Business at the stock exchange to-
day was moderately active, the sales
eggregating 103, 1913 shares and the
course of the market irregular. A
break about a point in Jersey Central
was the feature of the initial trading
end this led to a slight reaction in the
general list. New York Central deVel-
oped great strength and moved up to
10eA on reports which are apparently
we'll founded that the scheme for the
refunding of the company's indebted
ness is making progress. 1t is under
stood that the banking syndicate haV-
ing the matter in charge will agree to
float a rs, 0000 900 100-year gold bond
bearing 31a per cent, and holders of
the old indebtedness will be offered the
privilege of conversion. The strength
railway list and prices moved up y q
Us per cent. The advance, however,
brought out long stock in the case of
Omaha, Manhattan, Canada Southern,
Wabash preferred and the Changers,
and a general reaction ensued. In the
Industrials sugar was heavy, falling
rs to 1895. Rubber preferred reacted
point to 81 and Tobacco declined 1
to 1854. Chicago Gas was strong on
further buying by Flower Brady inter
ests. The bank statement had no eff
feet on the market. The feature of
the exhibit was the decrease in legal
tenders of $6,O46, 900 due to the recent
payments into the treasury for duties
in anticipation OF the early passage of
the new tariff bill. The decrease in
surplus reserve was $4,694, SIS and the
banks now hold $685. T5 in excess of
legal requirements. This time last
year the amount held was $19,042,677
Speculation closed steady in tone. Net
changes as a rule were merely frac-
tiOnal either way. New York Central
gained point while Omaha lost about
as much.
