Some of our cOal-minng and coal-carrying com
panits are holding up their heads little stronger,
| under the prevailing impression that tins years
business will afford better profits than The last. The
surplus stock is not excessive, buyers seem to take
hold earlier than usual and small advance will be
realized over last years prices. The strong hope
entertained that Congress will do something to help
the iron interest, gives quite tone to the mining
interest Other stocks are firm at our Board, un'
der the depletion of the Treasury. All the invest
| ment stocks are firm, and steadily creeping up Ia
high figures. 7 he fancies have gone entire out oil
| fashion, notwithstanding the ease with which any
| thing havir the least merit eau be carried. The
| freiehting business 10 the South is as heavy as at
any former period, and our hotels are crowd ID
| with strangers.
