FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MON MAR KET.

SUNDAY Feb. 2s-sP.M.
The stock market closed yesterday with great
buoyancy and great activity. The sudden advance
in prices brought buyers in by the dozen, aud they
took hold with much spirit. The decline Of the pre-.
vious day two seemed 10 increase the appetite OF
Spectators for rise and they rushed in with the
widest energy and excitement. Throughout the
transactions Of the second board yesterday the Ten
dency was upward. The demand for stocks OK.
ceeded anything we have noticed for years and the
desire 10 get hold Of the different speculative de-
scriptons was most intense. II was considered
great favor to get them at any price and large ope.
rations were made at prices considerably above rates
current at the close. This advance was willingly
paid and buyers were glad 10 ill up their lines upon
any terms. The improvement in prices is not under
the circumstances, at all extraordinary. Every in
dication points to a money market which for ease
cheapness and abundance has never been equalled
Throughout Europe the supply Of money IL largely
in excess a the demand and the rate Of interest in
London has already reached points lower than have
been realized for years. II is our impression that
the sduction just made by the Bank Of England
places the per centage lower than ever before
known. Our rates rule comparatively high, but still
far below the ordinary standard The effect Of this
plethora in the money market has hardly yet been
felt in stocks. II is true that a very
important advance, compared with the lowest
points, has been realized; but compared with
prices current at this time last year we are
far behind and IL can hardly yet be called an inha.
ton. The slight reaction reported during the mid
die Of the past week would have occurred under
most any circumstances, from the rapid rise of the
previous week or 70, but its moderation was owing
To- the fact that the brokers, general thing are
not overburdened with stocks The large outside
consumption has made tquite difficult for the bears
or sellers TO make their deliveries. The attempt 10
break down the market originated with this short
interest, and they made every effort 10 make the
reaction more permanent and more positive. They
signally failed in this movement from the in
herent strength Of outside buyers and holders. The
stock freely thrown upon the market TO break IL
down came from the hands Of brokers, and the
clique Of shorts evidently have been mach dsap-
pointed in the temporary and moderate success Of
their operations. The outside operators not only
held on to their stocks, but bought freely that
the decline was AZ once arrested. The brokers are

they appear not only to have the disposition, but
the means TO pay for and pocket the entire capital
stock of all the most prominent concerns afoat.
The accumulation of capital in the hands of CAPT
tasts, and the absence of all ordinary me-
thods Of employment, force holders into the
Stock Exchange for even ordinary rates of in
terest. The great mass of outsiders are
firmly convinced that prices for all our leading
railroad securities unwarrantably deprecated,
and that wide margin exis1s for permanent i'm
provement. We coincide with them partially in this
belief We find that bank stocks have almost en-
tireiy recovered their former position. With few
exceptions they rule at points well up TO quotations
current previous to the revusion and suspension.
This recovery in this class of securities is not
sidered at all extraordinary unnatural. and why,
then, should q partial restoration of the mar
ket value of railroad stocks be considered en-
trely speculative? II is well known that
banks have been serious sufferers by the hume
rous heavy failures, and that their assets must
be materially reduced in actual value. Every
effort has been made to disguise this fact, and
the public may have been in measure deceived.
The resumption enabled many of the banking insti-
tuticps in this city to pay dividends, and the law
allows them to consider and count as good any bills
receivable upon whchanything has been paid within
two years. In this way the affairs of our banks
plastered up, the stockholders agreeaby deuded
by the payment of dividends, and the market value
of the stock restored rapidly to its former level The
depre in stock securities during the panic was
universal. Bank stocks and State stocks raiiroad
bonds and railroad stocks all went down together;
but far the recovery in bank stocks has been fun,
while in railroad stocks it has only been partial The
reform introduced and practiced in railroad manage
ment has worked wonders in restoring value to this
class of investments, while nothing has actually
CURED to give greater value to bank stocks or to
improve the character of the assets OF these instu
