New York Stock Market,

New York, March 1.-THE recovery
in the stock market, which set In yes

way pooling bill in the senate. made
further progress with early trading to-
day. The general list improved u to
Is per cent. but shrewd traders con-
Guided that the rise was being taken
advantage OF to market long stocks
and accordingly they soon changed
their tactics. American Tobacco made
an exceptional advan OF Pa per cent.
to 4A on rumors that the dividend
would be declared. After the directors
adjourned II was announced that a
dividend OF only 2 per cent, had been
declared on the common, a reduction OF
l per cent. from the last quarterly
payment on February 7th. and the
stock reacted to 72k. The bears I'm the
meantime continued their attacks on
New Jersey Central and succeeded in
d~islodging considerable long stock. In
addition TO a revival OF reports about a
probable reduction OF the dividend IL
was stated that some OF the mines in
the Wyoming, Pa, district were Hood
ed and that some OF the anthracite COM
panies would suffer material loss. Jer-
Sey central broke 8 points to II, and
this led to a raid on Delaware and
Hudson, which yielded readily under
the pressure, breaking from lOGaD to
1OO7s. Lackawanna fell ga to l52 and
Reading q to 20E. The break in the
coalers was the signal for a general
selling movement and the railway, and
industrial shares not previously men
toned yielded anywhere from y, to 2k
per cent, Sugar, the Man
haitian and Western Union leading the
movement. Sugar was
weakened by the announcement from
Alabama that the new Doscher re-
finery had been Incorporated under
the title OF the New York Sugar Rein
ing Company. The Changers were un-
f~avorably Influenced by advices from
Washington, quoting certa., senator's

AN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE
OF Counsel of the Railways of the Joint
Traffic AssOciation-The Association Ad.
vised to Continue Until It's Case is Decid-
ed by the Supreme Court.

New York, March 30.-An important
conference between the counsel for the
members of the Joint Traffic Associa-
ton was held today in the offices Of
Carter & Ledyard, No. 5 Wall street.
The conference, which was attended
by the attorneys from almost every
railroad included in the Joint Traffic
Association, was for the purpose of
discussing the decision of the supreme
Association case. There are capable
lawyeds who declare that this decision
does not apply to the Joint Traffic AS
ISOLATION, and all the phases of the
situation were discussed.
The meeting was held behind closed
doors and reporters were excluded.
Among o present were E. j.
Phelps, ex-minister to England, spe-
cial counsel for the New York Central
Railroad Company; Frank Loomis, al
SO of the New York Central Railroad
Company; John B. Kerr, of the Onta-
rio n Western; ex-United States
Senator George EdmundS, special cOun-
sci for the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company; Receiver J.. X. Cowan, of
the Baltimore and Ohio; ~ex-Judge
Ashbelgreen, OF the West Shore;
Frank Bond, of the Michigan Central;
F. b. Jennings, of the Erie; Henry
Wyskham, of the Chesapeake and
Ohio; r. w. DeForest, of the Jersey
Central; and James c. Carter n
Lewis Ledyard, counsel for the Joint
Traffic Association.
The conference lasted until nearly
2 o'clock. When it adjourned Mr.. Led
yard announced that a letter had
been drawn up and sent to the Joint
Traffic Association giving the views
of the legal advisors. The decision
reached, said Mr.. Ledyard, was to
join with the United States govern
ment in procuring as early as possible
a hearing in the Joint Traffic AsSOcia-
ton appeal. The attorney general is to
make a motion with our concurrence
in the supreme court on Thursday
next, to have the appeal heard in the
present term. In the the
Joint Traffic Association a been ad-
vised to continue as it has heretofore,
pending the determination of the le-
gality of the organization"
Mr.. Ledyard when asked what steps
the Joint Traffic Association would
take in case the supreme court decid-
ed the organization was illegal, said
that the conference did not consider
hat phase of the situation.
When the case comes up in the su-
preme court the argument for the
Joint Traffic A~sSociati on will be made
by Mr.. Carter, ex-MiniSter Phelps and
ex-senator Edmunds. The railroads ex-
pect this formidable array Of legal
talent to present their case in a
hat will result in a decision in their
favor.
