STOCKS WEAK AND LOWER.

The stock market was heavy and feverisn. The
bullish feeling was perceprbly sensitive and made
| less resistance to the movements OF the "bear''
party, who have organized quite strong force, and
| to-day eshlDlted more discipline IN their opera
lions. The market does not seem as yet to give
evidence OF any important realizatlSns the part
OF the bul clIques, but their repose while waiting
the result Of the present movement OF the "bears'
weakened the courage Of smaller operators, who
sold q great deal or their stock. There
is decided pause IN the buoyancy OF the MARKET
and the prospect for the immediate future is one
which requires the skill of unusual foresight TO dis.
cern. In the long run, however, considering the
season. the chances are more In favor OF than
against rise 1t should not be forgotten that the
clques, whatever their real line Of speculation,
always turn upon their tracks, in order keep their
plans disguised. At one time the decline averaged
lax per cent, but at the close was reduced less
than per cent the final treet prices undergoing
considerable Improvement from the lowest point
