SUNDAY. August l0--o L. M.
At the close of the stock market yesterday there
slight depression in prices but considerable activity
among the fancies 1t is probably the effect of too sud-
den rise in the early part Of the week reaction doubt
less caused by parties realizing profits 1t cannot how
ever in the face Of the existing abundance Of money and
the prevailing disposition purchase continue for any
length Of time We look for active and buoyant week
purchasers have not only the means to carry what
they have but to largely increase their supplies and we
rec daily indications Of speculative feeling spreading
among outsiders This favorable feature in the

that about entering upon active upward move

vanced considerably recently, but the margin by no
means exhausted Long Island, stoningon, and Hudson
River railroads have been the favortes, and still CONT
nue. So Harlem is Improving slowly but steadily, and
we see good why 1t should not touch eighty
per cent within the next thirty days. Erie Railroad
is pretty well sustained in the face Of steady in
crease in the issue of new stock 1t Is estimated
that about one million Of new stock will be put on
the market this year. But for this, higher prices
would be realized. New Jersey Zinc is firm Within
the past two three days immense quantity Of

be making good progress Ulster and st. Lawrence both
lead mining companies, firmly held and holders have
evidently great confidence in them. Ulster closed yes

two for st. Lawrence. There is one good point,

small capitals, which is than be said

In August last year. the amount Of specie shipped was
S2653 44 This year the amount shipped in the first two
weeks Of August, was s11595o4 At this rate the
expectation fer the month this year will cor
respond very nearly with the same month last year
In July, 1861 the shipments of specie amounted to
more than six millions of dolars--$G 0ol 170-and in
August there was falling OF of nearly four millions
Of dollars The outward movements Of precious meta

past day two by the steamships Northern Light and
Illinois is greater than the expectation will be for the
whole month.
This being the dullest month for shipments of mer
ebandise in the whole twelve, we may expect modcrst
exports Of specie the rest Of the year. ~ the great
