New-York daily tribune., 1858-10-15


This has been another very active day in the Stock
market, and very large business was transacted at
the Frst Board. Prices generally higher than at
the close yesterday, and were very well maintained
throughout the session. The bears made quite a
demonstration on New-York Central, and put out
sellers options with great deal of freedom; but the
demand for cash stock sustained the price, and at the
close Of the call it was steady. Erie neglected
and the number of operators in this stock to be
rapidly diminishing. Reading was steady at an ad-
vance from yesterdays prices, but sellers options were
freely offered Michigan Central again quite
active with several orders to sell on sellers options
and quite an active demand for cash stock The faith
which many operators appear TO have in 5 or v
cent dividend on this stock in January next is the
ground upon which some of the purchases are
made. The common and preferred stocks Of
the Michigan Southern particularly active, and in
the latter very handsome rise was established.
There very active demand for this stock, and
many of the short sales made Of late probably
covered to-day. Gaena was not particularly active
and did not sympatize with the rest of the market
