what South would discard at tricks three

diamond, which was taken by South with

trick. South held originally: Diamonds.

South reads immense trump strength with
North, and he knows he is asking informa-
ton as to his suit. He can get two dis
cards, and il he signals strength by reverse
discards in hearts IL may cost two tricks
In that suit. South is perfectly justified
banking the ace of spades xby discarding
the jack ct trick three.

The market opened up i'm spots this morn
ing. but there was littlo disposition TO buy
and the bears took advantage OF the oppor-
tunity TO raid the market. There was practi-
cally no support TO the market and stocks de-
clined under tho great pressure brought
against them.
New York Central was the exception To the
rule. The report that the directors had been
called together TO consider the refunding
plan helpe the stock wonderfully, and all the
Vanderbilts were firm in sympathy. while IL
is believed that IL is this factor that prevent
ed the market from sagging OF more mate
rally.
At the opening OF the market the bears COM
menced 10 raid Sugar and succeeded in break
ing il more than two points. There was evil
dence. however, that a considerable line OF
short Sugar was covered on the decline. The
selling was of good character, but at noon
the pressurs against this speciality was sus'
pended and the bears turned their attention
to Chicago Gas although the Washington dis
patches still showed that there was every
probability that the changes in the tariff
would be unfavorable TO the interests OF the
Sugar company.
Up to noon the total sales Of Gas had been
$4,000 shares. There had been little heavy
buying, but, in spite OF this, the stock broke
less than would have been anticipated.
In London today consols were firm at liz

In regard 10 the suit Of the Pennsylvania
road against the Reading Company, special
correspondent of weeden, Kel,dall a. Co. says
today:
81 have obtained some further information
in reference TO the story about the Pennsyl-
vauia suit from "A very well posted party. IL
appears that the Pennsylvania company en-
tered into a reciprocal contract during Mr..
Corbin's term. The important part OF the
agreement was that the Reading company
was to carry l,00O.0O0 tons of coal for the
Pennsylvania road fro Pottstown Junction to
tidewater, and at that point it would be
taken care of by the Pennsylvania company,
and they would dispose OF it. This, under
stand, was not done. The suit was entered
some time ago, but am advised II will never
come TO trial, and, furthermore, 1t was
brought against the old Reading Company.
which is now extinct, and even IL the Pennsyl-
yania road won the case the damage could
not be collected.
