New York, March 31.-The recovery in
the stock market which set in yesterday
| on the Introduction of the railway pool
ing bill in the Senate, made further prog
| ress with early trading to-day The gen
eral list improved y to "a per cent. but
| shreWd traders concluded that the rise
| was being taken advantage of to market
long stock, and accordingly they soon
changed their tactics. American Tobacco
made an exceptional advance Of "a per
| cent. 70 74A on rumors that the regular
| dividend would be declared. After the
directors adjourned, it was announced
! that dividend of only per cent had been
| declared on the common, a reduction of l
| per cent. from the last quarterly payment
on Feb. Z, and the stock reacted to 72I5
! The bears, in the meantime, continued
thelr attacks on New Jersey Central, and
| succeeded in dtslodging considerable long
| stock. In addition to a revival of reports
| about reduction of dividend il was
| stated that some of the mines in the
| Wyoming, Pa, district We're flooded, and
| that some of the Anthracite companies
would suffer material loss. Jersey Central
| broke points to r. and this led to a raid
on Delaware and Hudson, which yielded
readily under the pressure, breaking from
1862 TO lO03s. Lackawanna broke to 1872
| and Reading "a to 2012. The break in the
| Coalers was the sign for a general selling
| movement, and the railway and Industrial
| shares not previously mentioned yielded
anywhere from y to "a per cent. Sugar,
the Changers. Manhattan and Western
| Union leading the downward movement
| Sugar was weakened by the announce
ment from Albany that the new Doscher
refinery had been incorporated under the
title of New York Sugar Refining Com
| pany. The Changers were unfavora bly,
| influenced by advices from Washington
| quoting certain senator's as authority for
the statement that no pooling bill will be
passed at this session of congress. Al
though prices rallied "A to per cent. from
the lowest in the final sales, the tone OF
the market was weak. American Spirits
was ncticeably firm throughout the day.
on the news that the agreement between
the American Spirits Manufacturing Com
pany and the outside dstillers, which has
been under consideration for several
months, had been arranged. Net changes
show declines of Y to per cent Jersey
Central leading. Total sales were 266. 1876
