settled, and the volume of business was
extremely light. AS matter Of fact,
the trading was most strictly a matter OF
cl0sing-out contracts by professionals
who were not disposed to remain longer
short Of the market because of the
Good Friday holiday. Consequently the
market was without important feature.
Between IL O'clock and noon the deal
ings were Irregular, but the only fiuctu-
ationS were decline of l per cent in
Cordage, and an advance of y in Pitts
burg, c., c. 81 st. Louis. During the
eally part of the afternoon the market
was strong, but under free sales
prices took a downward turn, New
Jersey Centrhf breaking "a and
Chicago Gas Is. During the last fif-
teen minutes the trading was very ir-
regular and the market closed very UNI
settled compared with the closing sales
Of yesterday. The shares which show
most important are Canada Southern,
per cent and Pittsburg, c., G. q st.
Louis, e. The only stock which lost
Central, the decline in which Is a.
Sugar f1uctuated with much frequency,
but kept within limit of q, and made
an advance of 4 on the day. The

group, but the changes of figures were
but slight. Distilling closed at yester-
days final price, 2714, having in the

OIL the announcement that the receivers
had petitioped for leave to contract for
subway in Philadelphia to cost s6.0OO.-
600. The statement is made that IS per
cent of the Erie second mortgages have
been deposited under the directors re-
organization plan. The indications now
are, i'll view of the decline in sterling
bills, that no gold will he shipped 20
Europe by Saturdays steamers. The
purchase in this market of American
securities for the foreign account during
the past few days has added largely
to the volume of the bills
in the market and removes the
profit in port operators. Shippers also
await definite news as to the fate of the
