ABKE?. Faway, Sept 8—6 P. M. The stook market had decifeily aa apward tendency ‘this morning. Se far as extent of traniactions was con- cerned, there has beon no material alterstioa, but prices @heow an improvement of some impo-tanse The whole SOBBY & pels Central bends seld fresly at an advince of 1 por Cent; Erie Bonds, 1871, went u»1 per cent; Hudson | River Convertible, 1; Canton Company, 1; Nicaragua | ‘Transit, }{; Cumberland Coel, i; Erie Railcoad, %; ‘Harlem, (; Roading Railroad, 34; Hudson River Rail 3; Central Railroad, 1.

The leading faacy railroad st ks ‘were by up means active at the improveqent in prices, and we notice ia the list of sales a good many at buyer's option. If we could trace this sudden inflation im mar- ‘ket value to any good substantial cause, it be’ diffeult to anticipate the probable but at present none has appeared. rates hope to find others to really much improved, or that any advance in prices can be otherwise than temporary. Money continues in | increase, if our importations continue so large, and we see no probability of any relief in that quarter. The recent enormous sales of dry goods at auction show the anxiety of importers and commission houses to realize, and the proceeds are at once remitted back in the @hape of specie. Many of the leading fancy atooks, from the operation of the causes just enu- merated, have been depressed to an unusual ox- ‘Rent, and to those having means, and not connected with trade or commerce, offer fine opportunities for investment. There are, of course, exceptions, which mhould be avoided. It may bea long time before a per- masent improvement is realized, but there are stocks on the list which will pay well to keep, while there are thers which should be got rid of in the shortest’ possl- dle time. The ordeal through which all stock securities “Bave passed during the past three months has done some Of them a vast deal of good, and the stockholders will, omme of these days, feel it; but as for any immeciate ‘dvance in market value, of much consequence, we do met look for it. A system of management very different from that pursued in railroad corporations, particularly, maust be adopted before much progress can be made owards making them productive. Important improve- mente have lately been adopted, in some instances, Dut there are so mapy yet to be made that the -plightest reform is hardly yet visible. So much depends mpon management, that a railroad, or any other work, possessing all the elements o/ productiveness, in bad hands would soom become bankrupt, while in good thands it would pay well. We have in our immediate vicinity several instances of good and ba? manage nent ‘in railroad corporations, and the difference is summed up in the simple fact of dividends or no dividends. The stockholders in all companies should, during the present speriod of depression, look closely into the management -of their affairs, and place them upon an economical and proper basis, so as to derive the greatest benefit from 2he smallest favorable change, and leave the result to time. There is very little doubt but that ultimately most -of them will realize the most sanguine anticipations, and prove better investments than generally believed. The steamship Star of the West, at this port from San Juan, brings sixteen days later intelligence from Califor- nla, and upwards of one million of dollars in gold.

The object of this movement is to provide funda for paying the floating debt of the company, ‘ampunting to about $300,000, and the strong argument in favor of conversion on the part of the shareholders is that the net errnings of the road will be sufficient this sear to pay the hond interest, 6 per cent on the preferred tock, and a very fair dividend, say $3 or $4 per share, on ‘the now stock, if the floating debt can be romoved, or re- -duced sufficiently to avoid paying the extra interest now required to carry it.
