The week has witnessed the active revival in
stock values which has been foretold by many ex
perienced persons for some time past The in
creased earnings on the leading Western roads,
and the probable failure of the schemes of the DO
liticians at Albany, appear to have attracted the
attention of spectators, and to have led to pretty
liberal operations in the popular speculative
stocks. The advance has been very general and
very marked. It commenced week since, and
COMMUNICATION the present-yesterday, in the
failure of the leading Bear house-Messrs. Edward
b. Little Co. The operations of this house
have been Of such a character that their
suspension has long been expected by
experienced operators. They were heavy
sellers Of "calls for stocks and were besides them
selves the largest bear operators in the street The
well known wealth of the senior partner-brsther
and expartner of Mr.. Jacob Little-led people to
give the house full credit, notwithstanding the ex-
tent and character Of their dealings. Their suspen-
slon-on so moderate an advance in prices-will
naturally lead to some discussion among brokers
and operators.
With regard to the railroad legislation at ALBANY.
We can but refer to the daily reports of proceed
ngs. Our own advices Of the latest dates state
that some toll bill will pass this session; but the
precise nature of the bill, and the actual amount
that is to be taken from the roads, remain in
doubt There seems to be no prospect whatever
thatthe great principle of encouraging traffic will
be recognized by either house, or by Governor
Morgan. All three branches of the Legisla.
ture seem equally bent on doing their best to
drive business out of New York into Pennsylvania
and Canada; and the opinion which appears best
entitled to weight is that the Assembly will at last
bully the Senate into some kind of assent to their
views. The league of forwarders and canal men
and milers are understood 70 be marshalling their
strength to operate on both branches Of the Legis-
lature at the close Of the session; the Grand Trunk
Railway Of Canada, whose agents in Chicago, St.
Louis and Cincinnati are doing handsome bus
ness in transmitting produce from those cities di
rset to Liverpool by the Portland steamers, is aid.

ing the movement with charac teristic vigor and
liberality; and Governor Morgan, who is
said to be dazzled by the dim vision of future
senatorial honors, is classifying his record disgusting
all sound economists, and putting his friends here
to the blush, by aiding this scheme of spoliation
with oil his might.
Railway traffic continues to improve. The Galena
earnings for the second week in March only show a
decrease Of $40; the Illinois Central for the same
week shows an increase Of nearly $4,000. April
will probably show much larger increase on all
the roads. Fully one-haf the crop remains to come
forward, and we may expect an unusually active
spring season on the leading lines Of Western
travel
Some surprise has been caused by the unexpect-
ed decision Of the Legislature of Missouri to issue
100000 more bonds, In aid OF the railways
of that State. The Senate and Assembly, at the
last regular session. refused to issue these bonds,
on the very reasonable ground that the State had
railways enough, and that it was unwise to increase
the public liabilities until the roads promised to be
able to pay the interest on the bonds advanced to
them. Since then, it seems new light has been
vouchsafed to the Missouri Legislature and the
views of the Governor have been adopted. We are
bound to say that, in view of the present condi-
ton and future prospects Of the State of
Missouri, the new issue Of bonds is calcu-
lated to affect very materially tie value of the
bonds now aloat. The roads to which they are
issued can hardly hope to earn the money required
to pay the interest; and the amount now exacted
from the people Of Missouri by taxes is so consid-
cradle that, in the event Of any crop failure or
other disaster, it might be found difficult to pro-
tect the honor of the Commonwealth.
