Thursdays Tribune says of Wednesdays
New York Stock Market:
There was continuance, this morning of
the improved feeling of yesterday afternoon,
although in modified degree. A few de-
scriptions did not sustain the full advance,
but generally the market was strong until
toward the close of the session, when, under
free offerings of Stock, it exhibited signs of
weakness. There were some realizing sales,
l. L
the Stock Jobbing- houses and the street
operators. The Commission-houses al
though showing some increase of orders
were not very busy. The bears operated
with hesitation, as if lacking nerve to resist
the tendency of the market. Between the
Boards the market was steady but not very
active. Several private kilograms having
been received from Washington, announcing
the passage of the Franklin amendment in
the Peace Convention, and the probability
of conservative action on the part of the in
coming Administration, there was a very
active and buoyant market at the Second
Board, and amid much excitement, bulls and
bears contended for the lots of Stock on the
floor.
The shorts must have covered very LARGELY.
but the buying was general and very few
Stocks were offered on sellers options. Cen
traf, which closed yesterday at 791S, sold as
high as 80H after the regular session. Hi
nois Central was huoyant, touching 85,
against s2A yesterday; Erie was in de:
per cent. Hudson River was AZ bid, which
is per cent. better. Among the most active
Stocks was Cleveland and Toledo, which ad-
vanced to 36A. All the Western Shares
were in demand at advancing rates. The
market for State Stocks sympathzed with
the market for the fancies, and advanced
about per cent. Government Stocks were
also frmer, and in good demand for invest
ments. There was quite large and we'll
distributed business in railroad Bonds, with
advancing quotations. AT the close of busi-
ness in the street, the tendency of prices
was still upward, and any Stock offered found
ready market.
Thursdays Times observes respecting
Wednesdays Monetary matters:
The Federal negotiation of last Saturday
has made good demand for Money on the
street and at Bank, at cor per cent, and
lenders are in better spirits, while good bor-
rowers meet no difficulty in making up their
wants. The Banks have been drawn upon
for about Sc, 300, 900 ofthe IS, 200, ,O0Oawarded
al 9O44 per cent, leaving about $2OOOOOO
OF the proceeds of the Loan to be paid into
the Sub.Treasury by Friday or Saturday
night. The income of Specie from various
sources. including California deducted from
the sums paid into the Government, left the
Banks with about $34, 500, 900 in Specie this
forenoon while the same negotiation has
enabled them to add about 81. SOC, 600 TO their
Loans and Discounts the line of which to-
day is understood to be 1921 900 900, against
Sll9,236000 on the last weekly average,
The disbursements from the Sub. Treasury
show more activity to day, and as nearly ali
the Money returns to Bank, the Specie aver.
age of the next weekly return will be on the
rise again,
The Foreign Exchanges for this mornings
mail by the africa closed dull at lO5%6lO6
on London for Bankers Bills, and Merchants
Bills drawn against Produce from this port,
as well as Southern drawn Bills against Cot
ton, were done on easier terms than by the
previous mail. The best reason for this re
action, so soon after the advance of last week,
Is found in the heavy clearances of Produce, |
So O45, 600 in value from New York, and of |
10000 bales, equal to an Exchange of |
$6,O00,000 from the South. While these
movements keep brisk, the demand for Bills |
from the Import Trade is comparatively |
moderate, although we are glad to hear that
the sales of Goods to the South and West this |
week show decided improvement
The Provision Market in Louisville on |
Thursday was quite firm; the papers report |
sales of l,O65 barrels country mess Pork at |
SIC 75@l6 s71z; $50 brls. city mess at SIT,
and ITO casks Bacon at former rates.
NEW YORK CATTLE Market Thursdau
February 25.--At the Live Stock Market the
supply of animals has been unusually small,
the receipts being only l4,OO0 of ali kinds, |
which is lower figure than for any week |
in ten months past. The total receipts at
