The features Of the Stock market remain about
the same as before noticed. Both parties are indir'
posed 10 act with vigor but there il undercurrent
Of strength in the market which indc,tes that there
s needed but small impulse to give 1t activity and
buoysncy. There lie no pressure of Stock to cell,
and with COED demand for buyers option they were
not offered with any freedom, and At the Second
Board il was specially difficult to fill such orders.
The expansion which is coming from the issue Of q
hundred millions Of Treasury Notes, added TO our
present bank circulation, must have an important liz
fuence upon Stock values, and the impend
ing of THE expansion checks materially the operations
of the bears, while gives the parties interested for
the rise courage TO enlarge their lines and the pa
tence necessary TO quietly wait for the good time
coming. The changes from yesterday were not I'M
portant excepting in few cases. Between the
Boards the market was firm but moi active, some
eco shares Of Central sold Ct S3i. The February

stock is subsdng. The public do not zee the above
value in the shares of road some Of the bonds OF
which. with over 80 cent Of accrued interest, are

report state the floating debt at over fourteen hun
bred thousand dollars, and that all the surplus earn
ings Of the Company for some years will be required
to pey of tie claims already due. In Railroad
Bonds the market is not very active but they are
strongly held. The supply Of low-priced bonds
10 not large, spectators have been picking

for determination in buying railroad bonds

nterest-paying securities as others which are cur
