New-York daily tribune., 1858-12-17

THE peace dispatches published this mornng, prove
the accr-scy Of the street reports yesterday aen
to the effect that sdvices of the tenor had been
received privately, ard that upon this Information was
bsse1 the movements at yesterdays Second Eoard.
Upon the strength Of this intelligence several Of the
Leading operators weIt ir Tor the rise, and by epred
bidding. and the purchase OF fsir amount Of stock,
succeeded in turning the current Of the market for the
moment. Before the day closed, however, there
were symptoms of hesvine.s egain, and after the
Second Board the sales were generally at concession
b buyers FOR most of the prominent shares. At
the First Board, New York Central Grd Reading
the leading stocks, the former reviviDg to
sit ard the latter to 81. ard both display
ing oonside ab.e strength on the calls, although
the transactions not Gbove-he usral average. Il
is rumorej r the street that the receipts of the Central
thus far in December, show q decrease Of about
slc0O00 az compared with t'a corresponding peol Of
last year and this report uaed agsnst the stock in
the late operation Of the isy. Whether this is correct
or not it is not probable that the actual earnings VIII
show any su,h dec ine, large portion Of the freight
receipts of the th last ye account Of
rectirg rosds which is not the st the present
time. Hudson River opened AZ S3!, bat w,s il
demand at 33i ut the close Of the call. The West
eIn shares were some what irregular, in some
ipstsr ces improving a little, but, upon the whole
showing but feeble sympathy with the i'm
provement noticed il Central ard Reading. Gaens
AID Rock Island advanced fraction esch but dragged
little in closing transactions aId il the afternoon
were slightly lower. Michigan Southern, common
shares, were tolersby seady at 20s S20I, aud the
preferred at 49, bu, in neither was the movemfut
spirited, ard at the Seconi Board these socks
down again to | Y cen. each. Michigan Central
of
first week of December snd at the afternoon session
soi down to So. Pacific Mail advance to 81 in tue
morning. but not sustained IL transactions and
was rather heavy st 81 before the day closed. There
something very mysterious in tbe movements on THE
stcck-,he large profits of the concern, and ne ir-
msnse eccumulato OF surplus resources, according to
the statements of It's etds making strong case in
s fsvor-whle, at the time, there is lack of
s.rers at the present market prices and contracts for
the Fall are put out with confidence, which would
seem to have reliable basis. The most popular
theory of the stree: s that the relations be.~een the
Compspy and Commodore Vanderbilt gre not Of bar-
norious character and that the line is ;hieGenei
with the competition Of this formidable veteran in
steamship navigation; bat meantime II is stated that
the monthly subsidy goes on heretofore and the fog
is lust as thick over the subject q. ever. At tie
Second Board the transactions were moderate il
extent, but the msriet was quo'ably lower
for all the prominen, shsree. The business
in state Stocks was generally at an i'm
proveineIt aud was very well distributed Mis-
souris advanced TO s9i, and for Tennessees aud Yr-
ginas the quotat ons were fraction higher. In Rail
