BerkyY MARKEE ‘Tompay, Feb. 10—9 P. M. ‘The stock merket ocntinues very much depressed. ‘The amount of atceks pressing for sale js daily increas ing, and there appears to be agrest anxiety to realize, ‘The transactions in all the jeading railroad stocks were quite large this morning, ali at lower prices. At the first Doaré Missouri @’s fel off 1 per cent; Ilinots Central bonds, %; Delaware and Hudson, ; Oumberland, }; New York Oentral Rallread, %; Evie, ; Micbigan Beuthorn, 1; Clevela:d and Toledo, >; Ohloago and Rook Island, 3; Carton Company, \. Reading opened at yesterday’s prices, but improved m fraction be fore the close, A feeling of apprebension pre valied smong ihe several cliques of heavy hold ers, and but for the rapid decline tm prices such & movement would produce, we should see immense amounts of stock puton the market for sale, As it bs, prices are destined to touch much lower points. Michi gan Bouthern has fallen four to Sve per cent since the dividend; Cleveland aad Toledo is with great diffioalty sustained; Erie, Reading and New York Centra! al! must ative wey before the pressure upon the market and the eppreaching Opanoial stringency. The different cliques have carricd their grist about as long as thelr power will permit, They fiad no relief from outside par- chasers, and there is no other alternative but to let them go im o way, if possidie, to prevent se rious secrifices. New York Central is sustatuod tm a degree by the closing of the books; but the pressure of stock upon the market when they open, will be sufficiently great to break down prices, the bogus quotations trom London to the contrary not withstanding. No one on this side oan be decetved by the operations re- ported in the London stockjobbing cireulars. The modus operandi of getting one of our railroad stooke quoted in the London market is too well understood here to require any explapation, The thing has been overdono; it hav been rus into the ground by ether companies before the financiers of the New York Central Company attempted tt, We suggest to the Central poopie the policy of getting the Credit Mobilier to take hold of this stock. It mighi succeed better than the London stock jobbing dodge. ‘The changes and floctuations im the stock of the Michigan Southern Railroad Company, during the past few days, bave been the cause of much inquiry om the Stock Ex- change. It bas 1 isen and fallen shout 1 per cent daity for sometime. It appears that dividend day had arrived and the treasury was notin funds. To meet the difficulty ro- course has been bad to the usual methods in such cases “made and provided.”” The Company could not afford to pass ibe dividend—the stock would fall im price and hur! its friends, Agatn, % bad large loans in Wali streot—some say $1,600,000—and % woald Lot answer to distarb the nerves of the movey lenders. Bonda to the extent of $500, - 00 are said to be due in April next, avother reason why the price of the stook should be maintained at all hazards. Ip addition to all this, the Michigan Southern Company bas been a 10 per cent dividend paying concern, and ite stock at one period was 140 per cent. lis brilliant svocess bas been the means of introducing many West ern enterprises upon the New York market, and it ts dovetatied in with certain other corporations that might “ev flor some” if amy accident befel it. For these, and otber rossons, a dtviderd of & per cent was considered necesrary; and ip spite of some obstacles thrown in tho way by men who thought otherwise, the thing came off im the regular way at the regular time. While it was at all Goubiful the steck rose and {fell ae above stated; but ‘ae 200n as the affair was finally fixed, it fell, never to ries again, if the pablic are put im possession of ali the fasts of the case precisely as they are. And yet we seeno diffor not between ibe ogurse of this company and that of many others. They all do the same thing, and pojhing Is sald about it, As lopgas the dividend is declared tise matter of no fort of coasequence where i comes from. After the adjournment of the board the following stocks ruled at lower prices. Michigan Southern feil of! 36 per cent; New York Contra) \; Galena and Chicago \.

A very dull feeling prevailed at the close, and the tendency wes towards lower prices. There was a rumor current yesterday afternoon and this morz'ag bat the Michigan Southern Rallroed Company hai mede 8 Dew tssve of 3,500 shares of stock and pot them upon the market for sale, to raise the proceeds to pay the Gividend resently declared.
