Prices of Money, Bonds, Stocks,
Grain, Tobacco, Cotton, Cattle,
Country Produce, &C., Foreign
and Domestic.

NEW YORK, April 1.-Stocks in the
initial dealings were decidedly firmer,
and prices rallied sharply on covering of
short contracts. The covering was most
pronounced in the Anthracite coalers, the
Nanderblts, and western roads. The
early gain, which was equal to about
points in the case of Jersey Central, was
soon lost, and before midday the market
gave way under heavy bear pressure. The
Anthracites and Gould stocks were espe-
cially weak at this time Delaware and
Hudson falling below par, while Jersey
Central and Lackawanna lost a point or
So Western Union dropped per cent,
to 91-2; St. Louis Southwestern, COM
mon, i -S; the preferred 21-2 to BIZ;
first per cent. bonds g. TO 50, and Sc
conds 31-2, to 1l5. The Anthracites were
sold on rumors of a probable reduction in
the dividend rate by the Jersey Central,
and St. Louis Southwesterns were heavy
on reports. subsequently denied by Vice
President Edwin Gould, of serious dam
age by floods.
In the late trading there was decided
change for the better. The shorts showed
some nervousness on account of pre-
miums exacted for the use of Jersey Cen
trail and Delaware and Hudson, and be-
gan to cover. Professional operators were
quick TO perceive the change in senti-
ment and after securing lines Of the
Anthractes and Changers, bid prices up
on the bears. London was q moderate
buyer at the decline, on reports of an
Improvement in the situation in the Lee
want.
In the Industrals, Sugar made a gain
of nearly l per cent. on the further adj
vance OF 1-Sc. I'm refined. Chicago Gas
broke to II 3-4 on statements that the
chances for the passage of the CONSOLE
dation bill by the Illinois Legislature
were slim Near the close the stock re-
covered most of the decline, in sympathy
with the general market.
Speculation left off firm. Net changes
show gains of 1-4d1 rs per cent, Jersey
Central leading. Western Union and st.
Louis Southwestern, common and pre-
ferred. lost SIS to 3-S per cent. The to-
tai sales were 2l2S79 shares, including
26. 400 Delaware and Hudson. 5000 Jer-
sew Central, q, 800 Chicago Gas, and To-
800 Sugar.
The bond market was quiet and weak.
The sales footed up $4,000.
