New YORK, Dec. 22.-The market opened
with decentralization in the eoalers. Reading

Delaware & Lackawanna was for sale bv the

of the list as the day wore on, and during
the earlier part of the session the market
was ragged indeed. Heath sold considerable

the stock, though it acted very stubborn and
rallied after the depression. Northern Pacific
preferred chan,ed but little. though reports
from the frozen north are not favorable to it,
business being at a standstill. Chicago.
Burlington & Quincy was of a point, with
but little doing in it. The general tone of
the market was decidedly heavy and hearish.
All the large operators were said to
be in favor of lower prices now,
so that everything might be put
in readiness for good bull movement after
the opening of the year. The peg which had
been put in St. Paul at 1917 was pulled out
and put lower to-day. Although the coal
stocks were so sick, IL was given out that
Lackawann ma had already earned during the
first ten months of the present year SPA per
cent. against ILL per cent. for the cores
ponding time of the year previous, but the
precise trouble with the coalers is the fact
that large contracts for 1885 are being made
by the Lehigh Valley company and others at
about SO per ton, which is a big reduction from
the price received during 1884, and this means
greatly reduced earnings and no dividend.
The Pacific Mail company has closed a
contract for rs, 900 tons at the price above
named, and so has the Elevated Railroad
of New York. OF course this sub
stantially fixes the reigning price for large
lot Of contracts during the coming year, and
hence the old earnings can't be maintained
nor old dividends. Reading people say the

The vote in detail is as follows:

Senator Hale, from the committee on ap-
porpriaiions, reported, with amendments, the
house bill making temporary provision for
the naval service, the thirty one day bill.
Senator Hale explained the senate com mIttee
had amended that oill by substituting for the
provisions, the regular annual appropriation
bill for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1885,
precisely as the house passed 1t last session,
but modified so as to cover only the remain
ing half of the fiscal year. The amendments
formerly inserted by the senate relating to
monitors and steel cruisers being stricken
out. The bill, be said, as far as amounts
went, stood precisely on the basis which the
house passed the original appropriation for
the year. In that, Senator Hale added, the
senate maintained its attitude considering
this years appropriations, and not those of
former year. He said he would call the bill
up tomorrow.
The senate wentinto executive session and
soon adjourned.
