SToCKs.- The temper of speculation on
the Stock Exchange to-day was much i'm
proved. The pressure to sell was at no
time pronounced, except perhaps as to
Atchison. London was a considerable buy
err of the arbitrage specialties, more partic-
ularly of Louisville and Nash
vile, and majority of the
shares traded in recorded an
advance on the days transactions.
Boston aud the West were both sellers Of
Atchison. Louisville and Nashville
opened % higher, and began to move up
ward, showing an advance OF 214 shortly
after noon, The buying was largely for
the foreign account, but there was con-
considerable covering by the short inter-
est. During the afternoon reaction took
place, the last sale being az an advance OF
IL on the day. There was an active specu-
laIion in St. Paul and the bears made sew
eral determined drives at the STOCK, but
never depressed the price more than 3 per
cent. below the opening. or the other
Granger shares, Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy recorded an advance of l per
cent. st. Paul and Omaha Ia,
and Rock Island and Northwestern g..
New England was comparatively neglect
ed. The general market opened and closed
fairly firm, and in the interim the tluctua-
tions which were frequently but not very
wide as a rule, tended toward higher fig
ures ana the final dealfkas showed a pretty
general advance Of i to'15Js per cent. Quo
