SroCKs-The market to-day was gen.
orally steady, the principal business be-
ing in Lake Shore and coal stocks. The
latter fell off considerably. The news Of
the reduction of the wages OF the
EMPLOYEES of the Delaware, Lsckawanna
and Western, in spite of the expectations
put forward in their report, and the re-
ported advance in the price Of coal sent
the stock down to 625, from which it
rallied slightly sfterward, only to de-
cline further little later. Delaware
and Hudson opened at 90, advanced /
per cent, and then tell off to 49s. West
ern Union was steady ut 64s9643, and
New York Central, after opening At 964
and selling up to 97t, declined again to
the opening price. The market closed
dull and lower. The transactions were
$4,000 shares, of which 5000 were New
York Central, $1,000 Lake Shore, $500
st. Paul, $4,000 Delaware, Lsckawsnns
and Western, 5000 Michigan Central,
1900 Western Union, and $500 Della
ware and Hudson Canal.
