Stocks were rather better this morning though
the amount of business done was small. The most
active stocks the list government and State
securities, which were ell higher. The new coupon
8's advanced a per cent, and the per cent Trea-
sury notes u. Tonnessees rose ~ Virginias, Mis-
sours, Is but the grcatestrse Of all was in North
Carolinas, which advanced to 62-say per cent
mainly on the general theory that General Buffers
expedition will evoke the sunbering national feel
ing of the people of that state, and rescue it from
its present condition. Among the speculative shares
the most lively was Pacific Mail, which rose "a
per cent further rnnors with regard to the sale
of the North Atlantic Company's ships. Gaena
also advanced ~ on stories of new arrangements
for the funding OF bonds. The advance would he
more reliable if it bore relation to the traffic

last year. The other railway shares were
steady At the close of the first board the mar
ket fell off, At the second board the business done
was very light indeed. The market closed dull the
