RAILRoADs-Fairly active
SroCKs-The stock market to-day, while
not showing the immense volume of bust
ness which marked the trading last week,
was still unusually active and presented
strong front almost throughout the entire
session. The interest in the marke. has
been more general to-day and some of the
largest banking houses in the street
were buyers of stock to a
large extent. The fact is that the
uneasiness over the coal deal has subsidized.
owing to the way in which the coal stocks
have he Id their advances and because the
facts are now better understood by the pub
lie. The report this morning that the
Pennsylvania State officers had refused to
inlerfere with the new leases caused
great rushto buy Reading in the
time quite an excitement was seen
In the stock. Later in the day, however,
this sensation subsidized, and buyers tnrned
their attention 10 other parts of the list
Reading for the first time in nearly week
showed only moderate volnme Of bust
ness. While the Coalers still led, the gen
eral list was materially higher during the
early dealings. During the forenoon the
excitement in Reading died away, and
Union Pacific, StPaul, Atchson and Rich
mond and West Point came to the front.
Chicago Gas and Cordage were both active
and strong, but the other Industrials were
quiet and neglected. In the late trading
there was renewed buying, and the shorts
took a hand in aiding the upward move
mont, the market closing very active and
strong, at about the top figures of the day.
The advances included Jersey Central ~,
Union Pacific %, St. Paul 2SS, Atchison
and Reading each 21s, Canada Southern
