Enormous Dealings II Common Stock
on Change Today.

NEW YORK, January 19.-Enormous
dealings in Reading common shares at an
advance OF Sh points was the feature Of the
early trading on the stock exchange today.
The stock, which closed yesterday at $685.
q net gain OF 313 points. opened today with
a sale Of 5000 shares at STU. In the first
half hour upward of $4,000 shares changed
hands. from the opening figure to 9Os and
back to 6SH. At 1880 the price was SOY.
The movement halted before II o'clock,
the price going Off to 87%. 1t was impossi-
BILE to gain any correct idea of the cause
of the movement. Buying was so general
as to give no clue. Some brokers ex-
pressed the opinion that the move was
merely q drive against the shorts. while
others thought this interest was very
small.
A report was current on the exchange
that clique OF brokers. hearing of impor-
tant developments in the company's affairs,
had taken the market away from the in
siders Still another explanation offered to
account for the rise was that the dividend
might be increased.
A rumor was circulated connecting the
recent sharp advance in Reading with the
reported stock market operations of a pub
lie man whose opposition to the coal roads
has been the subject of litigation within
the last few years.
