OF Fridays New York Stock Market our
Saturdays exchanges observe:
| The buoyancy in the Stock Market, no.
| tieed in our last report, continued to-day,
| and on the early dealings, in the forenoon,
carried up the Railway Shares lag per
cent. over yesterdays advance. large
and general business was done at the first
session of the Brokers, both for cash and on
time, indicating more decided speculative
temper on the future of prices than we have
| witnessed for several weeks. The Western
| Roads are coming into increased favor, and

Burlington and the two Michigan lines, be-
gins to show itself The New York Shares,
and Philadelphia and Reading, were also

selling as high as s05S@s0H; Hudson at 49;
Erie at 40, and Harlem Preferred at 391Z,

quieter state of political affairs South and

AT the Second Board, in the afternoon,
there was some inclination shown to reac-

Rock Island losing a portion of the rise at
the First Board. But after the adjournment,
and the close of business on the street, the
prevailing feeling was again quite hrm.
