stock exchange was quiet again to-day
the sales aggregating 1858 shares. In
this small total sugar figures for 1850:
Burlington and Quincy for 1890 and St
Paul for $4,000 The opening was quiet,
following which an advance of NG1h per
cent. took place. The firmness at this
time was partly the result of a reduction
in the posted rates of sterling exchange
of u cent to A.S5Q4.S71s and partly to the
fact that the bears did not continue their
raid of Saturday. The loss in the St
Paul's earnings, which proved to be much
smaller than expected, was also used with
good effect. London again sold in the
local market, parting with about 5000
shares of various stocks. In the Industrial
group General Electric was notably firm
on the announcement that the deal for the
equipping of the Fourth, Sixth and Eighth
Avenue surface lines had been perfected.
Tobacco, however, was down * to 1914 on
tue iCSdi NOulpBCdliOtS VI the company.
The features of the afternoon trading was
the heaviness of the Anthracite Coalers.
Lackawanna fell 252 to 152, Delaware and
Hudson 23s to 1865; Jersey Central pa to
IS, and Reading * to 253s The selling was
based on the belief that the annual re-
ports of the larger companies, now about
due, will compare very unfavorably with
the, previous years. On statements that
the New York and Escabana, one of the
Delaware and Hudsons leased lines had
issued 81 100000 AZ per cent gold debent-
ure bonds last year, led to free selling of
Delaware and Hudson shares and played
right into the hands of the bears. The
general list yielded 1401A for the highest
of the day in sympathy with the coalers,
but the final dealings were a fractional
rally The market closed weak. Net
changes show losses of A@9s in the gem
eral list and 1@2la per cent. in the coalers
Bonds were firmer. Transactions footed
$1.O15,OO0.
