New YORK, Dec. 29.-The stock market
was quiet, but the tone was better than
on previous days Of the week. The i'm
proNement was due principally to covering
OF short contracts. The industrials were
hrmer than the general list, Chicago Gas

anteed, 2la; Bay state Gas. 81; Sugar, 81;
Iobacco, !; General Electric "a; Laclede
Gas preferred, rz Chicago Gas was high
err, owing to the near approach of the time
for the declaration of the dividend The
Cordage stocks were better on a belief
that the company has turned the corner
ana VIII Go better in the future. The ces-
sauon Of liquidation in Bay State Gas ac-
counts for the sharp rally i'm the stock.
Jersey Central was very erratic, ranging
between Sl%a and s9%, closing at 50, an
November statement, as expected was I'M
favorable, reviving the talk about a re-
quctlon IN the dividend; The stock is
being handled very queerly and il is diff
ncult to say whether the chief manipulation
has an order to sell or not Good Judges
think the object is to market block of
the stock. The other Coalers were firm
Tor Delaware and Hudson and Lacka-
wanna ana easier for Reading The
Sirangers were Il to q per cent. higher,
but New Jersey Central and Big Four
were fraction lower. The rumored res
/ ignauon Of Secretary Carlisle and the

effect. Speculation closed duh but firm.
