SToCKs-The stock market was one OF
intense excitement at times. 1t was fever
ish and irregular throughout the entire
day. The special features were Western
Union, New England and Manhattan Ele-
waited, all of which were remarkably ac-
tive and strong, and subject TO
sudden and wide fluctuations. A
depressing effect was caused
in the early hours by the action of Gov
ernor PattiSon, of Pennsylvania, in regard
to the coal combination. After noon
Western Union jumped into first place and
the rumors circulated included the state
ments that the b. < o. had been absorbed,
that an amicable arrangement had been
made and that the cable war had been
settled. All of these assertions were In
turn denied, but the stock was Stroug
nearly all the way out.
The opening was about steady, first
prices generally showing only in
significant changes from the pool prices OF
Saturday. Trading was feverish and
general y weak, and New England, after
advancing l., lost it all and small
fraction, but later advanced and
reached the highest price yet recorded for
that stock, and the general market res
pended, with the exception of the coal
stocks. Western Union then Joined in the
advance, and the trading in that stock was
very large from that time out;
The general market then subsidized
and became quiet, with small and
irregular fluctuations, generally in
favor of lower prices, but the market final
" closed firm on a rally. A majority OF
the active list are higher tonight and
New England is up 50, Manhattan At,
Western Union 4, Kansas Il Texas Can
ada Southern Il, Louisville Il Nashville l,
and other fractions. Delaware Il Hudson
is down II, and a few Others fractions.
