Chaos Come Again.
New YORK, Nov. The Stock Exchange
throughout the day has presented scene
of activity and excitement, strongly IN con-
trast with the dullness and apathy which
prevailed for some time past. The course
of speculation turned on the consolidation
of the New York Central and Hudson, and
there were alternate spasms of buoyancy
and depressions with a semi-panic at inter
walls on the same of Western shares. The
final result of the days operation shaves
the railroad list, more especially IN Wander
bilt stock and Northwestern.
The announcement that the Vanderbilt
stocks were consolidated on a basis of 10Y
for New York Central and IS for Hudson
created no little disappointment to specu-
lators ON the bull side. The terms of con-
sohdation show that Vanderbilt has pursued
more conservative course than was ex-
pected The bears were not slow to i'm
prove the opportunity offered them to de-
moralize the bull speculatiOns, and every
time the market rallied they returned
boldly to the attack, and each time pushed
prices lower and lower.
The weakness in Northwestern and st.
Paul and Lake Shore is due largely to
heavy amounts of borrowed stock which
have been returned within a few days past.
The heavy decline impaired margins Of
weak holders of these stocks; brokers were
in consequence free sellers whenever the
market STRENGTHENED. At times during the
afternoon the excitement and depression
were increased bv several runors of in
functions on Vanderbilt consolidated.
These rumors. however, could not be aU-
thenticated. but nevertheless tended 90 add
to the unsettled feeling.
Perjury for Gold.
Fisk and Gould have brought suit for
perjury against Charles c. Allen, one Of the
parties who sued them for refusing to carry
out gold contracts. Allen waived examina-
ton, and was held in bond Of s., 900 to
await the action Of the grand jury.
