has been a good counter demand from Western

THE STOCK MARKET.
An illustration OF the fact that it s easier to tear
down than build up was furnished to-day by the
eccentric fluctuations and final weakness Of nearly

stocks sold were unloaded by the real

friends, who are now operating In the dark. Pa
