MINING BOARD.
THURSDAY, Aug. 23-P. N

THURSDAY, Aug. 2@P.N.
There was decided Improvement in the stock mar
ket to-day, and prices at the First Board advanced
from to / Y cent throughout the list Of active
shares and in some instances even y cent over
closing prices yesterday. There not much excite
ment, but steady demand, which carried up quota
tons with scarcely break on the way. The pur-
chases are now made with better judgment than fort
night since and the bear movement, although
signal failure, has evidently done some good in
shaking stocks out Of weak hands and in max
ing the speculation less violent. New York
Central was steady, at Sil during the morning
session. but after the Board was sold down to S4t
again. rallyng slightly In the afternoon, and finally
closing late in the day at Si4 9Sis. The trains are
now running usual and the damage by the food has
been slight. Erie advanced to 29s large purchases,
said to be on foreign account, and was firm through
the day. Hudson River brought $50, an advance Of I,
and is steady without especial activity. The Western
Shares generally very strong, and for Illinois
Central Toledo, Galena and Michigan Central, the
demand was animated and well sustained. The foreign
adyiocs in regard to nliaots Central speak of a
brisk inquiry for this ftock, and it is evident that
the business prospects and improved financial condition
of the Company begin 10 be appreciated in that quar-
ter. There war q larger business in Railway Bonds
prices but the changes are not important. At the
Second Board The market rather irregular, falling
off 1 for Reading, Michigan Southern Guaranteed,
and Toledo, bat advancing ] v cent for Michigan
Central. After the Board the market was 6rmer
again, and the Board prices were bid freely. The

doned. The closing prices were: Fer U. s. Dc, "a,
