STOCKS WEAK AND LOWER.
The stock marker started orstrong under the early
impression that the action Of the bankers ofvienna
and the government OF Austria in relieving the
money market by contribution OF 20, 600, 900 forms
had put an end to the Vienna panic, but the lower
quotations Of consos in London soon changed the
current Of prices and caused decline, which was
helped by parties interested In breaking the price
OF Erie, for the purpose OF enabling them to cover
speculative Sales their efforts to that end being
sisted by rumors that as soon as the Legislature
had adjourned and was out OF the way Erie would
lease the
ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN
railway. The better demand for money toward
three O'Clock also had its share In depressing the
market. Half an hour later . reaction OF consider
able force was under way. inspired by the decline
in gold, which was in turn regarded as revealing
better state OF affairs at Vienna and in Europe
generally, but being at variance with the plans Of
the clique operating for decline in Erie q des-
perate attack was made upon the market when it
was SO thinly attended as to offer but feeble re-
sistance. The consequence was fresh, and for
some OF the list quite serions, decline. The re-
suits OF the day will be found summed up In the
comparative table below in connection with the
record OF closing quotations.
