SToCKs-There was considerable de-
preston at the Stock Exchange early In
the day in consequence of break in the
two prominent investment shares, Della.
ware, Lackawana and Western aud New
Jersey Central. The belief is generally
expressed that the coal combination Is
about to be dissolved, owing to n decline
of business and unpromising prospect of
summers work. The prominent holders
of Michigan Central are know
TO be largely interested in co:
roads, and it is generally suppos' 4
they were selling those stocks to-daN
Delaware, Lackawana Il Western, which
closed yesterday ut ll3 fell of TO l09 reg
ular and l0S seller 60 days. New Jersey
Central sold as low rs 96s against 100
Yesterday. The former afterwards re-
covered TO | IL and the latter rallied To
9Ss Chicago i Alton sold at 100 for
common and ut l071 for preferred,
decline Of > per cent in
both cases, supposed TO be on account
OF the floods in the west. Michigan
Gen. declined from 524 to 50Ic, Lake
Shore from 55t to 54i, and q. q. g. X l..
from 81 to 50. The Market at the close
was heavy with prices in most instances,
at the lowest point OF the day. The trans
actions at the Stock Exchange were l47,-
