gency in money and the great strength
OF the gold market. Amid the sur
rounding depression the principal cen.
ire OF attraction, early In the day, was

selves from being wiped out along
with their customers' margins. The
slaughter OF the public by y large
decline OF the day was great and has
completely wiped from the surface OF
Wall street an array OF small specula-
tors on the bull side OF tho market. AS
the day wore along the excitement and
activity In the stock market died out
and comparative quiet and dullness
reigued on stock exchange throughout
the afternoon. The market In the long
room experienced ttful rallies and
there was considerable recovery, from
the lowest point OF the morning, more
especially in Vanderbilt stocks, but
an unsettled feeling prevailed and
purchases were largely to recover short
contracts, the bull element being
severely crippled by the heavy losses
consequent upon 1.-The decline OF the
past lew days. Brokers are beginning

gins and as to the difficulty OF carrying
stocks, in view ofthe money stringenoy
and decreasing want of confidence. In
the p. NJ. tho excitement was transferred
to the gold room, and here occurred
scenes which riValed those consequent
on the recent Illness of Emperor Ma
