In Provisions, at Louisville, on Wednes-

York Stock Market.
The Stock Exchange appears to be rapidly
adapting itself 70 the condition of civil war,
and speculation is moving, with some spirit,
on intrinsic values as measured by the or
dinary, rather than extraordinary eircum-
stances of the country. Thus we report a
| ErNfh aAa ~
| Shares, because the road increased its April
trsfic by $l05,000 as compared with last
season, and rise Of 2 per cent. on Galena
and Chicago Shares, from the reported ad-
vance in the weekly amount OF business now
| going over the line.
There is large demand for Illinois Gen.
tral Shares, and revival in speculation in
| Cleveland and Toledo, Chicago and Rock
| Island, and Michigan Southern from similar
causes, and we hear little or nothing said
for some days past about the influence of
| prospective battles south Of the Potomac on
these values. In short, there is quite de-
termination manifested on the street to
resume active speculation in Railway Stocks,
Government Loans and Railway Mortgages,
without much reference to the pending civil
war but whether this feeling is 70 last
! three days, three weeks or as many months,
1t would be impossible, from the past ecceu-
tricities Of the New York market TO de
termine.
The rise since Thursday last has evidently
taken majority Of the Bear spectators at
the Board and in the streetby surprise, while
II has turned considerable differences into
the pockets of the Bull operators in New
York Central Illinois Central, &C., even
SCORER than they anticipated while buying
on War prices early last week. That the
market derives material support ffom the
improved trafhe on the New York and most
Of the Western Roads is quite certain, and il
seems Questionable, whether, for some days
10 come, the War news from the South /.
likely to change this temper of the market.
Another feature in the dealings yesterday
and TO- day is the increased frmness Of thl
Government Stocks, influenced, in part, b
the published instructions Of the Admins
tration TO our Ministers abroad, and tn
steady demand, at present moderate prices
for the Border State Stocks. The blsines
in all departments TO- day was on a liberia
scale, and, at the Second Board, prices wer
generally firm. Late in the afternoon ther,
was some unsteadiness in prices.
