gard the battle Of Cedar Mountain as more of a
success than ;lefest. The impression prevails,
too, that General Pope has force enough TO ac-
complish his designs. Hence the spectators are
si ~ the, bull side at present, and there is quite
rnnh among outsiders 10 buy dividend-paying
stocks. The most active shares Of the day were
Erie and Erie preferred, Galena, Illinois Central,
Michigan Central and New York Central. There
was likewise a good deal Of business in Rock
Island and Toledo; but, for the present. the shares
above mentioned seem to be the favOrites among
spectators. Comparing the prices of this even
ing with those which were current yesterday
afternoon. we note an advance of per cent in
Gaena, ~ in Rock Island, lL in Erie preferred,
lT in Michigan Central, lL In Erie old, in
Reading, u In Illinois Central, "a in New York
Central, "a in Southern old, "a in guaranteed,
"a in Pacific Mail, Harlem preferred and Toledo,
and "a in Hudson and Harlem old. There was
change in Panama. Governments were all better.
The registered skies of 1881 sold at par, and
both kinds were held at par, and the
7.30 notes at 1887 at the close. For
good railway bonds the inquiry continues
lively. The issues of the Northwestern Railway,
which are the cheapest Of the good bonds on the
list, advanced per cert to-day, the seconds sell
Ing at 80. At the close the market was very firm,

The earnings of the Illinois Central Railway for
the month Of July were $249, ,929--by far the
largest earnings for July in the history Of the road
The July earnings for six years have been as fol-
lows:-
July 1857 $3.50 900 July, 1850. $3.50 900
July is5S....... 12A ,29o July, ls5l..... 10000
July, 1862. 1870 July, 1862. 24s,929
The road is now, almost for the first time In its
history, out OF debit every dollar Of floating debt
has been paid of, and no more money will go to
pay for renewals or commissions on loans. The
funded debt is now SIS ,234 900 on 700 miles Of
railway and 100000 acres Of land yet unsold
The farmers who have settled on the lands of the
company are paying mp, partly in money and
partly in grain, with very remarkable regularity
The receipts for July were $34 ,lS2 in money and
so 600 bushels corn. These figures serve to ex
plain the recent advance in the stock Of the Iii
nois Central from sc to co. and indicate that II will
take o leading place among the active fancies Of
the day II speculation becomes general and lively.
We learn that the leading trunk lines Of railway
to the West-namely, the New York Central the
Erie and the Pennsylvania line-have held Q con.
ference, and decided to raise freights after the
18th inst. They have all more business than they
can do, and the advance in rates will not be unex
pected. The Central earnings for July will show
an increase of 1926 900; the Erie is understood to
be doing still better.
