SATURDAY, Aprn J-P. N.
Tie stock market was stronger and more cheerful
in its general tone to-day t0sn for some time past and
for several of the most popular stocks there was de-
cded and well sustained advance up 70 the close oil the
day. The most important improvement has been 10
the Pacific Mail and Panama shares, the former upon
the expectation of q withdrawal OF Vsnderots oppe-
son line Of boss and the latter on account OF slsrge
and increasing business In both of these stocks, the
short interest has undoubtedly suffered considerably
and operators for the rise have been very much On
coursged by their success. The movements IN other
stock. have beer sympathetic and in the Absence OF
sny determined opposition, the advances nave been
established without making large purchases or uncom.
monty rigorous efforts. Many Of the lesding bears,
foreseeDg that the oversaes snort account would
bring about reaction in the natural course CT thlngs
have no doubt covered outstanding contracts 70 large
extent, and consequently are quite willing to zee
rally pfces. Some Of these operators have In fact
shifted positions temporarily at least aud the market
has been strengthened by these circumstances very
much. The largest TRANSACTIONS of the First Board
were in Gsens, Harlan Preferred and Panama, IN the
last of which there was advance OF y cent over
closing quot sions Of Friday. The rise IN Gaena was
v cent and is mainly OWING TO the scarcity OF STOCK
for delivery. Harlem Preferred improved on the sn
nouncement Of the passage Of the Charter Extension
bill through the final stages of legislation at Albany
a result which lie considered quite important BY the
friends Of the road There was a steady and slightly
better market for other shares on the list and with
gradually Strengthening tone toward the oose of the
session bu. it was not until the Second Board that
any particular buoyancy or activity was displayed.
New.York Central, which opened In the morning at
753, was in brisk demand and sold at 76i in closing

TO 57l while in Hudson River, Harlem Preferred, and
Michigan Central there was also moderate improve
mert. The mort prominent feature Of the afternoon
business Was the further rise in Pacific Mall, winch
after ceiling at 49, in the morning, ia nped up to S5l
and WAS quite firm at the close. This new movement
was stimulated by the reported Withdrawal of Gsui-
sons steamers on the Pacific sde from the connection
with Vanderbits line on this side. The story looks
improbable, and originates perhaps, from the change
of steamers from semi-montby lne rs at first con-
templsted TO monthly trips as aterwsrd arranged.
Tie busness in State stocks was not much larger than
usual during the day, but prices show further
Improvement, and the market is very firm. Missouri
ia and Teune ssees were the most prominent in the
dealings, end both advanced per cent over Friday
quotations. Railway bonds steady, but the tran
sections we're not large at either session. The demand
TORS are advancing. Brooklyn City aivarced to 100
