Market Thrill and Rumors Shake Wall Street in March 1892
Boston and New York traders watched a dramatic day as New York and New England stock activity surged to reflect a possible insiders’ plan. The market opened strong with the stock up but slid, while the preferred shares fluctuated, and a conjectured “mystery” around proxies for a major railroad spurred talk of a wider scheme. Prices moved across coal, sugar, and railroad issues, with intensifying activity, large volumes, and risk amid regulatory uncertainty.

The Reading Coal Deal Opened By Attorney General
Harrispeare Penn March 3 The hearing on the Reading coal deal opened with Attorney-General Hensel in charge. Representing the Reading were John J Johnson Thomas Hunker and ex Attorney General James D Campbell. Lehigh Valley and New Jersey Central also had counsel present. The main issue cited is a constitutional violation through direct computer pricing and middleman elimination. The parties discussed past competition and leases with little change since before the current constitution. A layman petitioner urged a full inquiry and the session adjourned. A joint committee in Trenton organized to investigate coal combinations and planned subpoenas for a Monday hearing.
