causes Louisiana will pay tomorrow all interest

the work OF a day or OF week. Hundreds Of capi-
talists are absent from their homes. Their only
gauge OF the market are the daily newspaper and
the telegraph. When these convey the tidings OF
q change agencies are set at work which, COM
blning in the street, create business for these
who remain, add to the volume of activity, and
produce results that tell with more or less OF
power upon the entire range Of securities. What

at o6 q o67s, closing at 96k. Hannibal and st.
Joseph called for 40 as the opening and closing
figures. Northwestern developed unusual activity,
and gave evidence Of large and healthy distribu-
ton OF the stock. In changing hands the price re-
ceded from 69k to 6s% at the close. 1t is probable
that this movement will 60 on modesty until the
