were controlled to-day a large measure
by the various reports from the anthracite
coal presidents meeting Those officials were
in session all day and after the close OF
business announced that an agreement as to per
centages had been arrived at on the following
basis, the agreement to date from February l,
1896. 10 January !, 1897: Reading, 20.50; Lacka-
wanna, 1885; Delaware and Hudson, $50; Penn

Ontario and Western. $40: Susquehanna and
SchuylkiH $50, and Susquehanna and Western,
In the early trading the reports that the presi-
dents had or would arrive st an agreement stimu-
lated purchases OF leading issues, and prices adj
vanced sharply. Jersey Central rose TO los; Lack
awanna to 1886: Delaware and Hudson TO l291s;

Toward the close there was some disposition TO
realize profits because of an advance in the posted
rates OF exchange unfounded rumors OF hitch at
the coal meeting, and reports from Washington
that vote on the free-silver coinage bill will be
taken up in the sSenate on Saturday. The opinion
prevails that the free silver bill will the Sen
ate, but bankers are equally sure that it Will not
become law, at least during the life of the pres
ent Congress.
Opinion is divided as to the effect of the passage
OF the bill by the Senate on the new bond ISSUE
some arguing that it will shut OF foreign bidders
for the bonds. While others contend that it will not
have the slightest influence In the afternoon de-
