A FEELING OF D1sTRusr.
New YoRK, Oct. 1G-At the opening Of busl-
nesB in the Stock Exchange, this morning, it
seemed for brief period as II tho fInanoia,
buoyancy which exhibited itself yesterday, aud
which had, in large measure, restored waning
confidence, was again to bo usurped by dopres-
aion and uncertainty. Prices declined from Il
to per cont and Of course, confidence losaoned
as prices fell. Soon, however, d buoyaucy as
marked as tho depression succeeded undor the
skiliful manipulation Of the bulls Prices con
tinued to advance until tho smaller operators
ontcrod the speculative arena aud then tlore
was general rush Of purchasers. NO failures
were announced, and this tended greatly to pro-
mote confidence.
THE ADVANCE"

tributed throughout the list. As usual, tho
