MoNDAY, Dec. 9-P. 81.


The tenor Of the advices by the Africa bad Il very
happy effect upon the stock market to-day, and, with
largely increased activity, there was general
advance in quotations. The shorts were much dis
appo nted in tho character OF the news and came in
freely as buyers, while the operators for tie rise
were much encouraged TO believe that the little
speck of misunderstanding with Great Britain would
rass away. They were also free buyers, and under
this new impulse the prominent F0ncies advanced
10 II y cent. The bears made some attempt to
check the advance by Offering their options but
without success, as 1t was known they were buying
cash stock In Pacific Mail the advance was equal
TO 81 y cent on tie lowest point Of Saturday
sales being made MS high as 500. This stock
bad been much depressed under fears Of the
disturbance Of amicable relations with England
in consequence Of the exposed nature Of its prop
erty aud business. 1t naturally recovered most
rapidly when those fears were removed. Central
was very buoyant, and advanced to 79t against rs!
on Saturday. Eric was also very active, advancing
10 80, but aferward receding TO 49, The Preferred
Shares advanced 10 sc, an improvement Of per
cent In the Wedem Shares Toledo and Rock
leland were the mort active, but there was a fair
business in other descriptions. Toledo improved 10
81 and Rock Island to 5il. For Galena u was
paid, and Quincy sold at GO. Toward the close Of
the session the market was not quite 80 strong, but
after the adjournment recovered its frmness. There
was some doubt in some quarters of the truth Of the
statements in The Ediabargh Scotsman, and some
parties preferred TO defer operating until definite
news was received A gentleman, however, who
came by the Africa, measurably confirms the state
of la lah inf iax
with our Minister, Mr.. Adams before leaving London,
who Informed him that he had had correspondence
with Lord John Russell upon the subject of the sai-
ing of the Adger for the purpose of aTeoting Mason
and Slidell and stated that the law officers Of the
Crown admitted the right Of the Adger to make euch
an arrest. Mr. Adams looked upon the Nashville
matter as much the mora serious Of the two. The
person making these statements is the London resi-
dent partner Of banking house in this city, and lie
entirely trustworthy. AT the Second Board the mar
ket continued very active, but, under realizing Sales
was the turn lower generally. In some descrip.
tons prices were marked a y cent lower. Erie,
however, was higher. After the session the market
became again buoyant and with considerable trans
actions, points were touched above the highest quo
tGtions of the morning. Eric WAS in demand at 33l
and tue Preferred shares at S.. Central was 79 bid

out large transactions prices have sympaihized with
the advance in shares. Tennessee and Missouri adj
vanced about Y cent, but the advance was not full
" sustained. Government securities were inactive,
but very firm. The closing quotations were a.
