There Was a Break in Tobacco on Vague
 Rumprs.
 New York Feb 25.-Profit- taking by local operators and sales for London accotnt accompanied by lower cables led to rather weak opening at the stock exchange to-day. The sales by the foreigners were estimated at fully fifteen thousand shares and included St. Paul, Louisville and Nashville, Denver and Rio Grande preferred and lit- tie Union Pacific and Reading. The trading element, quick to discover the change in sentiment attempted to bring about a reaction in prices and under pressure from this source the market declined Sas per cent. in the case Of Baltimore and Ohio, 23s per cent. in Leather preferred and 2k per cent. in Tobacco. Baltimore and Ohio's decline to 917s was due to the impress sion that the report of the expert will be anything but favorable.
 Tobacco broke on vague rumors that the company had lost one of the suits brought against it in the matter of it's legal integrity. Leather preferred was sold by the bears on the idea that the passing of the dividend must necessa- rily result in low prices for the stock. The directors met to-day, but did noth- ing. The belief is general, however, that President Hoyt in his report to- morrow will state that it has been deemed advisable by the directors to pass the dividend at this time. It is known that this action, if decided upon will meet with the approval of bank CTS here who have been more than friendly to the company. Sugar and Chicago Gas were notably strong and rose to 1175s and 70 respectively. In the late trading the market was depressed for a time because of the break in Tobacco but in the final trans actions speculation was firm in tone. Net changes show losses of A@2az per cent, Manhattan and Tobacco leading. Bonds were lower. The sales footed up s2,178,00o.
 Following are the closing prices re- ported by Prince & Whitely, bankers and brokers, 46 Broadway, New York, and 15 Center street, New Haven:
