The more grmjonnblo weather wa.i considered a legitimate ex planation of a brisk demand for the anthra cite con ) shares , and New Jt rsey Central was especially prominent. The changes In the prices of this s'oek were marked at Intervals , owing to nallxntlons on the one hand and nlso on covering. An extreme KillII of 2 pi r cent was followed by a lo s of ope-h'ilf of the Improvement. Lnck.i- wanna * rose 1 * ' , per cent on the purchase of iliO shares.

' The lOvcnlng Post's llnnnclnl cablegram says : Theslock markets were quiet and Ir regular today. The chief featuto was the rise In Americans , which were more active than for several days past. As cabled to you on Monday , the buying of Americans has In the last two days been of a good kind and today prices shot up from the opening , New Vork prices supporting the rise here. The close wasnt the best. Consols were strong. There was a reaction In Argentines and Prtitfunys were Hat on rumors of a revolu tion. Mines were Nii Mat. It appears there Is no bottom to them.
