THE STOCK MARKET
to-day, though somewhat quieter than yesterday,
was still unsettled, and evidently held OF anchor
only by the tenacious strength OF the Vanderbilt
hne Of stocks. There Is no really strong under
OF confidence, and men look about in vain for
an outlet to the curiously nuctuating tide. The
market is unquestiOnably being subjected to
TREMENDOUS PRESSURE,
and IN a condition to be keenly sensitive to any
event that may disturb financial circles. Even
rumors are now not without influence, and there
are some who are cruel enough to set these afOat
merely to secure the temporary benefit that may
result Recent defacatons, failures and other
signs OF weakness among institutions and indi-
vidusls have followed each other so rapidly as to
engender spirit OF extreme caution, and 1t is not
to be wondered at that these tell with powerful
effect upon both money and STOCKS.
THE SPECULATION IN GOLD
has, for the present, spent its force and the mil
lions held by one or two have been distributed
among the multitude. 1t was thought that when
this spell was broken reaction would follow and
stocks 60 bounding upward. Instead Of 80 doing,
however, they have receded, and there are few
symptoms in the immediate future OF permanent
recovery. It's more than probable, however. that
we shall witness occasional rapid changes which
Will give zest to the market and life to trade. Wall
street has weathered
