Tbe eiock market was again dull and stag
nant for tbe geueta! list, but was relieved from
entire monotony by the bear movements in
Pacific Mail and Burlington and Quincy, which,
however, monopolised all the interest taken in
dealings Tbe room was inclined to be bearish
upon tbe expectation of a material decrease in
the surplus reserve of the banks, as the state
ment to-day reflected all the gold which has
been extorted. Tbe statement, however, was
sometllng of a disappointment, os tbe loss
was only about half that anticipated, and the
expected decline did not follow. The opening,
however .was steady,lsit Bur'ington and Quincy
was -elected for a vigor assault considering the
extent of speculation; the pressure uctoailv
forced it off 7 per cent, to 7£ the lowest prtw
the stock has seen in ten years and 44 below tbe
lowest point of the November drop. The action
of the House iu amending tbe postal subsidy
bill was regarded as dangerous to the bill, and
Pacific Mail was knocked off suddenly after tbe
opening from 8844 to 87, a parttai recovery fob
lowing. The reet of the market was absolutely

opened at 1 point decllue on n-ar and un
cuanged on lata raontbs, closing easy at a de
cline of 5®6 points on new crop and I®,B points
on other month* from yesterday's closing
prices. The market was again slightly de
pressed for this crop. Liverpool was weak,
and receipts at the ports were large. The visi
ble supply also showed an increase over last
year, but the next orop continued to attract
more attention. Buyers will get a better con
tract after Sept. 1, and it is believed that the
high price of corn will cause decreased acreage
to be planted for the coming season. Spot oot

again be lifted much more than )rc. Oa* kept
pace with other markets, declining )*c. The
opening price* were steady, but a weak feeling
