i've market Only the small traders entered
into the dealings, which were for the most part
for the account of the short interest and to
close out long contracts which showed a
profit. There we're occasional bear raids con-
fined chiefly to Sugar and New jersey Central.
Reading was in demand at the opening but
tho stock was supplied so freely that the de-
mand quickly ceased, and later in the day the
stock as sold on rumors OF a probability OF the
Withdrawal of the plan of reorganization. New
York Central, which showed signs OF weakness
In the early dealings, was sharply advanced on
the declaration of the regular dividend by
those who wished to cover contracts in antici'
patton that the dividend would be scaled. The
quarterly report Of the company, issued today,
was very favorable, showing an increase in net
earnings and surplus. On selling. New Jersey
Central declined only fractionally. The an
nouncement of the diss olution OF the govern
ment bond syndicate which took the entire is
sue of new per cents had no effect on the share
speculation. The general market moved inde-
pendently of the indicate the bonds rcceding
to 11715. which is about the, price current at

vance on the opening figures of yesterday. The

their Depression Not Due to the Cur
Pency Bill.

WARRINGTON. Dec. % Secretary Carlisle
had nothing to say today regarding the pub
lished statement to the effect that the new cur
rency plan, 1t was thought, was responsible for
the decline of the price of the nsw issue OF
bonds to point below the syndicate price.
Assistant Secretary Curtis was OF the opinion
that the pending currency bill had little, il
anything to DO with the matter. The fact that
several small holders had liQuidated thsir
bonds, he regarded as not hignifiosnr In many
cases these liqudatious, he thought were for
the purpose OF raising funds with whicn to
meet OBJ igations falling due January 1st. In
Mr.. Curtis' opinion there WAS no sgni fcance
in the reported fact that the syndicate had sold
only 80 per cent of their holdings II was his
understanding that many Of the la. ger holder,
particularly trust and insurance companies,
had purchased the bonds with view VI hold
ing them permanently rs security or reserve.
The bonds, with accrued interest, should now
be worth approximately S117.5i5 on the basis

FOR BICYCLE RIDERS
The Annual Convention of tho League
of American wheelmen in Session
at Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Feb. l9.-Repre-
sentative eyclers from all sections OF
the country swarmed this morning
about the retunda and corridors Of
the Gait House, in the club room OF
which the annual convention of the
League OF American Wheelmen was
formally called to order by President
Burdette. The large Attendance OF
delegates and the still larger crowd
of wheelmen not officially identified
with the proceedings furnished a
forcible refutation Of the reports that
have been current that cycling has
reached its zenith and IS now on the
decline The reports to besubmitted
this afternoon Will show that the
membership OF the League now ex-
ceeds 81, ZOO, and that It is steadily
growing. The present is by all odds
the most important convention of
the organization yet held, and in
many details the outcome Of its tie
liherations will have materialI bear
ing upon the future of the sport.
