THURSDAY, July Pm.
We have had an improving Stock Market during
the day and the tone Of the dealings has been
stronger for nearly all Of the prominent shares The
bears seem TO have Withdrawn from active opposi-
ton and there probably smaller short interest al
the Board than for some months. The present move
ments seem TO originate in the street and are parity
base no coubt upon the idea of largely increased
business over our railway lines during the ensuing
Autumn. Outside Of the circle Of stock operators 10
Wall and William streets there is but little disposition
az vet 70 speculate for the rse-but the nistive -
taken by the parties engaged with the anticipa-
ton of a support the part OF the public, which
is always more likely to follow rising thea
a falling market. The most important movements OF
the day were in Ne~-YoTk Central, Galeua and Rock
leland; but the Improvement became quite general
az the first session of tne Board progressed, and al
the clo.e there was brisk demand for msjOrity of
the stocks, which may be said TO have speculative
vitality at the Board. Michigan Southern Guaran-
teed and Michigan Central both in good demand,
the former advancing to u! at the First Board, and
to 2I at the Second and the latter closing m demand
in the afternoon at 40i. The advance in ths last Is
partly OWING to the necessities of the shorts who have
been obligtd to buy for delivery maturing contracts
Reading opened rather heaviy, and was dull at iol
at the close but was better aga'n between the ses-
siors. and sold up to Al in the afternoon. There was
considerable animation at the Second Board, but no
excitement Gnd very fair improvement was estao-
lsbeo in prices without much increase in the voums
of business ew.York Central advaGced 10 133, AMI
