FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
Wall street transactions Yesterday-DG
me&tic and Foreign Markets.


neStic and Foreign Markets.
The following observations on the transactions in
the financial market yesterday, together with highest
lowest and closing stock quotations. furnished by
the banking house of II. d. Cooke, jr., & Co.. 1929
street, Was hington, d. c.:
The contrariness of Wall street was exemplified
yesterday by the of the telegraph speculation
1t was generally expected that decision favorable
TO telegraph consolidation that is "a refusal enjonng
frOmlconsolidatOn. would send telegraph stocks up
several points, and the whole market in sympathy
would advance. The news of Judge Barretts decision
reached the street about eleven o'clock, and
almost Immediately the telegraphs went off
several points. OF course the whole list followed
suit and decline of i 10 2e per cent ensued. Dur
ing the period of weakness that ensued great many
stocks changed hands, but the buying good, and
the line ofshort sales increased Toward the close of
business the lstraled somewhat, and closed with
advancing tendency. But it is by no means certain
that it Will continue TO advance. A fluctuating
market gaddens the heart of the Wall street habitue
and puts money in his pocket But money is easy,
and spite the bad weather. the railroads are doing
wei, and the general tendency for time Will be
upwards.
Later advices show tendency for a strong boom
movement in Delaware and Lackawanna.
