The Stock market was an improving one to-day
generally and prices for most of the leading railways
were frner and better. At the Fire. Board New
York Central was in fsir demand, and after selling
with some freedom at sol, was 6oally steady a. SOL
bid TIE Western shares we're generally more active,
but in Galens and Rock Island the movements sp.
peared 70 drag somewhat until toe afternoon session,
when both were to ! Z cent higher. The
most decided i'm 5rovemeut Of the day wss in
Michigan Central, which, from 4Oi 10 the
morning, advanced to Ill a: the Second Board
and was quite active. The slight Improvement
in the business Of the two Michigan roads, and the
prospect Of further increase at the close of navga-
ton have together suggested the new movements in
these stocts the orders for Michigan Central coming
mostly from Boston. Southern Guaranteed advanced
TO II, and was steady at this price during the day.
Illinois Central and Toledo were both frmer, the lat
ter advancing to l9 in the morning. and to 10; in the
afternoon. At the Second Board the market was
quite animated and there seemed to be rather more
speculative vigor in the operations than for sew
eral days past, although the movements were
rot marked by any decided buoyancy. The
bond list displays . wel-distributed business,
wthou marked charge in prices. State stocks were
q little frmer, ard for some descriptions of Railway
bends there was more inquiry. The demand for we'll
approved City bonds for investment continues good,
and large private sales reported from day to day
in St. Louis, Chicago y cents, and Louisyiles. The
