SroCKs-Speculation was firm at the
opening. but soon afterwards the coal
stocks suffered another decline, when
carried down the general list Inc
greatest decline was in the shares OF
coal roads, Delaware, Lackawanns and
Western declining from SIT to "a for
regular, and 93f for seller sixty days, and
New Jersey Central from 64f
to 6l}. The shrinkage in other stocks
ranged from to 1! per cent.
St. Paul preferred declined from 6ss to
6Sl. common from 37t to S65, new from
4Oi to S91, preferred from 64a to 6S3;
Lake Shore from $50 to $50; Pacific Mall

AL to 45l; Western Union from 70s 70
69j; Hannibal and st. Joe from ii to l09,

the latter in Delaware, Lsckawanns and
Western. The Milwaukee and st. Paul
directors declared dividend OF 81 per
cent. on preferred stock, payable October
5th, and deferred until September 18th
the question of div;dead s1
common stock. The statement for ion
months ending with June last submit ed
to the board, showed balance of earn
ings, after paying the operating expenses,
interest on bonds and dividend on pre-
ferred stock, of $1,l29,lS4. The closing
half hour of the market was marked by
greet weakness, and very unsettled
feeling. Prices were generally about the
lowest of the day, and in final dealings
Lake Shore and Western Union were
forced to succumb, Lake Shore selling
down to 523, and Western Union to 99b.
Coal stocks were very much depressed,
and Michigan Central broke down to
42s; closing at 43. The Commercial says:
st. Pauls are depressed by the question
able policy of declaring a dividend and
making its payments so far ahead. The
