FRIDAY. Aug. l2-P. Y.

After business had fairly opened at the Stock Board
this morning, it was quite apparent that, Temporarily
al least the market inclined TO an improvement IN
prices and there was disposition among the shorts
generally TO cover outstanding contracts, although the
leading bear operator of the Board was. as usual
large seller at the advances established Tie move
mepts OF tie day appear to be mostly among the
brokers'; but stocks have been thoroughly hammered
throughout the list for q week past, without much
effect and change in the tactics of some OF the oper-
ators has no doubt been influenced by the fair sp-
pearance of the market at the points touched. The
Western stocks particularly strong, although
uo very active. The expectation Of better traffic re-
turns during the Autumn which will undoubtedly be
realized on some OF the lines tends to keep the stocks
ont OF the street. and to prevent sales, even if it does
not tempt purchasers. Upon this basis the move
meuts for a rise have Just great strength, al
though they do not yet ens, outside support to any
extent There was a brisk demand for New-fork
Central at TIE First Board and the second call the
stock adv ar ced 10 20 though little dull at the quot
alton Pacific Mail had rather an eccentric move
ment selling at II at the start then advancing to "a
with considerable vigor, and finally settling down to
56i in closing sales. The only definite information
We can obtain in regard to the matters between
the Mail Company and Commodore Vanderbilt is,
that attempts have been made to effect settlement,
and that they are stil in progress but the result sp-
pears to be as much mater Of doubt as heretofore
Reading was steady at from 81 to 49, closing little
dull at the last gu ,taton In Rock leland and Gaens
the transactions not large, but both stocks were
firm and fraction higher a. the second call. Tue
Michigan roads were ldl higher, with moderate
! trarsac,ous. TIE market WAS steady for Safe
Stocks, and prices were firm, without important
change. In Railway Bonds the business was limited,
but for the Erie issues there was better demani at
improved quotations. We hear Of private sales of the

market was strong, WITH decidedly improving tend
ency, though rather dull during the session. New
