A Heavy Tone Characterzes Speculation In
Wall Street

A Heavy Tone Characterizes Speculation in
Wall Street
NEW YORK, Feb. 1s.-rhe week opened on
the Stock Exchange with heavy tone to the
speculation, which was due to the dep res
sion in American securities on the London
market. There was foreign selling in the in
ternational stocks. chiefly in ST. Paul and Erie.
The discussion in the United States Senate Sat
urday on the silver question had disquieting
effect in this as well as in the London stock
market and impaired an unsettled tone to
trading.
The coal shares were weak, and OF the active
list Delaware and Hudson sold off 2ls from the
opening price. New Jersey Central broke ia
rose 2 and reacted is Delaware, Iackawanna
and Western declined IA and reacted q. Read
ing was neglected, only 400 shares being sold,
the stock recedng 9s and regaining "a. The
heavness OF. these shares was due to rumors
unfavorable to trade prospects, OF which the
bears took advantage to raid the properties.
Compared with the prices of about mon'h
ago, the low point of today shows a deprecia-
ton OF I2l3 per cent in New Jersey Central, 10
per cent in Lackawanna and SI4 in Delaware
and Hudson.
The general list was irregular throughout
tha day, but in the last hour the market came
into better tone. The final figures made re-
oyery compared with Saturdays closing quo
tations butin majority of cases are higher,
notably Cordage guaranteed.
There wasa mouerate amount OF business in
the bond market today. Total sales, 1892, 500 d.
The changes were insignificant.

shorts commenced taking back the wheat they
had unloaded. From being quiet and weak,
the price gradually hardened, until about two
hours from the opening it recovered to 52I1c.
