The stock market was active to-day and stocks
were generally higher Private advices from Al
bany are to the effect that the logrolling process
will not end in the passage Of any bill hostile to the
railroads; hence, Central opened at 7s4, advanced
to J. receded to T. and closed 70 bid against III at
the close yesterday. Erie was in demand at an ad-
vance of per cent; the demand for this stock is
purely speculative, and no material advance is
likely to be sustained until the earnings of the road
improve materially. Galena and Rock Island was
firm; Toledo advanced Il per cent, and Michigan
Central as much. Michigan Southern improved
slightly from yesterday quotations. The earnings
for March were $l73 533, against $43 625 last year
increase, 500 90s. We hear rumor of compro.
mise between the new reform party and the pre-
sent Board Of Direction. Such compromise, If
judiciously arranged, might be popular and advan.
tageous. Pacific Mail fell off again, under pres
sure Of stock. 1t is said that the Panama
Railroad Company propose extending their
steam connections on the Pacific as
far as San Francisco, and an English
line between Panama and Victoria, touching at
San Francisco, is also spoken Of The demand for
State stocks day was quite active, and prices
were firmly sustained. This afternoon the market
very active and stocks closed steady at the fol
lowing quotations. Virginia 6's 93t I; Missouri
