ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE.
Onerators for a decline used all their machinery
tor depressing prices to-day, but the results OBJ
,s,ned were not altogether satisfactory to them.
In few shares there were substantial losses.
I'M. the majority OF those which closed at de-
c,ines generally suffered fractional losses only.
The break toward the close in the anthracite
group was brought about by well directed ef-
sor,s and perhaps the decline was logical after
all for the condition Of the anthracite industry is
more or less demoralized. The cold weather
should have a favorable influence upon the state
M trade but even the weather VIII not be OF
much assistance as long as stocks at all points
increase far beyond the cOnsumptive demand.
II Is understood, or rather. alleged. that the
companies are restricting production indepen-
IDENTIFY TO three days a week but an Independent
action cannot be Of much benefit 10 the trade.
II appears that the anthracite sales agents have
given up for good their monthly meetings, and
hat the presidents doing nothing 10 bring
about better condition Of affairs All this will
show in the returns stockholders will receive.
Unless the coal companies incomes from other
sources than coal have wonderfully increased. the
prospect for lower dividends are excellent. Jersey
Central stock made a net loss Of 39s per cent.
Delaware and Hudson lie per cent and Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western per cent American
Tobacco was sold for profits yesterdays ad-
vance and lost about all o! its gain while the rest
of the Industrials were correspondingly weak.
other active stocks which were down above per
cent were Rock Island. Burlington. Northwestern.
Manhattan and Tennessee Coal There were no
developments in the bond or IN the general finan-
cial situation. The market closed weak and UNI
settled.
Closing prices Of the chief active stocks. COM
pared with their last prices yesterday, were
