WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 10, p. m.
The stock market has been very quiet to-day,
as regards transactions. 1t might have been ex-
pected that the communication of Compts. Tsy-
lOr and Brodhesd TO the District Commissioners,
and that of the latter to Congress, would tend to
appreciate the value Of S-S5's, but they have as
yet been very slightly affected. These letters
have caused considerable talk, and conjecture and
there is some doubt that the recommendations
will be followed. The various influences bearing
upon the subject seem to have q balancing effect,
stand good for to-day. There viii be q meeting
of the Stock Exchange tomorrow, and we shah
then have some changes to report.
