TUESDAY, March I-P. NJ.
The buoyancy of the Stock market exhibited ye''er-
day was well maintained at the morning Boar to-day
with a larger amount Of tanss ctions in some deIcdp-
tons than has been done for long time Tne market
wss little irregular, but generally the tendency wss
strongly upward. The few bears left with oae excep-
tion did not appear disposed to resist the market With
any vgor but the contrary materially assisted the
rise by purchases 20 cover shorts There is rather
more doing by outside parties, and no doubt, if the
bul can keep the market buoyant one, this aid will
become an important element in the movement. The
most important stock to dsy was New-York Central,
Of which nearly 5000 shares sod, aargs portion
of which was bought by the shorts the quotation al
yapcipg in the street 50 from 800 yesterday At the
close the stock was more plenty and reacted TO 81.
The February business on this road is reported 10 be
light. Enc was dull but firm. The February receipts
are s53 600 behind those Of February last year,
bat it is thought that the business will settle up that
the earnings will equal those Of February, 1853.
Harlem Preferred was in good demand at about yes
terdsy's prices. The February traffic shows about
the came gain January, and this continued
Improvement Of traffic, together with the favorable
appearance of the bill before the Legislature for the
extension of the city lire to the Central Park and the
permanent establishment of steam at Forty'seoond
street, gives buyers grea. confidence. Reading wss
firm without important charge. Poetic Mall DID not
sympathize with the general market, ba. fell of
cent under moderate sales. We can hear of no nsw
feature in the position Of affairs between t1is Company
and Nj. NaCderOt excepting further reduction OF
fares In the Western shares there was considerable
activity under purchases by the shorts, snd the mar
ket was quite buoysnt. Rock Island sold to the ez'
tent of 600 shares, and touched 62. The February
earnings unofsisy reported to be about the same
as in February 1855 which is better than has been
expected. Gaens also improved, selling as high as
III but was weaker in closing transactions.
Michigan Central advanced to SO, with
larger business than usual. Taere was an
sctive demand for Southern Michigsa Pre-
ferred, and the market advanced to 49,, closing

the lsst f,cal Elk months. Illinois Central was no,
active but very strong, advancing to 500. In the
