the Border State Bonds still continued and each OF them
WAS offered at large difference from cash prices ana
sellers option. The various Issues OF the Federal
Governments were very firm, and there is steady de-
maud from investors for these securities. After the ad-
ournment Of the First Board there was more DISPOSE
ton 10 sell and prices marked down little under
few ogeriuVs on sellers option, and, between The
Roars the stocks that have for days past been
extremely scarce eemed TO be little more accessible,
aid this fct together with the ruInor from the seat oil
war of probable conflict soon, seemed TO make the
market dull and heavy and cash stocks were offered
with more freedom than FOR some time past at the
second Board the market lower, and with bat
small business done prices gave way from TO
cent Stocks very freely offered on sellers option,
and at the Close there was no rally but the market
closed heavy with very little business doing, oil toe
