FRIDAY, March 16-P. N.

The Stock market was very active this morning, aud
with considerable excitement prices had an upward
movement during the stioD. The registered trans
actions show increased business in State Stocks aud
Railway Bonds, and the Improvement now progressing
appears TO be distributed through investment as well
as speculative securities. The volume of business has
been considerably increased by the esh interest taken
in the operations by outside parties and there is evil
IDENTIFY basis for the present advance that at any
time during the last elk months. In New-York Cen
trail the operations were quite large and sales
made as high 7is during the call; but
later in the session it dragged slightly, and
ost after the adjournment sold down to al Between
the sessions it was announced by telegraph that the
Senate had adopted the Sessions Compromise bill"
as substitute for the Assembly BILL and the stock at
once advanced to IS. In this shape the bill goes back
to the Assembly, where it may again undergo legis-
lative manipulation. If it becomes law with the
conditions now attached, the NewYork Central Rail
road would not suffer material deriment. The Western
shares were quite active, and especially Gaena, which
advanced TO 60i but fell off slightly from this price a.
the close. Rock Island, Michigan Central and
Toledo, were also better, and the dealings
in the last named were larger than for
some time past. Michigan Southern old and guaran-
teed shares were in demand at quotations, but the
business was not large in either. Illinois Central and
Hudson River did not sympathize with the upward
movement, but were steady at slight decline from
quotations of yesterday. At the Second Board the
market was active, and generally very well sustained,
but there was important Improvement except in n.
Y Central which cold as high 75I though afterward
fraction lower. Pacific Mail advanced and Michi-
gan Southern old sodat9 Later in the day prices were
little of from the highest points reached, but the mar
ket closes with seadness and shows more realsrength
than had been anticipated even by operators for the
rse. With occasional reactions, viii III are always to
be expected on q rising market as we'll as on falling

who indulge in hopeful views. The closing prices
