New York, March 6-stocks were dull
! during the greater part of the day. The TO-
tai sales were only 1929 shares, includ-
/ ing 800 Tobacco, p, CD Baltimore and
| Ohio, 2O.1QO st. Paul, and 1920 Sugar.
| Apathy characterized the dealings until
/ the last hour of business when fairly large
amounts of Tobacco came upon the mar
ket. The late decline in the general list
was due to an unfounded report of the Sc
| rious illness of Mr. j. P. Morgan and to
| vague rumors from Washington that the
| President would indorse the action of con-
| gress in the Cuban matter. Tobacco and
! Chicago Gas were the particularly weak
| spots, Tobacco fell from 1914 to 73ss and
! closed at the lowest point OF the day Pro-
| fessional operators were the heaviest sell
| lers of the stock on western reports that
! the opposition concerns We're cutting into
/ the revenues of the company. Chicago Gas
| fell to SOS from SOS, on the announcement
that there would be no decision in the re-
organization case until October Rubber
common dropped to 221z and later returned
to 2434. The dissensions in the directory
caused the break. Sugar and General
Electric were comparatively firm through
out; London bought little st. Paul and
sold some Louisville and Nashville but
the foreign operations had no special in
fuence. Baltimore and Ohio fell to 10 on
fears of big assessment, and then re-
tracts. The decline in the other railway
issues ranged from 4 tosla per cent. The
closing was weak. Net Changes show loss
es of 1zQ25s per cent. tobacco leading.
Bonds were duH and lower The sales
footed UP 1888, 600.
