the forenoon ne > i < i < lon. 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. Consolidated Gas , which has
been prominent In the mniket of late In
connection with a variety of Ingenious , but
thus far unfounded rumors and reports ,
lluetiiated widely and r ! lcctcd active man

undoubted strong llnanclal position of the
Omaha company nnd renewed rumors of a
favorable dlvldind on the common , which
are being taken seriously In speculative
circles , contributed toward : i rise of " per
cent In that slock and strengthened the
general list.
The bears made a derided effort to check
the upward movement around midday and
by dlicctlng considerable pressure against
the high-priced shuns , foiced declines In
the general market , some stocks receding
to below yesteidr.y's llnal figures. Support
was noted at Interval.- ! , hut th" general
speculation during Ihe afternoon was prac

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. The ; 1'nrls and

cornfcd steers. Good cattle , however , were
not as plentiful as yesterday , there being
nothing so loppy. Ueef entilehuvo been
selling prelly high al this point as com
pared with oilier markets and when Chicago

dropped DJdOc. The decline made the trade
a little slaw , as salesmen tvcre reluctant
lo make Ihe concession.
Cows and heifers weio In very llghl sup

the offerings were soon exhausted. The
iimrke-t was fully steady as compared wllh

A considerable proportion of all the catllo
hero consisted of stackers and feeders , but
