600 OF the company S issues having changed hands
In the early dealings the market was irregular but
in the main firm. Professional operators were free
sellers of the Changers, one leading trader having
sold at least 5000 shares OF st. Paul presumably
on information that the new trust was making
efforts TO turn paper profits into cash. London
also seller OF the stock and its sales, according TO
competent authorities were fully 10000 shares
Withdrawals OF 600 gold from the sub
treasury for export to Europe also infused the
actionists with fresh courage and they made efforts
in various parts OF the list to bring about liouida-
tions, but without any success to speak of. The
low priced issues, however were strong through
out, and the business in this group was on larger
scale than for a long time past Prices were at de-
cidedly higher figures some stocks referred to
having gained as much as 112G2 per cent. In the
the leadership OF the anthracite coalers, which
touched the highest prices of the year Lackawanna
increased TO 1877, Delaware and Hudson to 1347s,
Jersey Central to 1852 and Reading TO 225S.
The miniature boom in these issues was due to
the revival OF the old report that the companies
had arrived at an agreement as TO the question OF
coal prices. 1t was also said that the assessment
on Reading will not be as large at first supposed.
The sharp rise in the coalers led to covering by
bears and repurchase5 by sold-out bulls, and the
market closed strong. Buying at the close was in
fuenced chiefly by the announcement that the
bond syndicate had turned another $2,500,000 in
gold into the sub-treasury, which restores the
treasury reserve 10 the traditional $l00000,000
21 per cent on covering of shorts and the rise in
refined of l-l6 to lis per cent. Tabacco adj
vanced to 1855 and sold down to 933s095.
Outside manufacturers met to-day IN this city
and il was given out that il was the intention of
the so-called new combination to enter into the
cigarette business Speculation closed strong with
prices anywhere from IA to 12 per cent higher
than yesterday. The demand for railway and mis-
cellaneous bonds is increasing and to-day the
transactions were larger than any day since the
upward movement inaugurated, footing up
