that the management had determined upon a course
of action and that the plan proposed would prove advan
tageous to interest of stockholders We erstand
that few days win put at rest all doubts There were
good many operations to-day in the fance for cash. and
they formed the bulk of transactions. The market ex

more active than usual to-day Railroad bonds in
better demand at slight improvement in prices Bank
stocks we're more freely offered, and sales made to
moderate extent.

But while such favorable increase Of sales from most Of
our leading commission and jobbing houses is generally
reported few operators inclined to say that prices Of
goods have improved In the least that, admit
ting that the trade has become more animated 1t is still
undenisble that it has not become more lucrative In
deed, anything like forced business can prove
satisfactory to the owners Of goods Who by pressing
them upon the market effect large sales only very low
rates that in most do not expenses and in
several instances occasion r-eparabe losses We
confident that much of the present extended trade is of
this unnatural and unpromisng type Hence there is
no reason why should goat over our apparent but
most fallacious this seasons traffic termi
