Stocks "A little more lie was in
fused into stocks this afternoon but
the increased activity was at the eX-
pense of the quotations. The CON
spicuous feature this morning was the
activity and weakness in Western
Union, which opened at IS and rap
idly sold down TO G6l. 1t was then
about steady until after midday, when
II again broke and the decline was not
checked until Gas was reached. From
this there was a slight rally in the
final dealings, and the stock closed at
64s, with net loss of SO after sales of
$1,000 shares The remainder of the
list resisted the influence of the West
ern Union until after midday, al
though the market was generally
heavy, bat on reports that further
serious troubles had taken place on
the Gould roads near st. Louis, and
that there was bare possibility of
further delay in an announcement of
the Reading reorganization plan, the
whole list weakened and continued so
during the afternoon. Lackawanna
yielded per cent. during the fore
noon, remained steady until nearly >
o'clock, when it declined rapidly to
1861, losing in very few
minutes. Later there were ire
quent rallies TO l27, when the
stock would again sell of to 3, and it
finally closed feverish at 1868, loss of
%. Reading sympathized with this
weakness TO the extent OF t. There
