~
| NEW YORK, April 25.-There was
an active speculation on the stock ex-
change today and the trend of prices
| was mainly upward with the result
! that in most Instances yesterdays
losses in the general list were fully
! recovered, and in the remaining cases
there was partial rally, except in
| the coal shares, which have declined
an additional fraction. The improved
| tone of speculation was largely due
! to the favorable tenor of the March
statements of earnings of several lead
! ing railroads received this morning.
At the opening under heavy selling of
| the coalers induced by the reported
| abandonment of the peace negotia-
tons, the market was weak and a
decline ranging up to per cent was
recorded, the latter in Delaware &
Hudson and 1 per cent each in Della
ware, Lackawanna and New Jersey
! Central. The depreciation in the rest
! of the list was merely fractional. At
! the lower figures there was some COW
ering and also purchases for the long
! account, there being general feel
/ ing in the street that it was safe to
| buy after reaction. Under this buy
! ing the coal: stocks recovered all the
! early losses during the morning while
the general list rallied 1s@A per cent
/ and Tennessee Coal preferred jumped
3 per cent toSs80. During the after
noon speculation was strong. through
| out with the low priced issues, the
| leading features of the dealings in
Guiding Louisville, New Albany &, Chi
| cago preferred which was bought
| freely on the official announcement of
the company's financial plans, Kan
sas & Texas common and preferred,
| Wabash preferred, Southern shares.
/ In the late trading the coal stocks
| again gave way, but. only fractionally
| the general market closing strong and
! with. but few exceptions at advances
| on the days tranactions. The chief
/ gains are. Distilling, Cotton Oil pre-
