q successful negotiation of the new loan In Europe
had been based on proposition of London 1rm
to exchange five millions OF the 62's for an equal
amount Of the five per cents on terms which from
the delay in their acceptance are evidently not fully

STOCKS IRREGULAR.
The stock market opened with a weak and heavy
feeling and in the early excitement, originating In
the fear of trouble on wednesday, there was
general disposition to sell, which lea to quite
sharp decline. The "bears' found the temptation
to cover too strong to be resisted. and as
there Is at almost all times certain num-
Der of operators who 'trade on the market'
and believe that after good fall prices are nearly
always certain to react sufficiently to guarantee
profit of ore or two per cent, the Joint purchases
arising from both these classes OF dealers led to
spirited recovery and to steadier market In the
afternoon. particularly as the impression began to
gain ground that with the precautions taken by
the authorities there could be no riot to-
morrow. Subsequent to tho restoration OF the
market to this quiet condition 1t became intensely
dull and In the interval to the adjournment Of the
sidewalk gathering Of brokers the transactions were
few ana far between. The extent Of the decline Is
shown in our comparative table below, and the
degree of recovery, which was least in Rock Island
and greatest In OHIO and Miss sslppi. IN the ap-
pended record OF the closing quotations on the
street.
