FRIDAY Jan. 18-P.h.
There was very active and rampant Stock market
this morning Notwithstanding the unfavorabe char
acter of the political element the tendency Of the spec
uatve movement is every day stronger for the nee,
and every day receives recruits from the ousde
The prominent bears Of last month have changed their
policy. and become bulls. We believe there are but
one or two proinent bear operators left and the short
line must have been recently very largely closed up, in
most cases at bear loss especially Illinois Central
which has risen IS cent from the lowest point. Tho
business was very fairly distributed throughou, the
entire list and with the exception Of few descrip-
tons an advance established Illinois Central did
not sustain the large advance Of yesterday the price
having brought stock, and it also was vlgor-
ourly hammered by prominent operator, who sold 1t
at 81 seller thirty while the cash stock was worth 3d.
The largest advance of the day was in Chicago
Burlington and Quincy, which sold at 74l against7Ol
Yesterday The Wettern shares all buoyant and in
demand Pacific Mail, under purchases of about 500
shares advanced 10 e2j Central wac very active ad
yapcng TO soI against 20 yesterday. Hudson River
was also better with considerable sales at ~, an i'm
provemept of y cent. Between the Boards the
market was dull but without ehaI ge to notice. AT the
Second Board there less excitement than in the
morning and naturally the desire oreaze the large
advance induced some Tegularity with general but
not important decline. Illinois Central was better at
the opening and rallied TO ST. but afterward lower
Reading was firm AT the morning prices. Central loet

Bond market the transactions lot very large but
