BIC BREAK IN New ENGLAMD,
Reported Intention to Assess Com
mon-Stock Holders.
Flood of Sales OF the Stock Due to
the Rumor.

The feature OF the market this morn
Ing was New England. which broke 1 "a.
to sl-2. under a perfect food OF sales
based on the reported intention Of the
Reorganization Committee to assess the
common stock holders 500 per share and
the preferred-stock holders s25 per share.
That such a proposition hould even be
mooted fairly took the breath away
from the unfortunate holders OF the
stock. who. II they fail to pay the as
easements. feel that there Is no recourse
left to them to retain their interest In
the property except through the pro-
verbally slow and winding process OF
legal proceedings. They are certainly in
n bad way, and It Is no wonder that the
stock was poured out In round amounts.

were 81, 1870 OF which 81 ,503.33 were
dry goods, and S6,27o. 700 general mer.-

The ban statement with Its gain OF

stimulate trading near the close. The
general list was positively duh and the
only important changes were In New
England and Chicago Gas.
The former rallied to Q "a a . IA. while
the latter declined to 6s 1-2. The feeling.

than of late. but as the traders had a
monopoly of the business but little sig
