will thus be perceived that nearly all stock securities
have advanced during the week. The advance is partly
due to general, though, we believe, not a concerted
movement the part Of the brokers' who desire to
advance in stocks for the sake Of stimulating business
partly 10 the recovery of business the leading Western
railroad lines, and partly TO the relaxation of the
rates for loans in the money market With
in the past day two there has been an in
creased inquiry for State stocks. Mssouris, for in
stance, have advanced nearly x per cent, and other
reliable State stocks have been equally popular Among
the bonds those which best known and nearest home
such, for instance, the Hudson River and Harlem
bonds-have likewise been sought after The Erie bonds
and stock have declined This may be considered the
natural reaction from the unounded advance which
caused by speculative movements In Erie securities
weeks ago. The Erie the whole is better condi-
ton now than it has been for many months, perhaps
years. but in saying this do not desire TO be under
stood as implying that either the stockholders the
secured bondholders have any security worth mentioning
Among the railroad stocks the most active and the most
popular have been Michigan Southern guaranteed, Rock
Island Galena, Panama, and two others On mos.
of these roads business is increasing The Rock Island
will show an increase in February over the same
month last year. The Galena may do 30 like
wise. The Michigan Southern will show q large in
crease for the same month; and it is possible that
the floating debt has been got into such shape that
few hundred thousand dollars may be spared by June,
for the holders of the guaranteed stock, who in that
month"; will be entitled to trifle eighteen per cent
on their stock. The Panama Railroad continues do
business which ustes premium Of sixteen per cent
the stock Nothing further has transpred with regard
the conflict between Vanderbilt and the Pacific Mail. The
latter company taking passengers for California al
800, out of which they pay s24 to the Panama Railroad
but the conviction gains ground that whatever the be
gerens may say mean, compromise between them Is
necessarily not far distant The California trade requires
a weekly line; the Nicaragua Transit long remain
cosed these two will, before long, compel set
tement of the contest The coal stocks all well held
and in fair demand. Delaware and Hudson will probably
90 good business this year. Cumberland Coal which
has been reorganzed, will likewise money Nothing
allowed to ranspre with regard to the prospects of
DIVIDEND but those who know best, 10 think that
very fair profits will be earned this year and the
advancing steadily The great railroads to the West have
had another meeting, and have made fresh bargain II
will not last long The principle Of these bargains
neous and in practice they only lead to cheating and
| quarres. By the opening Of navigation il may be ex.
pected that the old war will be renewed.
