Dealings were in small lots rule and hardly at tracted any attention. The tone was even weak and prices declined slowly from the opening until noon, when the majority of the list were down 1s to g. After midday Manhattan Consolidated sudden ly came into prominence, being actively bought on reports of important changes in the directory One was to the effect that T. W. White, Austin Corbin, Mr. Rutter and several others operating the Van derbit interests about to enter the directory of the road. The prices advanced sharply, selling up from S1 to S5 and afterwards reacting to S2es. The rest of the list active and prices ad- vanced in the late dealings the best of the day for most Of the list. The advance outside of Manhat- tan Consolidated as compared with last evenings closing figures ranged from 1S to 11s- In the spe- cialties the only feature of note was Memphis & Charleston, which advanced 3M per cent. The ad vance was attributed to manipulation.
