Mondays Tribune Informs us in regard to
Saturday New York Stock Market:
The Stock Market was fairly active to-day,
and although somewhat irregular, maintains
generally the improvement recently estab-
lshed. The demand for home investment
has improved during the week, and the buy
ing has been more earnest and confident
throughout Political matters, although
quite as much under discussion, no longer
exercise s controlling influence over the
market ard O superabundant supply Of
Money begins to have its legitimate effect
Tie most active Stocks of the day were Erie,
CsleDa, ana Toledo, but the dealings in most
Of the leading descriptions were to fair eX-
tent. The transactions on time were quite
limited, and there is evidently a disinclna-
ton to enter into new engagements in this
way.
The entire sales during the day on buyers
option, longer than three days were but 600
Shares; a1d on sixty days 800 Shares only
were put under contract. The Bears, al
though somewhat cautious of late, made
some efforts to turn the tide, but the adyan-
tsges of the market seem to be with the
other side of the house. State Stocks were
rather lower, with but moderate transactions
For railway Bonds, however, there was
very good demand, and we note an advance
in some Of the issues which suffered tn,
most in the panic. Atth Second Board the
changes were not important but with on,
or two exceptions prices were slightly lowel
than in the morning.
The same issue Of the Tribune observes il
regard to Saturdays Monetary affairs:
The week closes with very easy Money OF
call at 5G7 per cent, and a better feeling il
Paper which is scarce in the open market
Of first class, and goes freely at S@l2 pc
cent with occasional transactions at I pc
cent, and some as high as 10 per cent. Cap
italists appear 10 be recovering confidence II
mercantile credits, and the demand 70
piVL-l-ekg AALnes IS greater Than Inr supply
