In Wall Street.


New York, March 10.-There were few
features of interest to railway and miscel-
laneous speculation today. Tobacco monop-
olized speculative attention and figured for
80 700 shares in grand total of 1876. 597 shares.
The stock first declined X per cent to ~.
and then on heavy transactions rose to 75h.
with a subsequent reaction to T43sG74A.
The advance in the stock was ascribed to
covering of short contracts. The average
trader Is giving this particular speciality a
wide berth, and its erratic fluctuations are
ascribed to manipulations by insiders.
There was little doing in Cotton Seed Oil,
and the stocks were firmer, the common
rising "a per cent to Is. and the preferred
n, to COZ. A house credited with Wander
bIlt connections was the heaviest buyer,
and It was also said that the company had
no floating debt, This started latent short
interest to covering, with the result just
noted Sugar was quiet and General Elec-
unusually light, amounting to only 2400
shares. Leather preferred broke u per cent
to $685. and the stock lacked support In
the railway list Baltimore and Ohio was in
fair request, advancing to Is. The stock
was in better supply in the loan crowd, but
It still commands Y per cent for USE All
the Gould stocks were in demand, the dects-
ION on the part OF the directors Of the
Western Union and Mani ttan to make the
usual distribution to stockholders having
had q favorable influence. The report of
the Missouri Pacific for the year ending
December 81, 1895. strengthened that stock
for q time. The grangers, internationals,
trunk lines and anthracifes were without
feature, and trading in them was on an un-
usually small scale. The debate In the SEN
