MINING BOARD
FRIDAY. Aug. I7-P. NJ.


Board, without much excitement The Efforts to break
down prices continue but the stock taken freely,
and in about every instance where the efforts were
strongestto depess quotations they became better and
rmer at the close of the calls the market apparently
gathering streng 40 the short lines increase. The
bears were somewhat tame before the adjournment,
and the feeling of buoyancy and confidence was eq lal
to that of any day we have had but with more udcous
buying and with more steadiness in the advances.
New-York Central was carried up TO SOL and before
the day closed was in good demand at 81, with bur
little stock offering. The promises for the Autumn aud
Winter business Of this line favorable
enough to warrant the expectation OF the
largest profits ever earned in any six months
since the consolidation The resumption of per cent
dividends is rendered almost certain, and estimate
of 10 per earnings for the year from Septem-
Der 1860 TO Sept 1861 is not over sanguine. Hudson
River was steady IS in the morning and 49, aJSi in
the afternoon The business of August is thus far in
Excess of the estimates and the through traffic is
increasing largely. The greatest activity was in the
Western shares, and especislly in Gaena, Illinois
Central and Toll do, all of which advanced steadily
over closing prices of yesterday. Rock Island, and
Burlington and Quincy were also better and very
stroIg 1T the close and for Michigan Central the de-
mand was spirited and earnest. The " first guns Of
the Autumn traffic are beginning to be heard and on
some of the lines the increase is mu'h in excess OF
the ost sangune estimates. The Illinois Celtral
rolls up gain Of nearly $50 900 in its second week.
and the Galena $l2 600; while for Chicago, Burlington
ard Quincy Rock Island, and the Michigan roads, the
returns promise large gains Toledo shows an increase
of 5000 and is evidently turning the of the dull
period After Sept. the business of this road will
show handsome GAIN but the great traffic of the line
does not commence until the cose of navg CATION. The
bond market is steady, without especial change. At
the Second Board there increased dema ld for
all of the leading stocks and the ma ket displayed
great strength. Illinois Central advanced to So; To-
ledo to IL 3; and for Rock Island Michigan Central
aud Southern guaranteed, prices were from ! TO ] T.
