but firm.
| New York, Jan. 6-Speculation at the
Stock Exchange during the first hour of
business was characterized by firm tone,
owing mainly to advices from Washington
that the Cameron resolution on the Cuban
question would be buried in the commit
tee. This caused further purchases to
cover, as well as for the long account, but
there was little In the dealing to indicate
any marked revival of outside interest in
the speculation. The general list improv
ed 4 to 1ss per cent. the latter in Chicago
Gas, which was bought by brokers usually
Identified with the insiders. Among the
specialties Consolidated Gas jumped 3b
to 1855, and Delaware and Hudson IL to
l2l%, the latter on rumors that the usual
dividend of per cent would be declared
for the current year by the directors at
the meeting to-day. After midday the de-
mand for stocks generally fell off, and the
market relapsed into a dull state. Be
tween these two influences, prices yielded
fraction all around. The bears pluck
ed UP courage and hammered the leading
share with some success. Sugar ran off
point on the steadily increasing opposition
| between the trusts and Arbuckles. When
it was known that the directors of the
Delaware and Hudson had decided to pay
only so per cent. of the regular dividend
that stock broke rapidly 81 points to 1874,
closing at the lowest figures This sharp
break-had little effect on the general list.
Outside of Jersey Central, which ran off
Il to 101 there was little or no pressure
to sell, except from the room traders. The
H market closed weak at recovery of y to
i u from the lowest Net changes show
losses of NON per cent. Delaware and
Hudson, however. lost 61a per cent To-
tai sales were 14S, 496 shares, including g.
300 Sugar, 1900 Burlington and Quincy
and 1860 St Paul. Bonds were irregular.
The sales footed up 81, 400 600.
