Speculation Opened Strong on Buying TOT Foreign Account.
 New York, April 24.-Speculation at the stock exchange opened strong on buying for foreign account. The de mand ran to Southern Railway, St. Paul, Louisville and Nashville and Northern Pacific issues. The improve ment, however, was merely fractional, and after the inquiry for foreign ac- counts abated the market Jagged and then drifted into dullness.
 In the last hour the coalers broke badly, Delaware and Hudson falling from 1SO1a to 127%, Reading from 165s to 15 New Jersey Central from 97 to 9415, Lackawanna from 162 to 159 The slump was due to report that the Lackawanna road absolutely refused to concede the Reading 21 per cent. of the tonnage, and that all negotia- tionsi were off. This resulted in the selling of the general list, and promi- nent issues receded 4 to 13s per cent Northwest got back to 979s, New Eng land to 39, Manhattan to 11S, Chicago Gas to 725s, Missouri Pacific to 261s St. Paul to CHE, Rock Island to 665s and General Electric to 33a4.
 In the final transactions the market was barely steady in tone. The sales included 33600 shares of Southern Rail- way, SO50O Reading, 241OO Sugar, 19, 300 St. Paul, 16,10O New England and 13,70O Chicago Gas. Net changes show de- clines of 1s@B per cent. in the general list, while the anthracite coalers lost 12s@9 per cent. Among the inactive stocks Long Island Traction sold up to IS on a report that the management of the property will be taken over by certain prominent New York capital ists. Ex-Governor Flower is mention ed in this connection.
 The activity in the bond market keeps up, and to-day further advance of 1a@2 per cent. was established. The activity and advance was most pro- nounced in Southern Railway lives, Eastern Illinois consols, International and Great Northern and the Ohio Southerns. Sales were GOO.
