FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

TUESDAY, July rs y. M.
The announcement this afternoon Of the fall OF
yicksburg, and the cheering adviees from the
Army Of the Potomac, impaired a buoyant tone to
public feeling to-day and caused more cheerful
ness in mercantile circles than has prevailed for
rome time.
Gold opened at 1887. and was duh at about that
igure all the morning In the afternoon it fell, on
the announcement of the fall Of Vicksburg, TO
1887, sold at Sie second board at 1873, 1887 and
H. and closed, at five P. M, at about 1873. There
was some business done in the forenoon in bills ON
the basis of l5lZ for bankers signatures. In
the afternoon no one was willing TO buy at any
rate.
Money was worth 6 a z per cent on call. In
some quarters more active inquiry il reported in
consequence of the increase Of business on the
Stock Exchange; but in others we heard of more
money being offered than could be used. Debt
certificates we're steady at yesterdays advance.
If the good news be confirmed, great deal Of
money, now boarded from distrust will come into
the market for employment.
A fair amount Of business in stocks was done
to-day, and at the morning board the uniform
tendency was to higher prices Pacific Mail rose
per cent, Erie "a Erie preferred, "a, Harlem
2, Reading ~, Illinois Central g. Southern old
~, Cleveland and Pittsburg /, Rock Island "a,
Galcna n, Fort Wayne ~. Hudson River was
rs mercurial as ever. The cash stock sold at ls0
against ITO last evening; but at the very same
moment the stock was opened ut $50, seller fifteen
days. This is the most remarkable corner ever
known in the street, and will be remembered with
pain by the bears for long time to come. Co
yernments were all firm, with good demand Tor
the coupon skies. State stocks were steady. Ohio
and Mississippi certificates rose per cent. After
the board the market was firm; Harlem rose per
cent and Illinois Central ~ On the news Of the
fall Of Vicksburg, however, sudden disposition to
sell was developed, and Erie, Southern old, &c.,
were marked down .lH per cent in very few
minutes. Many operators have notion that the
fall of Vicksburg ought to canse stocks to
decline, though they cannot very readily give
reason for their belief. In the afternoon this
lion led to free offerings Of the leading speculative
shares; but the commission houses appeared to
have orders enough to absorb all the stock offered.
Eric, as compared with the morning prices, was
TX per cent lower, Southern old per cent lower,
Pittsburg az, Harlem 2, &c. The amount Of busi-
ness done was large, however, and the indications
were that the market will pretty rapidly recover.
Hudson was let down to l69. Illinois Central was
In very active demand, at an advance of "a per
cent. After the board the market was tame and
dull, without change of prices. The following
were the closnr OuOtatiOns Of the day:--

Q the closing quotations Of the day:

The intelligence OF the fall OF Vcksbnrg led this
afternoon to fresh inquiry for Illinois Central,
which, under the circumstances in which the stock
u placed, may lead to pretty lively time. Some
months ago, when Illinois Central rose here to
ll4 ll6, all the loose stock in the London mar
ket came here for sale, and many London opera
tors began to sell it short. 1t seems from the
latest advices that the bulls have succeeded in
cOrnering the London market; considerable sums
are paid by the bears on settling days for the
privilege Of postponing deliveries, and the stock
cannot be borrowed at any price. Meanwhile
here, it is rumored that the stock has found its
way into the hands Of pretty strong party of be
lievers in its intrinsic worth, and before all the
shorts are delivered we may see another squeeze
similar to those just witnessed in Harlem and Hud
8On River. The business Of the company continues
encouraging to holders and the land sales since the
1st Of January are over a million dollars. The in
terest on -fourths OF the construction bonds
will this year be paid from the land fund, leaving
the bulk of the ,ery large earnings from traffic for
the stock.
The aggregate amount of x orts, exclusive Of
specie, from the port Of New York foreign ports
for the week ending July 4 was SO Ala 9e9.
