NEW YORK. n. ", Nov. 23.-The transac-
tions at the Stock Exchange for the two hours of
business to-day were less than $4,000 shares, and
except for the heavness of certain of the indus
trials speculation featureless. Only two stocks
on the list, Sugar and Tobacco, figured for
many 10000 shares The sales OF Tobacco were
10,500 at S77s down to 1924 GS314. St. Louis
houses were again liberal sellers. and it was an
nOunced that the antitrust companies had
duced the price OF cigarettes in the Western
market.
11.2O0 shares changing hands, sold down from
1884 TO 1915 on an unconfrmed rumor that the
New Jersey state authorities will begin action
against the company next week Chicago Gas was
weak at 635s. Leather pre- erred fell to 655s the
lowest point OF the week, and left OF at 90. The
railway list and Western Union we're dull, but
firm, the result OF moderate buying TO even up
short contracts. Western Union recovered to S74
and the feeling on the stock was more conhdenI
that the Harlan decision is better understood.

houses bought ST. Paul on the belief that the state
ment Tor the third week OF the current month
due, VIII make excellent showing, and
