FRIDAY, April l-P. NJ


Stocks have been Unfcttled curing the DAY, the
market eoir through two three distinct and decided
muta'iors and taly closing without decided tendency
either for the rise or fall The bears have, no doubt,
oversold the msrke short contracts ard their pur
obsses for delivery have alone been sntcentt to counter
act the effect Of further Gales for the decline. One or
two stocks such as Residing AID Pacific Mall, have
been quite scarce for delivery ard this fact toe, has
