The Jura's news was considered lees pacific than the
accounts brought by the previous steamer, and this
fact had an adverse influence the stock market this
morning while at the came tine the February returns
of one OF two Of The Northwestern roads have occa
stoned some disappointment. These circumstances
have given the bears an advantage again, and the
movements for the day have been toward decline.
Some Of the operators recently engaged in working for
the rice have evidently urOaaed, and are now either

movements for the decline 1t has besn evident for
time, have repeatedly stated that outsiders
have not been engaged in the specuaons, or at least
but slightly, although courageous well'su.talned sup
port must after while hsve attracted attention

ence is more likely to continue, unl sabstan-
ts evidences of prosperity IN the stocks dealt

meas at the First Board was not large in any
stock aud the aggregate of transactions was no. up to
