SrocKs.-Interest in speculation on the
Stock Exchange to-day was centered al
most entirely in the coal shares which
were subjected to heavy pressure in con-
finuatiOn Of the bear campaign against this
group. The selling in Jersey Central was
heaviest but Delaware, Lackawanna made
tho greatest decline while Reading was
comparatively well held. Board room
talk was very bearish. Ths decline in the
shares began right at the opening and con-
tinued till near the close, at which time
Delaware and Lackawanna had lost 6}5 {;
Delaware and Hudson 215 and Reading ad-
vanced 6, lost the Improvement and raj
lied 4. RecOveries were made in the tnal
dealings ofljI in Lackawanna, in Dele
ware and Hudson limiting the losses on
the day to and ~ per cent re-
spectI vely. The general market opened
dull and fairly steady, but the depression
in the Coalers was quickly communicated
TO the rest OF the LIST, and prices sagged
of The movement In the Changers was
trifing, loss OF q being made IN each
from yesterdays closing. Louisville and
Nashville declined i without rally g..
G. Z. g. ST. Louis aud Pittsburg show
losses of / per cent each.
The bank statement was regarded as IN
favorable as rejecting q congested money
market and a contraction Of business and
the share speculation was somewhat
weakened thereby and closed heavy The
past week has been one OF the dulest in
the history of the Stock Exchange, the
total transactions for the week being only
543,O 600 shares, which amount OF business
is only equal 70 a single days work under
normal conditions.
Ia the first half the week, the speculation
was stagnant, but for the past two days a
bear demonstration against the coal stocks
has impaired interest to the trading with
very few exceptions, the stocks dealt IN
show losses on the week, the Coalers lead
ing the decline.
The bond market was generally firm ex-
cspt in the final dealings, when there were
fractional recssslons in sympathy with the
weakness IN the share market. The trans
actions aggregated $4,000.
The bond during the week has been in
the main grim in contrast with the snare
speculation, the trading was active, the TO-
tai sales reaching the sum Of S5,lS9,OOO.
Prices ut the close are generally higher
than those OF the Saturday previous. Sales
