There was partial recovery in prices at the Stock
Exchange to-day although at the start nearly every
thing opened lower. The buyers were very well dis.
rbuted but many of the purchases were for short ac-
count and there has been within day two, very
large amount Of that interest closed up, most OF tte
prudent operators upon the bear eide avaing them
,elyes Of the opportunity afforded to reaze pronts'
Some of the most inveterate GROWERS however, who
never gee the bottom line for STOCKS are quite as resdy
10 nut out fresh contracts at the reduced prices and
they have generally been very well accommodated
during the day. The saes of various stocks, publicly
and privately, by one party, whose operations h've
been the main support of the market hitherto, nave
been, according to all accounts, enormous, and
is reasonably concluded that the unloading process
must be nearly if not qle complete 1t is argued by
many in the street. that the effect of scattering so
much stock will be beneficial to the market-in there
mOval Of that constant apprehension which has been
entertained of being flooded with stock, as soon as
any upward movement fairly commences. The con-
ntration Of large masses of stock in the hands OF
tioue or an individual, is always all Objectionable
feature in speculative point of view, and the know

advantageous one for the market, and IT is quite
possible that new movements for the rise with well
distributed and steady support may be more success

rstons to which hsve frequently alluded OF late.
One Of the most interesting stocks of the day was Pa
