MoNDAY. August l-P. VI

With great dulhess, the stock market to-day Is
mark by considerable strength and the fancies gem
eray stand higher than Saturday. The result sus-
tans the remark in last that there was nOpressure
of stock on the market, ard that but moderate
amount Of buying would be required to give the mar
ket an upward impetus
The buyers to day were of good class, while there
was but little disposition shown TO increase the short
ue. AL parties seem disposed 10 let the market
advance, although a large party IN the Board
have 10 confidence in any permanent I'M
pTovemept, certainly not until after the West
tern roads begin 10 shov an actual increase OF
traffic. The Commission houses appeared TO have a
slightly increased amount Of orders, but the aggregate
is s,ll moderate One Of the features of the Gay Is
the limited transactions in Central of which sales OF
only % shares were registered at the morning board

obliged 10 buy for delivery, which csuses dulness.

vsncrg 10 - bid. There was rumor that there
had been some favorable negotiations toward al
arrangement with Com. Vanderbilt, but We think

change OF administration before the October election
has brought in some buyers. II is reported that Mr.
Stevens of Hoboken bas offered 10 furnish all the
money needed to complete the Loog Dock Improve
inert upon receiving some advantages of night OF way
through the tunnel. Harlem Preferred was firm at a
slight advance. The read is doing large business.
In the Western shares there was general improve
msnt, but the transactions were mainly confined 10
Gaena and Illinois Central. TIE former advanced 20
Cil bid, and the latter was in good de.
msni up TO the close, selling as high as
&C, buyer three, an advance of II = cent. The
feeling in regard TO this stock is improving again in
England and parties there Increasing their n
vtstments. The Sinking Fund Of about $4,000 e
month or $500 coo T. annum, taken, not from earnings
Sinking Funds usually are, but from free gifts of
lands is an attractive feature in that market. South
ern Guaranteed advanced = cent but was not ac-
tive. At the Second Board the quotations were well
