In stock spectators existing iDdi,ations 1t
will be long time before the stock exchange again
wears It's usual aspect. Some Of the leading fancy
stccks have recently fallen low in public confidence
that 1t Is impossible to get up any speculation and we
know that several of the specializing directors in them
have large lots Of stocks on hand, which they hold

market with much anxiety. They know full well
what volcano they are standing on, and they are
fearful Of explosion before they get rid of their
stocks.

the slightest indication Of speculative movement in
stocks, in anything else People not fond of
the dangers and risks attending these things as in
former years. and avoid them with great rmness and
determination.
