stock Exchange Excitement.

New YoRK, Feb. 1.-THE stock ex
change this morning resolved itself prac-
tically into an exchange for Reading
stock. Over 100000 shares OF this one
stock were traded IN during the first half
hour Of business. 1t is doubtful if the
stock exchange ever witnessed such a
scene as took place at the opening of
business this morning. The post where
dealers in Reading stock usually congre-
gate is III the Broad street wing of the
board room, but this morning mighty
crowd of brokers, packed densely togcth-
er. overiiowed the usual limits of the
stock crowd and swallowed up in their
numbers half a dozen other groups, the
members of which had to go elsewhere

but later details of a big deal by which
the company is to control The Jersey
Central and Lehigh Valley were made
public and at the Windsor hotel last
night sixty was bid for stock. At the
d,op of Chairman Mitchel's gaycl
at 10 o'clock this morning announc-
ing the opening Of business
200 brokers gathered in the Reading
group and became like so many maniacs.
Such shouting, pulling and excited
crowd of men has seldom been seen.
The length Of limb and depth of voice
came in in good steau this morning.
Once in the middle of the crowd it was
impossible to get out and trading went
on at very different prices in the inside
and on the outsides of the crowd. The
stock opened in the board AT 57i9.
simultaneously sales were made at -
and in a few minutes Gi WAS touched. an
advance of points since yesterday and
of % points since this day last week
The scene was pandemonium. Wilder
shouting, struggling and shifting oc-
CURED than in times of panic. The ex-
citement did not flag during the day and
brokers no had endured the ordeal were
exhausted at the close of business. The
enormous interest in coal stocks led
many Specialist brokers who devote
their attention to one or two particular
stocks to refuse to execute transactions
in their speciatics. Messenger boys
were at a premium. The confusion was
indescribable. 1t was day of tumult
and excitemc mt that appalled, the oldest
men in the street. The figures alone
will give some idea of the transactions.
1t must be remembered that on days OF
intense excitement and activity tens of
thousands Of shares are bought and sold
which are never reported SO as to be in
cluded in the official record. In the first
two hours after the opening it is est
mated about 100000 shares were
dealt in. That is record
rarely made for day; it has often been
the record of a week the total report
ed transactions for the day amounted to
1.i42,94O shares or about the capital
stock and one-half over. Fluctuations
were Of the widest kind and the differ
ence of fractions between quotations
were almost ignored.

A Large Gathering of Democrats to PRO-

A Large Gathering of Democrats to Pro-
test Against the Snap Convention.
New YORK, Feb. ll.--There was held
tonight in the large hall OF the Cooper
Union mass meeting of democrats to
protest against the holding OF demo
Ocratic state convention for the election
OF delegates to the national convention
on February %, after only four weeks
notice. 1t is this convention which has
been denominated as "Senator Hills
snap convention" and the meeting to-
night was promoted largely by the adj
herents Of exPresident Cleveland. They
affirm the call for convention in Feb
ruary was devious method designed to
suppress expressions and representations
in behalf of their favorite and the dem
onstration tonight was designed to pub
icly voice their protest
Long before o'clock the hour set for
the opening of the meeting, every seat
and every available inch Of standing
room in this historic hall was occupied,
and many of those who were tardy in
seeking entrance were unable to get in.
Chairs filled the large platform and these
also were occupied early.
Oswald Ottendorfer, editor and pro-
prietor of the New York Staats- Xeitung.
called the meeting to order. Ottendorfer
then presented Frederick. o. Courdert
as president Of the meeting and as the
well known lawyer advanced to the desk
he WAS greeted with rousing cheers. Ad
dressing the great throng and speaking
of the object Of the meeting, Courdcrt
said it was not to denounce or to glorify
any human being, but something more
important. 1T is the assertion Of the
right of which men in authority are seek
ing to deprive Us. 1t is the right to eX-
press our opinion and manifest our will
upon every subject Of ub'ic a ID politi-
cal concern. To curtail speech has been
in our catechism the worst otfcnsc that
could be committed against liberty
EX-Cnited States District Attorney
Walker offered resolutions protesting
against the early convention which were
warmly applauded. When Chairman
Courdert called for yeas and nays the
resolutions were adopted with practical
unanimity. there being only few scat
tering nays less than a dozen in all
being heard when the chairman called

BoSToN, Feb. ll.Today's snowstorn
made sad havoc with the electric wires
throughout the eastern and northern
sections of New England. From 10 to
II inches of snow fell during the day,

were unable to withstand the heavy

nearly all the electric lights were dis

CONGRESSIONAL.
House.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-THE farmers
alliance arraigned the democratic and
republican parties in the house today on
the charge of extravagance in public cx-
denditurcs and insisted that the leading
parties were ignoring the principal legis
latiou of the session in order to provide
lucrative position for the favored
henchmen of the dominant parties.
Representative Simpson, whose sobri-
quet of ''Sockless statesmen" has won
him national repute was the man to pre-
fer these charges against the dominant
parties and his speech was one OF the
most amusing and exciting incidents of
the day. The question of expenditures
came up under a resolution reported to
the committee on accounts to appoint
Walter +. Hallock. ex- union veteran for
the position Of assistant doorkeeper of
the house. After two or three demo-
Gratis and one or two republicans had
favored the resolution in speeches pay
ing Il high tribute to Major Halleck.
Fithian of Illinois took the floor and in
sisted it was time the democratic MAJOR
ity of the house was coming to its senses
and shutting down on new officers.
Simpson then took the floor. The
speech of the gentleman of Kansas had
the effect of overwhelmingly defeating
the resolution. The military academy
appropriation bill was taken up and con
sumcd the remainder of the day

A RAILROAD COMBINtTION
By Which Certain Lines win Control the
Anthracite Coal Market.

NEW NCHK. Feb. 11.-DreNcl. Morgan
* Co. announced officially this afternoon
that leases and contracts were signed
last night and have now been ratified by
the boards of directors of the Reading
New Jersey Central and Lchigh Valley
railway companies, by which was effected
a combination of anthracite coal inter
ests. President Mcleod of the Reading
company gives some addition details in
regard to the deal. The primary ar
rangement is, he says, to secure a more
economical management in the coal
trade by avoiding expensive selling
agencies and heavy commissions. 1t is
acknowledged even by Independent pro-
ducers that the combination, with the
Lackawanna included, will control 70
per cent of the anthracite coal traffic of
Pennsylvania. As one Of the main
features of the deal looks toward the
aboishing of agents, the action Of the
Independent producers and Of the selling
agents is subject Of some comment
1t is acknowledged that If the movement
succeeds, the selling agents will find
their occupation gone.
