STOCKs-There was general and active
business in stocks to-day, but with the ex-
ception of some stocks in the early deal
ings, when operators were waiting Tor
some indications OF the prospect OF the re-
peal of the silver law, il was weak almost
throughout and the final prices are gener-
ally at the lOwesN with many material
losses for the day. The Industrial stocks
were not as prominent in the dealings
and only Cordage and Sugar showed any
particular strength, the rest moving IN
unison with the general railroad list ana
Changers, showing a final loss OF IL per
cent. The operations Of the bears were
directed largely against the Changers. The
weak spots in the list, however, were the
Coalers. The further action against the
Jersey Central in the New Jersey courts,
in connection with the persistent
selling of the other anthracite stocks, was
effective in lowering quotations among the
whole group. Delaware aRd Hudson led
with a loss of 2 per cent, but Lackawanna
and Reading each lost u, Burlington lost
~, Omaha IL and st. Paul per cent.
Manhattan was without support ana de-
clined per cent. net for the day. Inc
market closed active and weak AT ABOUT
the lowest prices. Sales, 3Sl, $40 shares.
