IS statements are as follows :

The railway share market remains dull owing to the
ameness of the speculative feeling both the bull and
the bear SIDE This induced by tho financial weakness
Of the street consequent the heavy losses
four months and the uncertainty which prevails
the action Of Congress in relation to the currency. If
the noncontracon bill to be drawn up in accordance
with the resolution Of the House OF Representatives
comes a law even If the hundred million loan cert-
hcate bill is adopted tine bulls will take courage and
try restore their broken fortunes by another upward
movement; but If Congress should all take action
with regard 70 either the bears will yet further ham,
mer the market, and lower prices will be current
The extent Of the damage resulting from the recent
series Of panics imperecty appreciated and large
amount Of capital will require be drawn into the
street before anything like the old speculative activity
be aroused. The would have been different II
the had made what the bulls lost In panics
there more clear profit to
the bears Just the market may be called 'sdat
