The stock market WAS heavy this morning in
shares but firm FOR Government seeurites Shares
declined to per cent under vigorous hammer
ing By the bears and pressure Of cash stock. The
aggregate Of badness was large and the downward
tendency il etou,y resisted With q few exceptions
the lower prices ran through the entire list. Tie
only reason for the decline appears to be the doubt
in regard TO Mr. Chase future policy and the slight
w renewed activity in money. At the Second Board
there was a much stronger feeling with IN unusual
activity. The prominent iancies were in good de-
mand al a fraction improvement, and Governments
were very firm at lOi for Skies Of 1881 III, for $50
