New YORK, March 17.--Money easy
paper 4tG5. Sterling exchange dull
but steady at 4874 for sixty days
and 1891 for demand.
Bonds Government bonds were dull
and steady. State bonds were active
and firm. Railroad bonds continue
dull sales, 81 100000. of which $685.
600 was in Erie second consols. Prices
were generally lower, in sympathy
with stocks.
ocks-The stock market wes de-
Cidedly active and weak. There was
a weak opening, first prices showing
generally a loss of 4 to (, after a
brief show of firmness and very de-
cided break which carried prices down
about per cent. before midday. The
decline was then checked, and a firm
tone with less activity prevailed for
an hour, followed again by renewed
weakness, which continued to the
close. The break in the forenoon was
directly traceable to the coal
stocks, which were conspicuous
for the decline, especially Reading,
which sold from 273 down to 253,
while Lackawanna yielded from 127
to 1851, and Delaware and Hudson
from 1927 to 1914 Late in the after
noon Reading reached 24i and closed
1 higher, with a net loss Of q. Lack
awanna closed with loss of %, Della
ware and Hudson q, Jersey Central
81. The weakness in these stocks was
due in part to the impression created
by the publication of the syndicate
reorganization plan Of the Reading

- IN most things the General was the
s0ul of exactness, bur IN money matters

surprise would come over hi face, and
Einking hiz eye IN that peculiar manner
usual with him when he was puzzled
be would say

change in his pocket 70 lsesgars or organ
