CLOSING PRICES OF PHILADELPHIA STOCKS.
WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

Friday August 26-p. m.
The New-Jcrsey decision against the combina-
ton of the anthracite coal companies WIS rcss'e"
in the stock market. Reading was, OF course, the
central attraction and the transactions III tha'
stock wore more than Il quarter of the total busl-
ness but its last price was slightly above l's open
ing figure There was q prompt statement by the
president of the company that the Central Kali
road of New-Jersy would be operated by It's own
on;cers in compliance with the decision, but that
this would not alter in any way the harmonious
relations of the coal companies Further cXpla-
nations would seem to be necessary, because II Is
hardly credible that the Reading president deiib-
eratcly announced his intention TO violate the
law lie will certainly observe 1t with Srupn-
lous care but If the leased companies have 10 DC
operated separately, he may not be able easily TO
show large economies in Administrations Inc

companies were 10 DC an lhei1ap4e och'ho W 'io

II the companies must be worked independently
they will hardly consent TO turn over 'hcir sur
Mus earnings TO company which has no leGai
claim ON them. There are always ways OF whip
ming the Devil around the stump, ana perhaps
there is no doubt that the executive officer OF the
Reading Company will devise a new method
There is room for fresh inventions in this de-
partmcnt Of industry. -, 49,
The stock market was active for an hour or
so and then became dull The declines failed
IN bring out investment stock and after the early
movement the trading was merely In contracts
There was no little inclination 20 realize prohts
In the industrial stocks, and Sugar Refining par,
ticularly seemed 10 be pressed for sale: II fell
nearly per cent, and other industrial stocks
were affected The general fluctuations were TOO
irregular 70 have more than speculative meaning
Tho final changes were declines of less than J
per cent, as rule but the closing was unsettled
and heavy.
