cept decline of rates for Congress guaranteed
3-65's. The furry Of the adjournment Of Congress
this morning and other causes detraeted greatly
from the interest usually taken in securities on
Thursdays, making it decidedly an OF day among
brokers.
The confidence felt on the street that Mr.. Nor
rill would eonsummate his desires Of Bringing his
bill to consideration and passage during the last
hours Of Congress had much to do with the appa-
rent publish tendencies on the part Of a few

their securities extraVagantIy high at the cese or
business yesterday, and they were somewhat sur
prised to see a sudden decline at the opening to-
day. Sales at 70 and shade lower. During the
next few days stocks will probably be dull and
the disposition to unload may cause a gradual de-
cline through the interval Of stagnation.
