each declined u; Rock Island was particularly
sought after, and sold the street at HI, an ad

been expected from decrease of million dollars
in specie while the increase of million in loans is

it would not be improbable if still further advance
in prices was witnessed prior to relnquishing the
present hold which tho bulls certainly have the
market.

of Tennessees were sold at 81. Mssouri's were
