railroads now before the Legislature, drew III
nearly every one else as buyers and the
market was rushed up with scarcely cheek

in consequence of tie rapid advance taking the quota
tons beyond limits At the Second Board the market
advanced from III to 7S under dispatches from AL
bapy that the Pro.Rata bill was virtually killed,
and that the Compromise Toll bill, noticed
Yesterday, would be passed. The market was also
strengthened by the statement that the Company has
notified the Governor officially that the road will pay
