W Lake Erie National REACTIONS AE SHORT LIVED Some Stocks Higher than at Any Previous Time This Year Laclede Gas Broke Badly to 25 1-2, but Rallied Soon After. The Wall street markets continue active and the temper of speculation is 4s bullish as ever, While the steady rise leods ts» heavy realizations every now apd then, the offerings are rapidly ab- sorbed and the reaction: shortlived. The declining tendency of certain kroups of stocks this morning was Promptly checked by the heavy buying of others, which in numerous instances caused prices to rise to a higher level than at any previous time this year. Laclede Gas was heavy around noon- day, and broke from 31 1-2 to 25 1-2 on the announcement that the Supreme Court of Missourl had decided against the Company In the case brought by the city of St. Louis in the matter of the life of the Company's charter. Later on there was a rally to 282%. The general rallway list was not Influenced by the drop referred to, and in fact the anthr: cite coalers were decidedly strong. Jer- sey Central rose to 1007-8, Reading to 172-4, and Delaware Hudson to 130. The undertone of the share speculation was firm in the late tradnig and the decline previously noted was partly re- covered. The d expecially heavy, were unusually well distributed, and some of the low-priced shares im- proved materially under purchases by newly formed pools. Stocks were somewhat lower in the final transactions on the announcement that Gov, Altgeld had called an extra session of the Illinois Legislature.
