THE WORLD OF BUSINESS
Z Wall Street Review.
New York, March 3. 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.

graph below will Indicate: "The Lehigh
Valley llyer made the run from New
York to ItniTalo, a distance of 449 miles

INDUSTRIAL.
The Jeanenvllle shops are crowded
with work at the present time and in
order to reduce the heavy strain, a
number of employes have been put on
the night shift. The general dulnewi
In the manufacturing trade throughout
tho country does not affect the busi
ness at these shops In the least. Sev
eral large orders for pumps are on
hand to be tilled, principally for the
mining region.
The, new supply house, which has
been In course of erection at Yorktown,
by the Lehigh and Wilkes-Burre Coal
company is now completed. In the
future all miners In the employ of this
company will secure their supplies at
this place Instead of the Yorktown
store, as heretofore.
