New York, Feb. 15e-Some disappoint-
ment was felt In stock circles this morn
ing at the defeat OF the Wilson gold bond
resolution in the House. but the pressure
to sell was not pronounced. In the first
hour the decline was less than a point.
Later on there was considerable selling
of Jersey Central, Northwest and Lead.
Other weak spots were Erie. Lackawanna,
Delaware and Hudson, Louisville and
Nashville, Missouri Pacific, and Western
Union. Jersey Central was sold down
from soy to 83Aa84h, on statements that
the forthcoming annual report will show
only 35l per cent. earned on the stock
for the year Northwest fell from 908t
TO s9h, and the other grangers, 2sGt% per
cent The feeling on these stocks Is more
bearish because OF the poor prospects for
business in the section of country traVers-
ed by these lines. An effort TO make cap
scented by certain members of the new
bond syndicate for gold fell fiat
and deserVedly so. In the af-
ternOOn American Sugar bounded up
2A to 923s the announcement that the SEN
ate finance committee had recommended
the House bill repeating the one-tenth
differenttal not having the slightest infu-
snce. II was believed here that tariff Leg
Station stands no show of passing at this
session and for this reason little attention
was paid to the action Of the Senate COM
mittee. Lead on the other hand was de-
pressed, the failure of the directors at the
special meeting to take action on the divi-
dend on the common Jed to d decline from
" TO Is. The directors, however, ordered
the distribution of ia per cent. on the pre-
ferred, payable March Is. Near the close
Cpicago Gas developed weakness on ru-
mors of hitch, and dropped Ia to 71M.
The general market in the final dealings
was slightly better and left off steady
