TUESDAY. May ID ?. y

The Stock market this morning was quite active
but the buoyancy of yesterday morning was lost, and
reaction of to II y cent took place. The advance
of the few days brought out considerable amounts
of stock-some of the leading operators taking ad-
vantage Of the rise TO realize profits The unregistered
sales were to considerable extent, especially at the
Second Board The foreign news, which was looked
upon as quite favorable, had temporary effect to
strengthen the market but this influence was soon lost
and the market was too freely supplied with STOCK 10
be sustained There was some disposition shown DUR
ing the day TO put out sellers options but they were
not pressed on the market Theagsregae time transac
tiops reristered show $50 shares of buyers options
against 400 shares of sellers options AT the Second
Board, the market was quite heavy with far bus-
ness doing, and after the Board, still lower pnees
ruled the closing quotations showing loss OF the en-
tire Use of yesterday, and in some descriptions the
prices were lower than on Saturday. Many p!om'
nent operators look upon the decline OF to-day as only
the recedipp wave of an advancing tide, and predict
that after the bulls have realized on a few stocks the
marx et will again advance and touch still higher points
than before. On the other hand, very sagacious
parties shake their heads sagey and point to the speck
of war looming up in the Eastern horizon between
France and England. Given, no war, which does not
seem 10 be very imminent just ct present the chances
with the still accommodating unemp Dyed capital in Wall
street voui seem to favor the predictions of the bulls
There WAS fair amount of outside orders to-day, but
eclipe always checks the speculative action of the
public at least until prices are reached, when reac-
ton seems almost certain. The closing prices were,
