With fair amount of activity, there was generally
strong stock market to-day with but little resistance
from the bears and the amount of transacticns was
checked by the indifference CT sellers to operate The
effect of the Pacific Mail oyerissue is exhausted, and
the favorable elements of the market have resumed
tbe;r influence The outside movement is again eonsid-
cradle and without indscrminate speculation, there
is more disposition shown to take an interest in stocks
which will p obably be favoably affected by the gen.
era IMPROVEMENT in the traffic and business of the
West Pacific Mail opened at 81, and improved during
he day to 92I closing at 81 bid. The investigation OF
the stock account is still slowly proceeding, and the
amount of irregulary luctuates from hour to hour.

to-day was about 700 shares, wholly, 1t Is still be-
Geved the result Of caeessness and not intent on the
part of Mr.. Hoffman. Panama improved to i1i' ana
closed firm at that bid The latest advces from New
Grenada are that the Senate has rescnded the power
of the President to negotiate with the Panama Com
pany, and that Mr.. Sanford the agent of that Com
pany, will return to the United States. The negotiation
however, is not abandoned and the Company have
still confidence in a favorable result on the return of
Mr. Sanford to New-Grenada. Between the Boards
