was not higher, but while the demand was
not excessive, commercial bills are reported
becoming sscarcer and the prospect OF
further shipments was looked upon as
good The feature Of the day was natur-
ally Reading and its transactions again
amounted to very large figures, but thlsWas
largely due TO the selling, chiefly Of the
speculative element Reading was
heavily sold in the afternoon after
the statement of the Jersed CentraPs with
drawal became pablo ana its price was
driven down from 5l1{ to 4955. a partial
recovery TO 90 occurred, buJat that hgure IT

day. With this decline the rest OF the
market sympathized TO a limited extent,
but as q rule prices were higher. Among
the particularly strong stocks OF the day
Rock Island and Burlington may be men
toned, both being much more active tnan
usual Of late, and the buying apparently
came from good sources. The strong feat
ure of the forenoon was the industrial
stocks, and Mr.. White was a large buyer,
both of Sugar and DiSulleries. Distiller-
les, however, was still pressed for sale by the
professional operators and failed to score
the advances which its kindred stocks en-
loved. Notwithstanding the weakness in
Reading, Lackawana rallied from the late
depression and closed ~ per cent. higher.
The Changers, including Atchlson, were
unusually prominent in the dealings and
all showed strength, but the other groups
developed no feature Of interest, anu even
the loW-p priced shares, while strong, with
the general list, developed no features.
The market closed active with 1rm I'M

the best prices. Sales 432, 600 shares Quo
