} STOCKS -Irregular, with great activity
and wide fluctuations in coal shares. BE-
fore midday Delaware and hudson
Canal declined to 56l, Delaware, LacKa-
wanna and Western to GA and New
Jersey Central to 2l3. Illinois Central
fell to 503 and st. Paul preferred sd-
vanced to 48sc. The decline was caused
, by unfavors bic rumors relative TO the
action of the stockholders OF the
New Jersey Central at the meeting then
in session and unfounded reports that
Delaware and Lackawanna was unable
to meet its bills payable. But when II
was ascertained that the meeting OF the
New Jersey Central stockholders was q
large and unanimous one and that the
| interest on the first mortgage would be
promptly met tomorrow, and the $5o,-

it was proposed to issue 10 raise funds to
relieve the financial necessities OF the
company, had been literally subscribed
for by the stockholders present ana
many whom were largely Interested In
the property, there was general scram-
BILE tor coal shares, and in the rush TO
buy New Jersey Central advanced to u,

Delaware, Lackawsnns and Western to
69I. In the closing dealings New Jersey
Central sold at 26, and Delaware and
Hudson Canal at COL, while Delaware,
| Lsckswanna and Western was firm 1T
the highest point. The general market
was ieverish and irregular, sometimes
sympathizing with the coal stock and at
9th, rs acting Independently of them. St.
Paul preferred rose to 4S5, reacted to All
and closed at 48l Illinois Central de-
clined t, to 504 and rallied TO sig. St.
