NEW YORK OPERATORS BUY Reports About the Reorganization Plan Canse a Sharp Rise in All the Reading lssues-Liehlgh Val ley Sbares in the Improvement. In consequence of the Columbian holiday in New York but a limited volume ot business was done on the local stock exchange yesterday, and nearly all that was done was in Reading issues.

The announcement that the com pany is not. to be reorganized after all, but that an extension is to be arranged, was agreeable news to the holders of the company's stock and securities, who have already suffered heavy losses and expected to lose still more. Although the persons having the reorganization in charge decline to discuss their plans, it is quite evident from what has leaked out already that there will be no reorganization at all. Any attempt to readjust the Indebtedness at this time, involving sacrifices by the junior bondholders and perhaps also by the general mortgage creditors, would meet with such resistance that the effort would necessarily tail. Nothing can be accomplished of a radical nature within a year.

It is probably this consideration that has induced the controlling element In the property to propose a readjustment of assets. This is not in any sense of the term a reorganization. It is merely a resumption of payment. This plan will probably be acceptable to the holders 01 tne securities and the stockholders, and while there may be some obstacles, it is' likely to go through, especially as a powerful banking syndicate has beeu organized to support it. The market opened aun witn a lew small orders from local shorts to pur chase Readinc lor nearly an hour the trading was very quiet and the price did not rise above 13 7-16, but shortly before 11 o'clock large orders came in to buy at best.

The indications were that some large New York bear operators had telegraphed orders to their correspondents here to cover their shorts. At all events there was active trading lor half an hour, during which time the stock advanced from 13 7-16 to 14 11-16. The buying ceased when the high point was reached, and the price tell oil to 13. As the day progressed the demand for the stock became more general, a number ot large orders being received from New lork. Just beiore the close the price advanced sharply to 15V.

The preference bonds were also strong, and were in good demand, espe cially at the close. Outside of Reading there was almost nothing done. Lehigh alley rose irom 4S'4 to 49 on the belief that an adjust ment ot the Reading's troubles win es tablish the stock on a permanent basis. Pennsylvania closed a fraction lower, but there were only two or three sales. In the other stocks almost nothing was done.

Sales for the day were 41,5 sbares of stocks and (217,500 bonds. The London market did not reflect the improved condition of Reading at the opening, as the following quotations show: li30. 4. Consols Consols 99 3-16 99 3-16 99 3-16 Erie, 21 55 13 110 7J 2i: Pennsylvania Reading Y. Central.

But a Little Financial Assistance Would Be of Great Service. There was cause for mingled congratulation and apprehension in the reports read at the annual meeting ot the Zoological Society, which was held at noon yesterday, at 232 Walnut street.

In the capital account the receipts were and the expenditures 9424.12, leaving a balance of In discussing the financial aspect of aftairs, the Board of Directors conclude that with the spread ot the present awakening in the subject of general public instruction will come a wider acceptance ot" the Zoological Society's immense educational value, with the double result of extending its useful ness and placing it beyond the dangers which threaten Its existence if a period oi financial depression such as the report shows were to continue longer than year. I hat the "Zoo" Itself is prospering was shown in the report of Superin tendent Arthur E. Brown.

Her suggestions for action in case the epidemic should reach this city uur'ng the coming summer were: First, the uestruc-tion of the beddine, etc. belonging to the patient. In bad cases of even cholera morbus or diarrhrea the patient should be removed from her own room, but her possessions should be taken out first.

Smith. Every loyal heart will bo startled and grieved at the sad intelligence received by te graph on Saturday night, that General Smith is dead. Major-General Charh Ferguson Smith was born on the 2 of April, 1S07. His lather was Dr. William Smith, a surgeon in the army.

His grandlather was the Rev. J. Blair Smith, and bis grand uncle bis father's brother Rev. Samuel Stanhope Smith, both famous Presbyterian divines. Having been promoted to a first lieutenancy in 1S312, he was made a captain in 1S38.

In the latter year he was lso appointed commandant of cadets at the Military Academy and instructor of infantry tactics. No cadet who vas under his command can ever forget the exactitude and soldierly dignity vith which he exercised and per formed the functions of his office; be was a living example to every embryo soldier, which was studied and emulated by all. The young soldiers brought up under his eye and by his counsel are now, many ot them, our principal gen erals 11 this war. Of this number some have teen his immediate commanders Grant, for example. General Smith was the real hero ot Fort lonelson, and bis charge will rank ainons the most brilliant and dashing feats of arms in history.

It was the immediate cause of the surrender. For two or three nights he was very much exposed in frout of Fort Donelson to wind, tdeet and cold in arranging and prepar ng his troops, and atter the capitulation be was taken with lever and ague, which weakened him greatly. But is spirit was indomitable. Upon the first symptom of recovery he was again ia the field. While at Pittsburg Landing he jumped from a gunboat into a yawl.and ranasDike into bis leg, which pene- trated .0 the Done, and caused exfoliation.

Erysipelas supervened, and in nine days from the time of the accident he died. Had he been in the battle there ould have been more system and less ba 1 generalship. The loss is great to his atnily and friends, but to the army i is almost Irreparable. General Smith married Miss Mactinr, ot Phil idelpbia, and leaves her a widow with tt ree children.
