THURSDAY, Aug. tsp,

There was very strong movement IN the STOCK
market this morning. although the transactions IN the
aggregate were not very large. The most marked
activity was in Central which sold to the extent OF
1000 shares, advancing steadily to III. but closing
dull at III The activity and strength 10 this stock
had an influence upon the whole market as the eau
proceeded and without large transactions quotations
touched points generally higher than yesterday. AT
the close of business, however, the top prices were
scarcely sustained and in the street between the
Boards the prominent fancies offered at slight
d. cline partly under the influence of the foreign news
which was construed unfavoraby. Harlem Preferred
was unusually active, and advanced TO 35l-an i'm
provement Of II Y cent within two days. The move
ment is based partly upon the improving condition Of
the road, and partly upon the general upward
tendency OF the market. There appears to be little
doubt that in 1860, if not in 1859, the road
will earn dividend the Pre- 'eTed Stock
although the ezigences of the Company may no. allow
il to be paid. Some disbursements necessary for
new Depot buildings at Forty second street. and at
other points the line, and for the city track in
Fortysecond street and Madison avenue TO Cen
trail Park and these may interfere with the pay nent
Of earned dividends. The Western shares were with
out much change, but generally strong. The demand
