FRIDAY, Nov. Bpm.
There was an enlarged activity at the Stock Board
this morning with general although not very great,
advance in prices. The exception TO the improvement
was in some Of the State stocks, which were rather

pulse which was inaugurated by the bank action OF
Wednesday. AT the Second Board there was a fair
amount Of business. and the buOyant feeling of the
morning was fully sustained. After the session the
street was good deal excited by the accounts Of the
free discountng by the banks, and with large dspo-
sition to buy prices rapidly advanced Central, which
