New York. March 25.-There was a ma
terial falling off in the volume of bust
ness at the stock exchange to-day, the
| sales of stocks amounting to 236, 1872 shares.
| against $4,000 shares yesterday. Specula-
| ton throughout was feverish and unset
tied and the tendency of prices was down.
| ward. Professional operators generally
were arrayed on the short side OF the ac-
count but here and there evidences were
! plain OF covering by important interests.
| one broker, supposed to be connected with
Keene interests, bought 5000 shares of Su-
| gar and 1900 shares of Jersey Central
| These purchases, however, had little in
huence on the general market. London
| also turned up as a liberal buyer of St
| Paul and other stocks, taking fully 5000
| shafeS or the former. Local traders ig-
nored these developments and at each adj
vance put out moderate lines The decis-
ion of the United States supreme court in
the case OF the Missouri Freight AS
ISOLATION is still the main bear argument
| and operators for lower prices seemed to
be quite confident that i'm the end the
courts ruling will result in a general de-
moralization of railway rates. A rumor
from Washington that a bill permitting
pooling by the roads viii shortly be intro
duced received little credit in usually we'll
informed quarters in view of the fate of
the Paterson measure. The pressure to sell
was most pronounced in the Changers
Reading, and Northern Pacific. These is
sues dropped anywhere from Y to per
cent. Burlington and Quincy Reading
first preferred, Northwest Rock Island
and st. Paul, scoring the heaviest losses
In the industrials, Sugar advanced to 1874
and the stock commanded a small prem
ium for use. This alarmed the bears, but
after the smaller shorts had covered the
price dropped back 20 1l2h. Leather pre-
ferred showed weakness in the late trad
ing, selling down to 57l4, a loss of 11s per
cent. Speculation left off weak in tone.
Net changes show losses of Ad1Ik per
cent, Burlington and Quincy, and Reading
firsts preferred, leading. Manhattan.
Western Union and Rubber preferred
gained. 1sl1H per cent The bond market
was lower. Transactions aggregated, ST.
