THE STOCK PANIC
Says San Francisco special of
November Goth: Contrary to gen.
eral expectation the stock panic
continued to-day. The outlook was
more favorable at the early session of
the board this morning, but at the II
o'clock call another break occurred, the
Sierra Nevada going down to 60, the
Union to So. In the afternoon
there was a partial recovery. The ex-
element in this city and in Virginia
City was intense when the break of to-
day occurred, and the street was full of
rumors that there had been an out
break in Virginia City. The press and
private dispatches contradict the rumor,
so far as any overt act is concerned, but
state that the miners, many of whom
have been ruined by the panic, threat
ened violence to John Skal, manager
of the Sierra Nevada, but were to q
great extent Quoted by his proposition
to admit a committee of miners to ex-
anime the mine. Great excitement
still prevails.

the market; that, in addition Mr..
keene himself had telegraphed direct
to four Chicago houses, including the
prominent firm of J. X. Fisher &
Co., to buy independently OF other
orders, and that the re-
suit was entirely satisfactory. Three
million bushels, or the total stock of
that grade of wheat in Chicago. were
secured in December contracts. In adj
