TTE.DAY. March - NJ.

II evidence before was wanted Of the personal
character or perhaps, To he more accurate Oh tue
single cliqueD character. Of the present stock
sncculation that evidence was furnished by the
transactions Of to-day. On Saturday last HE
TRIBUNE referred to the movements in the coal
stocks. Lake Shore and Pacific Mail a5 springlng
from one common source. The movement
then in coal stocks was principally con-
fined 10 the two Dcaweres aud Central OF
New jersey. Tho fact that Reading did not move
inward was then. aud suce has been, a drag upon
the confidence in the future Of the great coal COM
names. This defect vas discovered and remcded
t,-dov, and hence Reading stock to-day became
nrom,nent feature Of tho speculation The recorded
transactions in the stock amounted TO $4,000
shares. at prices ranging from 90. against GS9i,
Yesterdays closing figures, to GSl2d7l05G7l's.
With this movement in progress 1t was
easier to start again the other coal stocks
ON an inward turn; and Delaware Lack
avanna and Western rose from 81 4 to 02'sa0
Delaware aud Hudson from S04to S3lIGs2h, and
Ncw-Jersey Central from $3.50 to ssSsa o7's. With
ont discussing the merits of these oprtes, 1t may
be remarked that their peculiar friends do not hesi-
tate 70 predict much higher figures for tho stocks
Pacific Mail was opened up 1ls per cent at 52l2 aud
after numerous fluctuations sold nj 5iosG o4 g.
These figures probably would be high for the stock

railroads had been signed But as il 10 not signed
predictions of the immediate future Of prices are
pcrlaps hazardous Lake Shore was comparatively
neglected to-day. and only fuctuatcd between
1853, ana 1904, a 1O9as against 1895 yesterday.
As to the general market. it WAS favorabiv ndu-
enced by an idea that the Secretary of the Treasury
will accept all bonds offered tomorrow up to
- 600 600; at least. such was tue common talk
nj the Exchange. 1t may bo that he will
bnt the fact remains that III February
the Treasury disbursements exceeded its receipts
aLnut 50 900 600 and of course such an excess OF
expenditures oyer receipts must he short-iiyed
