STOCKS HEAVY AND LOWER.

oIOChS HEAVY AND LOWEh.
The news of the on-alteraton of the Bank Of
England rate OF discount was in Wall street this
morning at an early hour, and for a considerable
time, indeed, before the Stock Exchange opened
AS may be fanced, it was the signal for q very
lively market at the outset of business, account
OF the general impression that there was now no
longer any drawback to the speculation for rise.
The very first quotations for several of the leading
stocks were half per cent above those prevailing
at the close Of business the night before II the
.'shorts'' had given orders to buy lat the marketn
the first thing in the morning should the bank rate
remain unaltered. or the ''bus" had believed
THE MARKET PURCHASE
from the very start on such intelligence. But as
the day proved there were more sellers than buy
ers, and decline eventually ensued, led by Pacific
Mail, which, in going gradually from 1929, its first
sale to 97X its last, took down with it the entire
list but not without an obstinate resistance the
part OF Northwestern an exceptionally strong fea-
ture all day, which, after an advance to 761z re-
ceded only when subjected to the full force of the
falling tide. 1t looked il the pool in Northwestern
had arranged to move the stock to-day should the
news from London come all right this morning, and
had pursued their programme independent OF any
regard for the general market until the strength of
THE ADVERSE CURRENT
began at last to challenge their attention and in
duced them to desist from further purchases. The
decline in Pacific Mail puzzled the street very
much in view Of the reputed strength Of the pool
controlling It; and while some were inclined to
believe the dropping of the stock Hibernian in
vitaton to the 'bears' to tread the coat-tas OF
the "bulls" others Of opinion that the clique
were selling literally to the outsiders, who were
buying ''puts" OF the clique at 95 and the stock at
the same time. Whatever the explanation, the
market became weak after its incipient squirt Of
activity and strength and closed at the
lowest points Of the day, except for North
western, which retained fully one-half OF
its two per cent rise. In fact, with the ease in
money and the good word from London the weak
ness OF the market was not readily explained. A
depressing 'infiuence" seemed to pervade the air
very much like the malevolent one which is so dis
tressing to horsenesh just now.
THE CHIEF DECLINE,
after that in Pacific Mail, was in Canton, which
went on from 1O7 to 1O5, probably because there is
some hitch In the disposal Of 'the waterfront" /"
and in western Union Telegraph, which showed q
iuctuatiOn OF over one and half per cent between
its extreme quotations. Erie lower, with the
course of the stock In London, which failed to be
benefited by the action OF the bank. Ohios receded
from AZ to 48. The November coupons OF the bonds
