NEW YORK, April 15.—The dimensions of the trading in Southern Railway stocks to- { day eclipsed any ever before seen on the New | York Stock Exchange. The total number of shares of common stock outstanding 8-1,200,- | 000. The dealings recorded in the stock to- | Tenn Coal & Iron. | gn to the extent of G2,800 shares, during the | struggle between the Morgan and Harriman interests in the transcontinental field. Th figure was far in excess of any previous day’s | dealings in a single stock until to-day. The | tremendous volume of these dealings dwarted | the rest of the market and yet there were a umber of other stocks in which the dealings | | were on a scale only seen during periods of | great speculative activity. ‘The opening in | was quiet enough and the | in_ Louisville and Nashville to | nearly 4 y over last night awakened some | momentary skepticism of the over-night set- | | tiement of the dispute for control of Louisville and Nashville. But the parties in _interest were already in consuitation when th& stock market opened and there was a scurrying of | brokers from the neighborhood of the consul- | tation rooms. Immediately buying orders ap- | peared in Southern Railway for seemingly un. | iimited amounts of the stock. The movement | in the stock did not become wild at any time in spite of the extreme advance of 6% points | to 0% The reactionary tendency of Louis- | | ville and Nashville was also a convincing demonstration that the struggle for that stock had terminated and the sci nble to get out by the smaller operators who had foliowed the deal carried it down in successive stages io 125%. The last price, however, left it with & net loss of only a point. Southern Railway | suffered at the last irom the profit-taking on | the part of the professional element, which | bought the stock recklessly, but was ap- parently not disposed to remain in it over night, in face of the many possible contingen- cies still open in the situation. The reaction carried Southern Railway back to 37% and it | closed only 1% higher, at a net gain of 3%. | The preferred stock gained 3. The extent | f the public information when the stock mar- | ket closed was contained in the formal state- | ment by the Gates element that they had | bought control of Louisville and Nashville and | that they proposed to leave the settlement of the dispute to J. P. Morgan & Co. as arbiters. | This was accepted as eonclusive evidence that | jouthern Railway would be benefited by the | Southern Railwa: e opening bul | settlement. The heavy buying of that stock side interests.

The Oregon steamer arrived with 7328 sacks Pota- tces and 434 sacks Onions, but had not finished discharging up to a late hour, and full figures were obtained for what few were sold. Green Onions were higher, owing to the scarcity of fresh supplies, although there were I quan- titles of carried-over stock lying around. Asparagus was lower, as receipts were héavy and supplies were more’ than sufficlent for local Tequirements.

Butter, Cheese and Eggs. The shipper who got up the car of Butter for the East on Monday was after another yester- day, and this imparted some steadiness to an otherwise very weak market, as supplies, al- ready heavy, were increased by the largest re- ceipts this year. There are plenty of goods on the market and dealers report Northern orders not more than half of what they have been of Jate. Packing will soon begin, when there will less surplus ng over the market. Cheese remains the same, being weak and plentiful, with accumulating stocks. Eggs as a rule are in very large supply, but strictly fancy ranch are not as plentiful as the medium and lower grades, and are bringing as high as 16¢c in a small way.

In the Citrus market, desirable sizes of fancy stock moved off well under a steady local de- mand and quotations for all descriptions were unchanged. About seven chests of Longworth Strawber- ries were received from Palo Alto and Moun- tain_View and those in condition sold readily at 75cGS$1 per drawer. Some were in poor con- dition and sold at 50G00c. Thirteen drawers of Malindas came to hand from Watsonville, and owing to their poor condition sold slowly at 40c yer drawer.
