TUESDAY, Oct. S-P. y


The current Of speculation in stocks continues
strong, and the result of the dealings OF the day s
further advance in most descriptions. The amount
of transactions was large and well distributed, ana
the whole body of operators appeared to be interested
for the rise. The bears have, apparently, covered
nearly all their shorts and some Of them have taken
an interest in the other direction. The firm position
now occupied by the Government the great coni-
dence manifested by capitalists through their large
daily subscriptions to the National loan, and the
marked Improvement in the general business Of the
country, has changed recently the whole character
Of the stock movement and brought to the aid Of the
bulls not only that portion Of the public which stands
always ready to take an interest in well-deveioped
stock speculation, but also large majority of those
street operators who are usual interested for the
fall The result to-day after some irregularity at the
First Board, was very rampant market, exhibiting
a more excited phase Of speculation than has been
noticed for some time patt. There was no regular
second session Of the Board but the transactions IN
the street were important and established general
