FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

The New York stock market opened ir-
regular thismorning. The whole list was
weak, except in the case of the coal shares,
which advanced 1 to u per cent. on the
announcement that Il combination of the
anthracite companies had been formed for
the purpose OF restricting production, and
that the price had been advanced 2j cents.
The best prices for those stocks were
touched about 1890. The improvement In
them was not long maintained. Hardly
had the Improvement been recorded than
the bears began selling them freely. They
also unloaded the Vanderbilts in some round
amounts. The result was break of ] to
per cent. by 12 o'clock. From this ex-
treme decline prices have recovered partly,
but the tone at the present writing is fever.

A New York dispatch received this
afternoon srys; "All the anthracite coal
companies, including the Pennsylvania
Railroad, were represented to-day at a
meeting held at the Offices OF j. Pierrepont
Morgan, the banker. The meeting was in
session until o'clock this morning, when
II was finally resolved to advance the price
of coal % cents per ton and to limit the
production for this year to 33,5O0,0OO
tons"
"The air yesterday" says to.day's Wal
Street Nc,cs, "was full of hints of some
thing very important going on in the oil
trade that would result IN the formation Of
a coal combination. AT the same time, one
Of the large companies, which Is an i'm
portant factor in the situation, was selling
coal at the very lowest prices. 1t is in
tmated that Mr.. j. Pierpont Morgan is
moving to bring the coal men together and
force coal combination before he goes
away, and II is said that some of them have
been with him. This is not a very difficult
thing to accomplish, but It is another mat
ter to settle the division of business. There
is not coal president who would dare to
say that he is not willing to join u coal COM
bination but the trouble is like that in the
transcontinental affairs, they all want more
