general gen-eral tone of the markets today was good although the activity still centers in other oth-er affairs There was strong spurts in Americans especially Louisville and Reading The movement was commenced this morning by some leading operators In the Kaffir market making changes of small lines of Louisville and other shares believing Americans have seen their worst Jobbers here are short of stock hence the rise The closing was at about the best The rise in silver and silver stocks was a feature It is believed that a state council in Germany at a meeting presided presid-ed over by the
