SToCKs-It was like what the street re-
miniscently alludes to as "the good old
timesn on the Stock Exchange to-day.
The dealings were on large scale, nearly
everybody was on the bull side of the mar
ket, and there was an all-prevadlng air OF
buoysncy which carried everything before
it. The moving influence in to-dRy's mar
ket was a newspaper article announcing
that the New Jersey Central party, led by
President Maxwell and his friends, had
obtained q controlling influence in Della
ware, LackaWannaan anu Western and would
hereafter direct the policy OF that corpora
ton. S1aseQ uently q transfer OF 4O,OOO
shares of LaCGaTanna TO w. K. Wander
bilt led TO tho belief that there was a
trunk line combination in the coal deal
and. despite the remarkable lack Of knowl-
edge DISPLAYED by the Presidents OF the
two roads named, the impression gained
ground that the long anticipated project OF
a consolidation Of the coal roads had taken
shape. Reports were current that the
Reading and Delaware aud Hudson COM
panies were involved in the deal to the ex-
tent of being committed to adopt the policy
TO be outlined by the New Jersey Central
party and that all the coal roads would act
in harmony with the trunk lines. As
natural result the shares OF the anthracite
roads were in brisk demand and the up
ward movement therein carried for
ward the entire market The fate OF the
silver bill was not considered as
factor OF the situation, if thought Of at
all, and every stock traded in responded 10
a greater or lesser extent TO the call for an
advance. The coalers, Of course, led the
market, the appreciation in values at the
highest point OF the day being, compared
with the closing sales of Saturday, IA in
Lackawanua, in New Jersey Central, in
Delaware and Hudson, 35s in Reading, 2 in
Susquehanna and Western. The Indus
trials, with the exception Of Sugar and
Edison Electric, did not share to any ap'
preciable extent in the rise, and Disabling
actually receded after noon. The final
dealings were characterized by strength
ana activity and the market closed with q
buOvant tone and a decidedly upward ten
dency. Railway bonds sympathized large.
ly ia the strength OF tue share speculation.
