the BOARD appear TO be operators for the decline with
but little resistance offered by the bulls, and the sgSe
gate line Of shorts is accumnl ting degree which
Will be very likely to bring about reaction sftr the
holidays, if not before. The bear attack to-day was
carried on with considerable vigor while the bull
jobbers did not evinoe much nerve in sustain
ing prices There were some purchasers TO

extent outside orders have been attracted by the re-
cent decline, but there is important movement OF

ratiobs Of the Commission houses. In Central the
transactions reached 1000 shares at the Morning
Board Of which less than 200 shares was regular,
howipg bow largely speculative is the movement in

a fair increase upon last year Pacific Mail is steady,
but inactive Erie wss heavy, and fell off to Sl.
