TUESDAY. Feb. 2J-P. ,


The aggregate Of dealings again very large
to-day, and with a few exceptions, the active bonds
and stocks show an improvement. An important
feature Of the market was the numerous tran@ctons
in State and Railroad bonds which class Of securities
appear recently to have attracted the attention Of
spectators. The large majority Of operators at the
board are now interested Tor the rise, and, indeed
the resistance TO the advance is Of such weak and
hesiatsg character ss 70 have little or no influence
upon the movement. AL the elements Of the market
appear to favor the parties who look for further
considerable advance in prices; and the increase
Of orders among the commission houses indicates
that the public are beginning TO take that interest IN
the speculative action Of tie street, which Is The
surest guaranty for the success Of the Tall interest,"
One Of the strongest features Of the day ia tie fact
that very prominent operator, who has recently
been lukewarm in bis action, came in to-day and
took ten thousand shares at private purchase IN one
line of tLe various active fances and throws his I'M
poriapt influence into the advancing tide. The pas-
cage Of the Currency bill which Was announced late
in the day will have an Irresistible effect, although,
perhaps not Immediately. An addition Of one hun
dred millions OF paper to our currency must 'end 10

Union victories have induced large investments ID

The Improvement. The Rebellion ID evidently In It's
last stages and indeed we have well based
rumors that the Confederate Government has already
made propositions for an arrangement, and that tefe
propositions have been under consideration by our
Cabinet. With an easy money market and these
favorable features, tie bulls feel that they can act
with full confidence that, whatever NAY DO tie due
