MONDAY, Feb. 11-6 P. M.
The excitement and activity in Wall street this
morning were greater than we have known for years.
Crowds collected in all the brokers' Offices long be-
fore the adjournment of the board, anxious to get
the first intelligence of prices and sales. The i'm
provemeLt in the former and extent of the latter
must satisfy the most sanguine BULL in out of the
street. Outside orders to buy are coming in with
great rapidty, and orders withdrawing stocks from
the market are plenty enough among the brokers
At the first board, Virginia 6's advanced per cent.

Pittsburg Railroad, Ia; Galena and Chicago Rail
road, Cleveland and Toledo Railroad, 81; Chicago
and Rhode Island Railroad, Ia. The aggregate Of
sales at the first board to-day was greater than
we have known in any day for the past five
years. Nearly every stock In the list participated
in the movement. Nicaragua, Cumberland, Erie,
Reading, Michigan Southern Cleveland and Toledo,
appeared to be equally active. Illinois &c trail
Bonds sold to large amount at the advance. After
the board the market Stacked up little. The ad
vance in Reading to-day was less than in any
other leading railroad stock on the list, while
the transactions were quite arge, running up about
Six thousand shares. The rise in Western Railroad
shares ia the feature OF the market 1t Is very gene
raj, and seems to have but just commenced. In
Michigan Southern there is decided corner The
street has been pretty well impressed with that fact
to-day. Since the parties interested in the deve
lopement of the resources of the road commenced
purchasing, buyers have rapidly increased until the
stock has become exceedingly scarce, and some OF
our strongest houses were unable to-day TO fulfil
their contracts. There was quite an excitement
among the shorts, and at the close OF the market
this afternoon very active demand ex-
istcd. We know of several holders who
we're unable at the close to make their
deliveries and the probability is that tomorrow they
will have to pay pretty round prices The corner Is
about as clean thing as we have known for long
