shown decided improvement over any day
this week, not only in prices, but in the gen.
eral tone OF the market. "Whatever nav be
experienced tomorrow or next week, it is
quite certain" says the Post, shat great
many persons, including several we'll
refrained from expressing any opinion at all,
now express more confidence in the upward
movement of prices. There is reason to be.
lieve some expedients are being resorted
TO by some parties to produce the desired
effect, and that In many respects the situa-
ton, as lar as ease In money both here and
in Europe, and also the condition of railroad
| earnings, are concerned, is favorable" In
the last hour of business the market fell of
oil per cent from the highest prices of the
day, but the closing prices were generally
higher than at the close Yesterday The
volume of business, too, has been from 20 to
25 per cent. larger than yesterday. The

tan Elevated railroad bonds this morning,
! there 10 authority for the statement there
was movement yesterday in the directory
| OF the Manhattan Company to restore the
Metropolitan limo tothe stockholders Of that
company, and demand a settlement of &C
counts. 1t is claimed by the Manhattan
directors that the Metropolitan earnings have
been over-estimated, and that it would
be of benefit to the Manhattan
to restore the property to its own stockhold-
| ers. 1t was rumored yesterday that the
l. Ike Shore directors were considering q
proposition to issue S6,0O0,OO0 bonds to pay
for the "Nickel-Plate" road. This was al
frat denied, but repeated again to-day. The
Reading story OF placing s5,0O0,000 in 7 per
cent. bonds at par gains some credence
among Mr.. Governs friends. A good deal of
interest is felt in the developments of the
annual meeting on Monday. Closing quo
