Excitement i'm stocks.

NEW YORK, January I9.-The St0ck-ex-
change markets opened with great excite
ment, so far as speculative shares are con-
cerned, on account Of the announcement
respecting the Louisville and Nashville and
Nashville and Chattanooga railroad cOmpa-
MES. Not unnaturally the whole market
soon became feyerish, experience teaching
that " boom" of the kind that has recently
been seen in the stocks OF these two COM
panies unsetties the general list. II APP
pears that on Saturday evening the Louis
vile and Nashville company, between which
and the Nashville and Chattanooga COM
pany there has been bitter rivalry, pri-
yateIy bought from some OF the large indi-
vidual holders OF the Nashville and Chatta'
nooga stock enough OF it TO give the Louis
vile and Nashville majority Of its present
stock. Report says that the price paid was
20 per cent, although there is no authorized
statement or the price. On Saturday last
the Louisville and Nashville stock closed
at 1863; after selling on that day at 0S
and the day before at 81. The OPEN
ing price this morning WIS us; there
was then an advance to 12l, which
has since been followed with change in
prices up and down by decline 10 113.
Nashville and Chattanooga stock closed Sat
urday at 93a, after selling on that day at
924 to 9js the opening price this morning
was 50; there was then a break TO SO, re-
covery to 80, and later decline to 50. The
general stock market as noted has been
feversh. but with few exceptions the fluc-
tualions baye been limited.
