SATURDAY, Feb. Sc I

The stock market was quite buoyant this morning.
All the leading fancies were in active demand, and
an advance was realized, with one exc lion,
throughout the entire list. At the first board In.
diana SIS went up l per cent; Virginia 6's, l.; Mis-.
soun 6's, Z; Erie Bouds, 1876, 4; Canton Company,
!; Cumberland, 4; Clev Gland and Toledo, Ii; Erie,
/; Harlem, !; Reading Railroad, 2; Hudson Rail
ioad, 1. Nicaragua Transit fell of 4 per cent. State
stocks and Iailrosd bonds were freely of. red, and
found purchasers at better prices. Cumberland Coal
was the most active fancy on TIE list, and closed q.
an advance on the opening price. The purchases
buyers option thirty and sixty days continue very
heavy, and as they are made by parties Who have
the abilityto carry every share as 1t c1mes in, the
probability is that sellers will find o scarcity of
stock when they want it for delivery. E.ie Railroad
is sustained upon the effect Of the recent sue ,es sful
financial operations Of the company. The TACT that
the income bonds were paid as presented, and that
the interest due on the LIST inst. was promptly paid
has been sufi ,ient to enable the bulls to keep up
prices and make q good show OF frmness. With
perhaps two or three exceptions, sellers have much
the strongest position; and time, which is the great
regulator of the fancies, and the entire chapter of
accidents, aid the bears wonde fully in their
operations.

We understand that the recen, pu ,cha ,ers of the
Pa ker Vein steamships have had offers ma lie to
them, by some foreign houses, for several Of their
yesse's. Mr.. Crom veil Is now in Baltimore, aud it ia
to be hoped that before he leaves the merchants Of
that city will have induced him to continue the
line unimpaired TO that port. Tneir interest and
that Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
must be closely identified with their steamships.
II this line Is abandoned II will be the last the citi.
zens Of Baltimore will have built UPON New York
capital.
