MINING BOARD
THURSDAY, Aug. 2-P. NJ.

The market was active and better for local stocks
this morning, including New-York Central, Hudson
River and Harlem Preferred; but there was consid
cradle rregularity in the Western shares occasionsd
by the realizing of one two large operators who
consider il prudent to profits. This was espe
cally the Gaze in Toledo and Illinois Central, which
were sold down from 1 to II y cent below prices OF
Yesterday afternoon. The market took the stock very
well however, and although desultory hammering
was kept up during the day the effect upoo the general
market was not important A art reaction In prices
would not be unwelcome TO majority OF the Board
operators but generally speaking this is desired for
an opportunity to buy and the anxiety to get in as the
quotations fall of little has thus far a every instance
been sufficient self to check decline. The truth is,
that the ordinary rules Of stock speculaone set at
defiance by condition of things which ia destined to
raise very important section Of the country from ad
verify TO prosperity This fact will impress itself
upon the members of the Stock Exchange and the
public as the Autumn develops, unless Western men
are mistaken in their estimates of crop harvest
ipg The Temporary fluctuations of the Stock market
are of minor importance, stock values rule finally
rest ng upon Iroduciveness. Within thirty days PEG
ple will have an opportunity of judging whether the
prospects Of the West I'd of the railways both East
ard West have been exaggerated Toe Railway Bond

contioues but the supply of bonds is small. State
Stoke are generally rather lower At the Second
