Grain, Tobacco, Cotton, Cattle,
Country Produce, &C., Foreign
and Domestic.

NEW YORK. April 5.-While business
was less active today, only 1885, 14 shares
having changed hands, the market was
irregular in its course. The opening hg-
ures were generally low, with the great
est pressure against Jersey Central. rms
stock broke nearly three points, TO 10 H.
and then rallied sharply on reports that
the regular dividend would be declared.
When It was announced that the d.
rectors had reduced the dividend from
> 10 n per cent. basis, the stock, in
stead Of declining. advanced sharply 10
83-f. The demand soon abated, and
later. the stock dropped back to n 3-S.
The other Anthracite coalers, with the
exception of Delaware and Hudson,
were not influenced by the erratic move
ments I'm Jersey Central, and held tole-
rably steady Throughout. Delaware and
Hudson first rose about two points, to
1o8 rs, and receded to lO2 3-SalO2 81.
The railway list was feverish during
the early session, but later developed
weakness on renewed selling, principal
" for professional account. This selling
announcement from Washington that
the Joint Traffic Association case would
not be heard until the october term of
the United States Supreme Court and

I'm the Senate. The depression was most
pronounced in the case of the Changers
and Louisville and Nashville. These
stocks were weak TO the close. and lost
anywhere from 81 10 l 81 per cent from
the top of the day Burlington and
Quincy suffered the greatest loss.
Speculation left off weak in tone. Net
changes show declines of 1-SQl 81 per
cent. jersey Central, which was the
most active stock, figured for $3.50
shares i'm the total dealings. The
trading i'm ST. Paul footed up 1910
shares: I'm Burlington and quincy 5000;
