Che weather during the past fort- night has been warm, with occasional seasonabls showers.
