LowDAY q HABICHT.
AusrrN. October JIG. 1s7s


The market for the week ending this
evening shows better feeling, and the
demand for securities has not been 90
much confined to special classes.
Some INQUIRY is noted for pension
bonds, but holders have not relaxed
their grip upon Travis county bonds,
notwithstanding the liberal figures bid.
State warrants are in moderate de-
mand at prices bid below, and no pres
emit prospect of immediate improves
ment on that figure.
In land certificates there is some de-
mand for ditch aud Internationals, and
holders OF small lots Of these classes
are stiff in prices asked, with no dispo-
sition to concede to the views Of buSD
ers. Alternates are extremely dull and
prices asked are nominal.
Approved fee accounts are stronger
and prices have somewhat improved
under an active demand.
Pension certificates are q fayorite
with investors, and no difficulty is ex-
perienced in obtaining figures quoted.
We quote the market as follows:

And, as he wheels and circles IN the air.
A thousand shadows from his pinious fall
