close OF the Stock Exchange. In declar-
Ing a cash dividend Of 2 per cent. on the

with a scrip-dlvidend OF % per cent. on
tho common stock, caused considerable
excitement In the Stock Exchange this
forenoon. and there were wild auctua-
tions in the price OF the stock on very
heavy dealings.
The stock closed yesterday at 80 81 but

rectors reached the brokers. shortly be-
fore o'clock. bids as high as % were
made on the curb for the stock.
AS soon as the gong sounded in the

there was rush from all parts OF the
room to the Tobacco post. The first re-
cord OF transactions was 5000 shares. at
from 50 10 81. In the next hour the

The dealings amounted to 75.o0 \ialO

For the first quartette or innings inc

viciousness, and made the felders who

C. f. & Y. v. FORECLOsuRE CASE.
Decision I'm Favor of Sale of Rond
ms n Whole.

BALTIMORE. April "A dispatch from
Asheville. n. c., this afternoon, said that
Judge Simonton, of the United States
Circuit Court, had decided the Cape Fear
and Yadkin Valley railroad foreclosure
case in favor of the Baltimore Reorgani-
zation Committee. This means that the
property will be sold as a whole, and not
in divisions or sections, as was desired
by the New York Reorganization Com
mittee. which reported large holdings Of
"A' bonds. The Baltimore committee
with Messrs. John X. Cowen and
]. ID. Cross as counsel, represented bonds
Of all classes. but more particularly the
"B" and &C. holdings. The case was ar
gued at Asheville March 18th.
Both the Southern Railway and the
Seaboard Airline are competitors for
control Of the Cape Fear and Yadkin
Valley property The proposition Of the
SoIthern Railway Company was regarded
with favor 10y the New York committee,
but was opposed by the local committee.
The Seaboard made its offer through the
Batimsre committee, and 1t Is presumed
that It will be accepted, as it is known
that il Is regarded fayorably by the
committee.
REFERENCE TO SPECIAL MASTER.
WILMINGTON, n. c.. April 2.-In the
suit Of foreclosure against the Cape
Fear and Yadkin Valley railway, the
opinion of United States Circuit Judge
G. IL. Smonton was filed in the United
states Court here to-day. The Court de
cides that the road. should be preserved
as an entirety, and should be sold as
such. unless it appears impracticable to
make such sale after certain prellmi-
nary questions are considered and passed
on by the court--the main question being
the values of the various divisions and
branches. and the distribution of the
proceeds of the sale among the respective
holders of the different classes OF bonds.
The Court therefore orders reference 10

been recovered from packages dropped
by the men In their flight. Two packs OF
bloodhounds have been placed on the
trail but II is doubtful II they will be of
much avail The belief Is growing that
the robbers were men living near the
scene OF the hold-up.
