The Stock market this morning heavy before the
Board some transactions having been made ri to
q cent Decline but the Board the session proceed
ed and the scarcity Of cash stock became apparent
a better feeling sprang up, with strong DISPOSE
ton 10 buy. The Shorts who find il every day
moro and more difficult to borrow stocks, forcedto
buy considerable amounts for delivery, aud in some
cases put them out again OF large differences. This
scarcity Of stock ID observable in Erie and Illinois
Central than in other descriptions and in the Of the
after stock contracts were carried forward ut cost Of
cent for ten days. The foreign drain Of this stock,
10 well a. Of Erie has reduced the amount Of shares In
he street available for the uses Of the shorts 10 such
low amount that sharp corner has been formed in
both descriptions not Intentionally by clique, but by
he overseLng of the bears who have overlooked this
oreign Absorption. One feature which sggravstes
this condition Of things is that there longer large
amour, Of buyers options falling due daily, which
must BE- soldou thus supplying the abort demand These
have nearly all matured and been closed up. Between
the Boards the asrke. quiet but very firm. Illinois
Central further advanced to S3l, and Now-York Gen.
trail 10 7Sl. At the Second Board there marked
activity, and the market very strong, with
further considerable advance In OF the promi'
nent fanciss Just after the regular session closed,
sudden and large demand sprang up, for which no one
appeared ablo to give sufficient and oonsidera-
se transactions took place at advance Of TO IL
cent The most excited stock Illinois Central, which
sod as high az 81 advance of cent on the open
ing price Of this morning. Even at this advance the
stock only camc out 10 small extent. Central ad-
yanoed to a. Reading to i2, Rock Island to st. Ga
lena 10 90 Toledo TO 81 Sc. The late dispatches from
Washington Of tie action in the Senate had undoubed
y rome effect in producing the buoyancy aud activity,
but the general impression that operators who are
in intimate relations with prominent parties at Wash
Dgton have private dispatches Of even cheering
character than any that made public. Upon no
other theory can the almost reckless buying Of to-day
be explained State stocks wero dull aud heavy Rail-
road bonds are in good demand, at advancing prices.
