The New York Stock market continues heavy
dull and embarrassing. The shrlnkage In prises
which commenced early in the month keeps pace
with the gradual and daily loss in the volume Of
business. Many are waiting for lower prices,
which, If reached, Will make the market active
and produce q reaction which may result In even
better prices than are now current. Indications
seem 70 point to still lower rates for Wabash.
The proposition looking to the funding Of the
coupons will probably fall, and we hear Of steps
being taken to have receivers appointed. Prices
opened firm, but, as before stated, are not sas-
talned.
