New York. Dec. 1l.-Stocks were irregu-
| lar again to-day and the transactions were
| on smaller scale than for some time past
| The total sales were POS. 1871 shares, includ-
ing 0l4O Tobacco, $1,000 Sugar, 29,6J0
Leather preferred and % 400 Reading. The
| lndustrials were firmer than of late and
there We're indications of buying for in
| side account in the cases of Tobacco and
Leather preferred. Tobacco ranged be-
tween 69aU72I2 closing at 713s. The di-
rectors OF the company to-day declared
tise usuai dividend on the preferred and
passed the one due on the common, thus
fallIylnS the action of the managers
on Friday last, which caused such a com
motion in the market. 1t is understood
that the stockholders movement TO in
Vestlgate, which was started on Saturday,
has been abandoned. Sugar, after decin-
ing to lO4ts, rose rapidly TO 1861 on buy
ing by well-known trader i'm the Indus
trials. Leather preferred, on purchases
by, brokers alleged to be acting for in
siders, moved up from 6lia to g., and re-
coded to 62A. Chicago Gas was quiet at
| 6I9sdoSA. Consolidated Gas made a new
high record, rising > points to 159.. The
| street is imbued with the idea that a big
deal is on between the gas companies Of
this city, and little stock is taken in the
| official denials. Pacific Mail dropped sud-
| denly from 81 to 29A on conflicting reports
| about the negotiations with the Panama.
| Later President j. Edward Simmons of
| the Panama stated the agreement will
| IN all probability be signed within the
/ next few days, and a recovery to 3l5s fol-
| lowed. Western Union was firm at S3isM
| SS$4 on the declaration of the regular di-
vision. The statement for the quarter
] ended Dec. l. 1895, partly estimated. shows
| surplus of $264,505. Standard Railway
| stocks were again very quiet. At one
| time there was disposition to sell the
| Changers, the statement of the St. Paul
| for the first week of December having
| been somewhat disappointing. The bank
| rupt stock, such as Reading, Union Pa
| cific and Northern Pacific preferred, were
| positively weak. Reading sold down to
| rs, Union Pacific to rs and Northern
! Pacific preferred to Az. The fear of
! heavy assessments under the reorganza-
| ton plans hurt Union and Northern Pa
| cific. Late in the day, and quite unex-
| pectedly, l.. Won Hoffman & Co. with
| drew 100000 gold from the sub-treasury
| for shipment to Europe tomorrow. The
| announcement, however, had no effect
| the late trading. Net changes show gains
| of 1kd1 per cent. for the day. Chicago Gas
lost Is and Pacific Mail 15s per cent. Bonds
were weaker. Sales footed up 81, 654, 0C0.
| Sales of listed stocks to-day aggregated
14l,4l9 shares, and of unlisted stocks, o.,
| 772 shares.
