New York Stock Market
Generally the Stock Market was strong
this morning, but the most prominent feature
was the activity and buoyancy in Illinois
Central. About 1000 shares were sold, of
which twO-thinds were for cash, and the
market advanced TO 602<, having been 5815
| yesterday. 1t was currently rumored that
most OF these purchases were for foreign
account and this may be, but the parties

movements don't see it, 1t is quite as

BOaIdA quotations were sustained, but the
sales were very limited. There was strong
feeling at the Second Board, which contin.

in Pacific Mail was a marked feature. Il
advanced TO Y bid, egsinst SO yesterday.
| The safe arrival of the Northern Liqht had
very favorable influence. Illinois Central
continued buoy ant, aud touched 6l1I aa
advance Of 2A per cent. since yesterday.
The Western Shares generally were firm at
slight advance. Central was 72l%, the
price of yesterday. This Stock seems to
have lost portion Of its prominence in the
street.
Cash Stock of several descriptions--Mieh
gan Central, Illinois Central, New Yorh
Central, Hudson River, &c.--is quite scarce
which fact is an important element In tht
strength Of the market, which Is largely
oyersold. The principal reason for the firm
ness Of the market to day is the purchAss o
! the shorts, aided by the absence of any un
favorable adViees from the South. In Stat,
