New York, April 5.-While business was
less active to-day, only 1884 shares hav-
ing changed hands. the market was ir-
regular in the course. Opening figures
were generally low. with the greatest
pressure against Jersey Central. This
stock broke nearly 3 points to 1914 and
then rallied sharply on reports that the
regular dividend would be declared When
it was announced that the directors had
reduced the dividend from a to per
cent. business, the stock. instead of de-
Ginning, advanced sharply to S034. The de-
mand soon abated and later the stock
dropped back to Tss. The other anthra-
cite Coalers, with the exception of Della
ware and Hudson, We're not influenced by
the erratic movements in Jersey Central
and held tolerably steady throughout.
Delaware and Hudson first rose about 2
points to 1885, and receded to 102ssd10234.
The railway list was feverish during the
early session, but later developed weak
ness on renewed selling, principally for
professional account. This selling move
ment was based partially on the announce
ment from Washington that the Joint
Traffic Association case would not be
heard until the October term of the
United States supreme court and to the
revival of the Cuban agitation in the Sen
ate. The depression was most pronounce
ed in the case of the Changers and Louis
vile and Nashville These stocks were
weak to the close, and lost anywhere from
q to 1% per cent. from the top of the day.
Burlington and Quincy suffered the great
est loss. Speculation left off weak in
tone. Net changes show declines of 1k6c
Ia per cent. Jersey Central, which was
the most active stock, figured for 26,6
shares in the total dealings. The trading
in st. Paul footed up $500 shares; in
Burlington and Quincy, 10000; Sugar, TO-
900. London operations were on small
scale, and commission house business was
light. The market for railway and miscel-
laneous bonds was dull and firm The
sales aggregated 1851, 900
