SToCKs.-At the Stock Exchange this
was another exceptionally heavy day,
although there was no comparison either as
to the amount OF business done or the ex-
/ citement attendant on the trading The
elimination Of the deal was followed oy
large RELATIONS by the followers Of the
syndicate and there was considerable pres
sure on the coal stocks from bear sources,
the advocates of lower figures being
specially axious to retrieve their losses by
| the recent rise, and rumors were circulated
| that legal proceedings would be taken to
prevent the consummation OF the ar
| rangements by the coal COM
panies. The rumors, however, had no
| special effect. The coal shares were the
| most prominent group in the market and
their position was not so overshadowlng as
| yesterday and othor stocks than those
which are supposed to be benefited by the
combination were largely traded in at
times. London was large seller of ST.
Paul and some others, but bought a little
Erie and Chicago Gas, but let it Off in the
| late trading with the rest of the list The
Richmond and West Point stocks were
very prominent on the rumors
that the statement Of the reorganization
committee, to be issued in a short time,
would be very favorable. The early deal
| iDgs in all the Coalers were marked
by much irregularity. New England fol-
| lowed the leaders very closely, but other
stocks were traded in at narrow limits.
After strong opening Reading fell away
rapidly, while Jersey and Lackawanna
advanced, the general list also showing
great .irregulsrity of movement without
scoring any material changes. Late in the
! day Reading again dropped suddenly and
everything followed, the transactions at
the time being extremely heavy. The mar
ket under this influence closed active and
weak, notwithstanding The rally in few
shares in the last few minutes. The losses
of note comprised only Reading a., New
England ~, Delaware and Hudson =.
