chiefly for investment ; the only change of importance WO
a slight decline in 5-20's of 1865 issue, consequent on a
relaxation of the demand for export to Europe.
In railroads there had been a large speculation, the gene"
ral feeling being that quotations would, on cheap money'
be carried, notwithstanding the great falling off in traffin
