CobI Operators Alarmed What Mr.
l'owilerly Says.
Nkw Yobk, Feb. 12. AVall street went
crazy yesterday. Fortunes were made
and lost in n twinkling. The transac
tions on the Stock and Consolidated Ex
changes were the heaviest on record, and
the business dono by tho commission
housci was something enormous. There
were 1,440.874 abares dealt fyi ou the
Stock Exchange dnrins the day. Iho
banner business until yesterday was
1,109,012 shares which wcrp traded in on
Bee. 15, 1880. The bond sale amounted
to 7,188,000. Ou the Consolidated Ex
change. 497,880 shares of stock were
bought and sold.
Tho boom followed the announcement
of tho crentcst railroad deal that has
ever been consummated In this country
in recent years the actual purchase of
the Lehigh Valley and Jersey Central
railroads by the opulent Reading com
pany. The stupenduous character of this
coalition can bo realized whf" It is known
that the combined caritai of the three
roads is now only a little less than $400,
G00,00d; their payrolls carry tho names
of 100,000 employes more than that of
any other corporation in tho world and
their prospective earnings for the present
year are fixed at $80,000,000.
The banking linn of Drexel, Morgan &
Co., lias succetsfully engineered the most
important railroad deal that ever Htnrtled
Wall street. All those Interested in the
consolidation plan, including Drexel,
Morgan, and Presidents McLeod and
Maxwell of the Heading and Jersey Cen
tral, respectively, cleared several for
tunes. The scene on the floor of the Stock Ex
change from the opening hour was one
that stirred the hearts and quickened
the pu)ses of the aged doorkeopers, who
have looked calmly on all sudden revolu
tions on the floor since the memorable
Black Friday panic.
When Chairman Mitchell dropped his
gavel on the desk of the rostrum, there
was a rush for the Heading board. The
galleries were crowded with interested
spectators.
Over tw"o hundred wildly excited,
scrambling, gesticulating, perspiring
brokers surrounded it and oltcrod to buy
Reading stock at almost any price. They
occupied every uvailnblo inch ot floor
space surrounding tho inclosure three
miputes after the official gavel fell. .
At the end of ten minutes tho crowd
had grown so largo that it absorbed half
a dozen other groups, who were com
pelled to yacate their places in order to
deal in their especial stocks. The corri
dors outside the railing of the Exchange
were taken possession of by a swarin of
extra messenger and telephone boys who
had been called into service by all the
busy brokers of the Exchange. Reading
stock opensd at 07 1-2. Simultaneous
sales were made at 59, and in n few
minutes C4 stood as u last quotation.
Tills was an advance of 9 points since
Tuesday and of poiuts since Thursday
of last week.
Tho majority of the participants in the
great light wore thoroughly unstrung
a;id worn out at the call of time. A mob
of them assembled iu Delinomco's, and
champagne corks theu began to fly. As
one of the employes of the famous Broad
street restaurant said, as he looked com
placently on the scene: "This looks like
a revival of old times on Wall street,
when it was us easy to make money in
the district us it now is to And dust and
dirt."
Only one failure resulted during the
memorable day. John A. Yates, of the
Consolidated Exchange, gave up the
ghost, and 1,100 shares of New England,
a00 Union Pacific and 200 Western Union
were bought in under the rule.
Prualdent lXootl'a Views.
Baliimohe, Fell. 12. President Hood
of the Western Maryland railroad saya
of the deal by which tho New Jersey
Central uud tho Lehigh Valley railroads
pass under control of tho Philadelphia
and Heading: "If the report is correct,
the bids tor the Western Maryland rail
road will bavu to be increased several
million dollars. This deal will be of the
greatest importance to us. We will be a
connecting link between the Baltimore
and Ohio ou the west, and the 1'hiladot
phlaaud Reading on the cast."

WiucEBBAmui, Pa., Feb. 12. Individ
ual coal operators are alarmed over the
gigantic coal dcul. They fear it will
eventually drive them out of tho busi
ness, as they cannot hope to compete
with the bl trust which will have entire
control of the carrying system. Master
Workman Powderly says the combina
tion is an outrage ngalust the covern
meiit and people The combination has
iu its power to cpiess the miners now
