which is being watched very closely.
Reading was again very largely dealt
IN. Moss OF the day it WAS weak, espec-
tally in the forenoon from the effects of
realizing sales, which were helped to
somo extent by professional selling.
The final loss, however, in tho stock
Was only Is per cent. Tho action of
Jersey Central is still regarded as OF
little real Importance to the combina-
tloD, but the report of its alliance with
the Pennsylvania lifted the price of
Reading in tho forenoon. Lackawanna
dropped on light business and closed
tho day with a loss of ono per cent. The
two leading industrinls. Sugar and the
Distillers, fluctuatcd over a range OF
something more than one per cent, but
both yielded in the afternoon.
The general bearish temper of tho
forenoon led to some realizing on tho
