There was a ma terial falling off in the volume of busi ness at the stock exchange today, and dealings In stocks dwindled down to 201,178 shares. The decrease In busi ness was due chiefly to the fact that operators in stock have recovered from the scare produced by the Baltimore and Ohio receivership and the action of congress on the Cuban question. Find ing the supply of stock small recent short sellers endeavored to cover, and this with moderate buying for the long account led to an advance near the opening of Ha2 per cent. In the rise Cotton Oil preferred, Louisville and Nashville, Laclede Oas preferred and Tennessee Coal were most conspicuous. An Incident of the day was the rise In St Paul to 77 and the decline In Bur lington and Qnlncy to 76. This is the first time in the history of the stock exchange ' that St. Paul stock has crossed Burlington and Quincy. St. Paul now stands second to Northwest In the Granger group. In the afternoon trading Tobacco dropped to T6 on re ports from St. Louis that the outside companies intended to gi)lnto the cigar ette business. This gave rise to a ru mor which could not be confirmed that the American Tobacco hud sold 1,000.000 new preferred stock. The break in the stock exerted an unfavorable intluenre on the general list, but the decline, ex cept In the case of Rubber, was unim portant. The stock named dropped 3 per cent to 24 on the revival of the reports of internal dissensions. Toward the close a steadier feeling obtained In the general market. St. Paul at this time exhibited considerable strength. Baltimore and Ohio securities were less active and if anything, somewhat steadier. The market closed steady to firm. Net changes show advances of Ual per cent.. General Electric leading. Tobacco lost . Burlington and Quincy V Rubber preferred 14 and do. com mon 1 per cent. Tobacco, which wus the most active stock, figured for 70,400 shares. Burlington und Quincy came next with 24.S00 and St. Paul third with 21,uU0 shares. Furnished by WILLIAM LINN.
