New-York daily tribune., 1858-12-10

An examination Of these figures shows, thf IN spite
OF constant and occasionally strong efforts Oh tue part
Of operators for the decline the Quotations have re-
suited in al improvement on general scale and the
fact that quotations have thus been mantalne1 ana
were advspced, while so many Encouraging items Of
busin. have stated, and while much une9 9st-
1e.s has been in regard to the begerent de-
signs of the administration, is worthy Of attention,
demon srang as does the present Indifference OF
the public to these disturbing elements The trans-
actions in New-York Central al the mornings Board
were ct a decline Of to 1 on the fist call, bat
before the session closed she stock had fully recovered,
and in the afternoon sold up 10 81 an advance OF
for the day. Reading opened at 81 but was also
fraction lower until the second call when il became
fimer with the rest Of the market. Erie advanced
and was in demand, but was not exten,yely dealt in.
The Western shares were steady, and after similar
light depression on the calls became hnally very
firm and in nearly every instance closed better than 10
ear transactions. Galena was quite active and the
demand for both this and Rock Island was well sus.
tain ed through the day. Hudson River advanced to
33i at the Second Board, and was very firm 1t the
cold weather Of to-day holds navigation upon the
river will close about fortnight earlier than last year,
and the business of the month the road must
show a large increase. The movement IN
Pacific Mail continues strong, and the shares
have advanced . y cent during the day.
correspondent Of The Journal of Commerce gives
an exaggerated estimate of the value OF the surplu.
property and assets of this Company better autoen.
tca ed statement estimaes the value of propsty
elusive of steamships and real estate, tue 18th Of
January next, including cash, stocks fuel, &C., at
about 81 0OOO OC0. Tie value of the steamships is of
curse somewhat dependent upon circumstances;
but We question whether unprejudiced men would sp-
prise them at the prices fixed upon by this writer.
The practical point TO be decided in referencs to the
Pacific Mail Co. is in the question Of competition. IL
tie lire preserve its preent monopoly Of the car
ryng busi1ess our Pacific coast, its prospects
undoubtedly brilliant, but if from the complication Of
matters between Mr.. Vanderbilt and the Company
the opening of routes-the opposition of Govern
ment, &c.-the line is to be deprived of it,
pr, self commanding position, the chances of
success in the future become less hatterirg.
At the Second Board blsress was spirited than
al the morning session and the general tendency of the
market was toward improvement. The closing prices
were for New-York Central ST. SIT; Ere, l.; ais
