THURSDAY, July 22-P.

mepts OF the Stock market to-day, and large busi-
at both sessions of the Board at improving prices
| The operating parties were unusually well scattered
the Board and the distribution Of business ndi
Gated decidedly than for some time past the
presence Of outside orders. At the First Bosrd the
trsnsacons largest in Toledo, Rock Island Ga
lena and Reading, al at an advance on closing prices
Of yesterday. The Western shares particularly
seemed in greater favor, and for the three above
named there active and sustained de-
msLd. This more favorable feeling in regard
TO Western railways is influenced by recent accounts
Of their business prospe Cts which quite
agrg. The crop movements are accelerated by the
recent ae vance in Breadst1is aud the old crop
pushed forward rapidy-much to the advantage of the
freight business Of the railways. The afternoon ses
zion was the most excl ing witnessed for several
weeks The upward movement was quite general.
Rock Island up TO 7s with sales Of $50 shares,
closing fraction lover, but quite strong. Gslens
touched 9lt, bu, eleo tagged little in closing trans
actions. Michigan Southern took stsr. and weLt up
to 23s end &3l short time. The decrease of busi-
ness on this road has been quite light recently
| pared with other lines at the Wes. aud it is
| stated that the affairs of the Company are grad
uslly getting into more satisfactory condition.
| New-YoIk Central Hudson River, Harlem and Ilinos
| Central also better, though no. quite so promi-
nent in the harsacons ss the stocks before named.
One of the most important advances Of the day was in
I Pacific Mail Steamship Company, which from 81 in
the morning went up to 30 in the afternoon, and closed
at the price bid The expectation of extra dividend
| has given THE mpulse patty, and the demand for
| short stock has assisted the movement very much.
The experience of the bears in Pac ic Mail Gaena
aud Rock Island has had dsmpenipg effec. upon
their operations and there is much less disposition now
10 make new contracts for decline. The advantages
of speculation are strongly with he bulls, and nothing
but the spstby Of outsiders has enabled their
| opponents 10 carry a temporary success.
| In Bonds fair buness was done at fall
prices. State Securities quite firm. Missouris,
| Vrginiss and Tennessees show slight improve
ment. La Crosse Land Grant Bonds advanced TO 81 h.
