FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. AHNON FRIDAY, Feb. There was renewed buoyancy in the stock market this morning, with increased activity among operators. The tendency was upward throughout. At the first board Michigan State 6's advanced 1 per cent, Missouri 6's 1. California 7's 1. Illinois Central P"H pus Delaware it Company Created 18 'spuoq son, #: New York Central Railroad, 1; Erie, 1; Hudson River Railroad, 11; Harlem, 4; La Crosse and Milwankie, 1; Reading, 1; Michigan Central, 21; Michigan Southern preferred, 1; Panama, 1; Galena and Chicago, 1; Chicago and Rock Island, 1. La Crosse land grant bonds fell off 1 per cent; Cleveland and Toledo, 4. Cusiberland opened and closed without material alteration in prices, with moderate sales. Hudson River Railroad was active this morning, and advanced to 281 per cent, cash. There is no speculative movement that we can -de #1 and se stoold sith u! pears to be quietly but steadily advancing Chicago and Rock Island opened at an improvement and closed firm at our quotations. Galena and Chicago has for some days advanced rapidly, and seve ral large holders have realized. The market does not seem to be unfavorably affected by the supply. These prices must bring out a great deal of stock from parties desirons of going into lower priced securities, which as yet have not moved much. In this way one after another stock is taken up and carried forward in turn. At the second board the market for some stocks was lower, but an active business not realized. Canton Company advanced 1 per cent; Michigan Central Railroad, 1; Cleveland and Pittsburg, 21. New York Central Railroad declined I per cent; Harlem preferred, 1; Reading, 1; Chicago and Rock Island, 4; Michigan Southern, old, 1 Panama. #; Galena and Chicago, 1; La Crosse and Milwaukie, 1. Most of the transactions at the board this afternoon were for cash, which looks very much as though money holders were securing their profits. If this movement should be carried to any extent the market have to wait for new buyers before another upward eourse of prices would be realized. great abundance of money is the basis of confidence among speculators, and until there are evidences of a demand for the legitimate purposes of trade the upward movement in stocks is not likely to be anything more than temporarily checked. After a rapid rise reactions are natural, and will frequently occur; but they will only give better opportunities for the most sanguine operators to come in upon more favorable terms, and help to give greater impetus to the market. Money is now almost a drug, and the banks anticipate greater difficulty in loaning their surplus upon favorable terms.
