MONEY AND STOCKS.
The Express, in a money article, says
the event in Wall street was the further
rapid progress in the great campaign
on stock exchange. The rise in prices
was very marked and quite general,
though the New York roads took the
lead on the upward turn. The consoli-
dation Of the Central and Hudson is on
the basis of capital of 500. .O00, 600.
That Of the former is now S62, ,0OO,0 600,
saws the stockholders are to receive a
further dividend of $S,000,000 on the
Central and $4,000. 900 on the Hudson.
It is said Vanderbilt believes consoltda-
ton can earn 10 per cent. The Harlem
it is said, will be consolidated with the
Lebanon Springs and Bennington 81
Rutland roads. Harlem capital is about
Sl2 OOO, 900; Lebanon Springs $4,000, 900,
and Bennington & Rutland 81, 800 600.
The joint capital, it is reported, will be
S25, ,OOO, 900, which leaves room for large
dividend. The consolidated capital OF
the Lake Shore combination, including
the Michigan Southern company, stands
at SS3 900, 900. and this probably will be
Increased to $50 900, 900 and stockhold-
ers receive something in the shape of a
dividend.

with over ample supply.

wears, The rest of the list was strong
but without notable feature. In the
afternoon stocks were lower through
out on sales to realize profits. Reading
fell to 96. upon report that the strike
at the Scranton mines was likely TO
extend to the whole anthracite re-
oion, At a later hour the market
was again firm and prices about to
the highest figures of the day, with the
exception of some western roads on
which a previous decline had been
marked, viz; Rock Island, North Wes-
tern and Ohio and Mississippi. The
market finally closed strong and the
demand continuing active to the END OF
the day, particularly for New YORK
Central, which left off at 1773z to 17755.
