generally heavy. The tone of the dispatches from
Washington in the morning Iapers was not looked upon
quite favorably those Of yesterday, and with ess

which rather overlooked the market. There aso
more disposition shown u put sellers options and
generally the improved feeling Of yesterday lost.
The change was mainly brought about by the less ia
yorable character Of the Washington dispatches, but
the decline We aided by the sales Of parties who
bought at lower prices. The amount Of transactions
was quite large, with predomnance OF sellers' OPP
tons, the activity being mostly in Western sbares
