New York, Sept. 19.-Chicago Gas was
the leader OF the stock market to-day, 81
400 shares changing hands at 67l5M70. The
rise was the result Of reports that the
attorneys of the company had at last dis
covered a way to overcome the objections
of the authorities of the state of Illinois.
There are not few on the street who
doubt this, but nevertheless the bull pool
seems to be confident of it's position and
is taking all the stock offering. They claim
that if the legality of the company is es-
tablished the stock will rule at consider
ably higher figures. In the meantime the
pool is backing up its opinion by liberal
purchases of the stock. Another indus
trial which figured prominently in the
dealings was Tobacco. This stock rose
from 96h to 1929. The story was that the
Drummond Company, of st. Louis, had
retired from the fight against the Trust
and had put up its price for plug tobacco
from lG to 70 cents. Lead was strengthen
ed by the resumption of dividends on the
common stock and rose to 1854. The rail-
way list felt the influence of the reduction
in sterling exchange; the further advance
in price of Anthracite coal by the Lehigh
Valley and a belief that the gold ship
ments on Saturday will fall far below the
estimates made early in the week The
improvement in prices ranged from y to
% per cent, the Anthracite CoalerS lead
ing. Speculation closed strong at or near
the top figures of the day. There were no
gold engagements for Saturdays steam
ers but 1t was said that William II. Cross
man & Bro, will ship about $1OOO,090 on
the day named To-days rates hardly
warrant shipments and it is thought that
the firm in question sold It's exchange
against the alleged intended export early
in the week. Bonds were strong. Sales
were S1,49OO00. The sales of listed stocks
aggregated 335,000 shares, and of unlisted
stocks q, coo shares.
