The old fraudulent operation OF forged certificates
was revived to-day, but Jailed to be successful. IL
seems that two hundred shares OF Rock Island stock
we're bought for and delivered TO man who had
procured the issue Of new stock to himself ON the
surrender OF the old at the transfer office. He at
tempted to sell the photographs where he had pur.
chased the originals, but the trick was discovered.
The system OF business In Wall street Is so well regu
lated that these operations seldom succeed.
The stock market was excited for the Vanderbilt
shares OHIO and Mississippi and Reading, but was
otherwise dull and heavy. At the opening Harlem
was the feature, selling high as liz, lille New York
Central touched 21sX and Hudson River ls4k. This
was the climax Of prices, the market beginning to
20 down rapidly UNTIL during the session OF the last
board Central fell to 212A, Hudson River to
loox and Harlem to 1872 The decline was less
marked in the miscellaneous railways, excepting
In Michigan Southern, which yielded to 105A, and
ROCK Island which touched 1l3%. The 'bull'' feel
ing ran strongly upon Reading, which rose to par
and inaugurated "movement' In the long quiet
Ohio and Mississippi, which was carried to 333s
