SECOND BOARD.
TUESDAY, Feb. 26-P. NJ

TUESDAY, Feb 2o-P. N.
| The speculative movement in Stocks which took
shape yesterday continues to increase in volume and
vgor. The rise of yesterday brought in new buyers
to-day from parties who have been waiting for the tide
to u and the sales Of the day have been very large
At the opening of the first session the market was well
sustained at general advance yesterday prices but
toward the close the movement was tame, and quota
tons in some cases were triAe lower Central opened
49, against 7si yesterday with larger than usual
sales of cash stock. The business Of February, we
hear unofciay, is quite favorable In Erie the trans
actions were to moderate extent but the market
very firm. The advertisement of the Receiver, of his
readiness to pay off the unextended Second Mortgage
Bonds had favorable influence. Hudson River was
also very firm, and cold up to 46. In the Western
shares there was an active business The most inpor-
tant advance was in Illinois Central, which went to
82i, against 81 yesterday. Between the Boards there
were No importance. bu! the ina'Aot
recovered frmness. At the Second Board there was
large activity, and great buoyancy In the prominent
fancies under the eleraphc advices Of the action IN
the Peace Convention at Washington. The street
operators jumped TO the conclusion thai the disturbing
questions before that Convention had been all mar
monousy settled and rushedin to buy eagerly drawing
in the shorts with them. Two or three OF the ieahg
bears of the last few days were prominent buyers
toward the close of the day. The commlsoon-houses
also had larger orders, and altogether the market
looked IKE rising one for some days, unless we get
setback from the South. Central went to '9s, q
further improvement of per cent, but closed at UT
Erie was very frm 33 being bid at the close Pacific
Mail was &C. There rumors in the street that the
dividend of 10 per cent on the lst Of May is not certain
Reading advanced suddenly to Al from Ash in the
morning. The purchases are said to be predicated
upon the passage Of tie tariff bill. The market
for Western shares very firm, and In
most cases an advance Of the morning prices
was established. The business In State
Stocks was not large but the market was strong There
was better demand for Railroad bonds, and We have
no doubt that the promise Of the trahe for the present
wear on the Western roads will induce an active bpecu-
laon in the bonds Of those companies if our political
troubles are arranged. In Government Stocks there
was not much DONE but the rates are well sustained
