The Stock market, under continued and vigorous
demonstration on the part Of the short interest," settled
down at the First Board from TO e cent below the
closing prices Of yesterday, and the tone was rather
dull and heavy at the close of the session. The ex-
ceptons TO the downward turn were Illinois Central,
Harlem old stock, and Chicago, Burlington, and
Quincy-al of which were steady and rather higher.
The most active movements were in Toledo, Rock
Island and Gsera but the pressure 10 sell the market
down is very well distributed over the share list.

while operators for the decline se because they see or
affect to zee disaster and adversely near at hand.
