marked rise to-day was in Canton, which, after
deathhke trance of two years has awakened suddeoy
in one of is spasms Of buoyancy, and has advanced
snce Tuesday 81 v cent, selling to-day high as 22l
TIE improvement ia based upon the introduction of
horse railroads upon the property of the Company,
which will tend, it is supposed to rapidly deveope and
settle it, The advance has taken place almost entirely
upon orders to bay from Baltimore Central was quite
strong, but not very active. The market opened at
7Ci and advanced steadily to III under advices from
Albany that the prospects Of passing the pro-rata bill

was fIm without excitement and Panama quite buoy
ant selling high l3i against 133 yesterday. Hud
SCI River and Harlem bo rmerand more active In
the Weetern shares there fair amount Of business
